In the words of James Taylor, It's me and my guitar. Always in the same mood! Then again, maybe my guitar is just humoring me - sigh -
Just me, I'm an old Folksinger that still plays out once in a blue moon. Thank you for listening to my primitive acoustic songs. I am a retired Army Bandsman, a certified Wall Wacker, and am currently a teacher. Next time I retire I am going back into Folksinging. It's the perfect occupation really, no hope of fame and fortune and definately keeps me humble. Folksinging just naturally makes me a better person I s'pose.

Story behind the song
We have the sme Boss after all. Most of what we think of as religion is just politics. If we seperated the all too human aspect of trying to comprehend spirituality with the actual quest for spirituality, we might actually find common ground with any number of belief systems. It is a peculiar form of arrogance to believe that another culture has not found GOD because they don't speak our religion or follow our quaint customs.
Lyrics
The Empty Plate Charles W - T Consaul 1. When gathering for your Christmas feast When family and freinds are there Don't forget to set one place The empty plate, the empty chair The reason for our reverie For his father's sake could not be here In body, but in spirit toast The empty plate, the empty chair C: And if by faith your eyes can see Your ears can hear, Then know your prayer Is answered in the promise of The empty plate, the empty chair 2. Until your place is taken And you are asked to come and share In his own celebration Your plate is filled, Your chair is there So cherish those around your table Linked with tables everywhere Through the blessed union of The empty plate, the empty chair C: But take a moment to remember Angels, Shepherds, Wise men Brave The promise kept The tears he wept The empty cros The empty grave
