Those of you who attended Tyler's 'Celebration of Life' know that my partner, Martine, and I performed a song. Ty was always very supportive of my musical endeavors, so I knew he would appreciate me singing to him. It was my tribute to him, my way of giving a speech, so to speak...or not to speak. I'm not much of a public speaker, but give me an audience and I'm always willing to sing. That particular night, I was singing from the depths of my heart and soul.
As my family was discussing the plans for a memorial service, it was suggested that I sing, but no particular song came to mind at the time. A day or so later, Martine and I were talking about it and we discovered that we both had the same song playing in our heads the night Ty passed away. We knew then that we wanted to sing that song at the service. The song, "Fall From Grace" was written by Martine Locke and is on her latest CD, "Undone." It's a beautiful song in its own right, but we made some minor changes to it when we decided to sing it for Tyler. What we ended up with is called "Move To Grace" and we like it so much we plan to record it. It will be released exclusively as a digital download. Stay tuned; details will be forthcoming.

Having heard the 'original' version on my promotional cd (which I learned means 'free')... I can only imagine what the two of you did with it that day! Your love for your brother is so unique... and real. It speaks volumes of how it should be!!
