As a fellow Texan, a TT grad, and someone who has had a long interest in the Comanche, I congratulate him on his fantastic accomplishments.<br />The song is poignant, sad, and true to heart. Thanks for introducing him to us.

There is also a lilt of "on the shores of ..." in both your song. People the world over have the same troubles.<br /><br />JulieJulie Eberhart Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491920614703104996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456337395840098707.post-41571531193113758832011-05-22T05:42:32.893-05:002011-05-22T05:42:32.893-05:00Wonderful blog Linda, and what a tragic story.

So is Geronimo, but he's buried in the POW section. Every time we go down there, we visit all of their graves. I've always thought her story was so, so sad. That is just a lovely song that Andy wrote--I would love to hear him perform it. Great blog--thanks for sharing.<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456337395840098707.post-2298808256032844992011-05-21T20:47:35.202-05:002011-05-21T20:47:35.202-05:00What a fascinating blog!
