A Note From Jo Wilkinson

Edited slightly...Here's a note from Jo...

I think it would be a great idea to put up the link for folks to hear "Ocean of Love," referred to by Tony, as well as in the LA Times article in the Sunday paper. By the way, is there a way to get that link up --- the Henry Weinstein article on Frank's memorial, dated January 29th? (Yup. Done. See the next post below...)

Anyway, "Ocean of Love" came about when I was asked to participate with other women singer/songwriters from Tucson in a fundraising cd of lullabies --- for a non-profit group called New Beginnings. New Beginnings is an organization and place for homeless women and children in Tucson. A cd was released recently called "Lullabies For New Beginnings" and is available over their internet website, http://www.lullabiesfornewbeginnings.com/

Robert Miranda and I co-wrote the song --- and I sang it to my dad when he was in the emergency room one night --- and we played the cd for him the night before he passed away. It's a beautiful song, and if people want to hear it, it's a great way to support a wonderful cause --- carrying on in the Frank Wilkinson tradition ---.
