This is totally different than the buried car in Tulsa, but it’s another news item that touches me. Denison Witmer is a beautiful singer/songwriter, and I’m sure he’s a beautiful soul as well. Here’s a quote copied from his page www.happybirthdaydenison.com:———–

What’s All This? As of today (November 4, 2006), I am 30 years old. I’m throwing my own birthday party. You are all invited. I have decided to give you a gift: 30 new recordings of songs from my entire catalog, a few covers, a few unreleased songs, and a some podcasts of stories from my touring and my life in general. This is my gift to you free of charge. However, the purpose of Happy Birthday Denison is to serve as a fund-raiser for my favorite charities. Every year, I will be adding content to this site on my birthday. In exchange for the content (songs, etc), I am asking that you donate money to the charities I have chosen. Please donate whatever amount wish. The content on this site will always remain free of charge. All donations are received as a goodwill exchange.

The the charities I have chosen are Partners In Health and Musicians On Call.

I love that he sat down and recorded all these songs alone with his guitar, and I love that he’s offered them up as his birthday gift to us. I also love that he is asking for donations to charities he cares about. Please listen to his music. Please donate to the charities. Go see him and Rosie Thomas on tour if all possible.
