Musical Contributions

The following music, statements and free artistic-expressive associations  have been made towards The Linen Memorial as these artists have been moved by The (Irish) Linen Memorial. While I welcome their contribution, the personal views and any public comments of these musicians are their own.

Likewise, artistic persons have left mementoes for The Linen Memorial with me. Sometime this year, I will upload digital images of these different mementoes. The personal creative gifts and any public comments of visitors to The Linen Memorial would be their own opinions and gestures.

Musical Friends of Linen Memorial:

From Award-winning Blues singer-songwriter  Paul J. Miles Detroit, U.S.A.

“Dr. Lycia, I have been waiting since 1976 to bring my music along with my spiritual growth to where I can do heartfelt projects to promote humanity and the peace and healing processes we all need at this time. I want the lyrics for 'Don't Forget About Us' to be sensitive and politically correct for what is still going on; as a songwriter I can make adjustments to the song. I'm honoured it was presented at the candle-light ceremony for The Day of Reflection. You may want to have it as a possible fundraiser for victim’s families. . I would love to perform it one day, live, for you. Peace, Love and Happiness to you.” Paul

From Violinist/Musical arranger
Robert Candeloro “Candy”
Adelaide , South Australia.

My contribution of music to your Linen Memorial is about reflection, emotion. It begins with an Irish melody sung in its purist form then interrupted quickly and violently for no reasonable explanation.(as it would have been, because of the mind set). The music then takes you on a journey with its dark mood and at times light hearted if only brief to allow you time to think and reflect of the senseless suffering and pain inflicted on the poor souls who have lost their lives and their families. A time to reflect.

LEST WE FORGET. A TIME TO REFLECT

LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN TO FORGIVE AND START AGAIN. 2006.
