Benefit Recording

Killian is pouring his energy into recording a bunch of songs. Ultimately, he wants the recording to involve as many well known musicians as possible so as to bring financial benefit to the Integrated Therapies Program for Children with Cancer at Columbia Presbyterian ( http://integrativetherapies.columbia.edu/PandF.html ). Killian has been a true pilgrim for the Program -- helping children (and some doctors) open their minds to the role that nutrition, visualization, acupuncture, yoga, massage, aromatherapy and alternate therapies can play in not only fighting cancer but also living a full life. He's advocated that these therapies are essential and should be available at all hospitals, regardless of patients' ability to pay for such services.

Ralph Legnini (E Boy Music) is producing this recording. He's getting tracks of Killian on ukulele, fiddle and some singing during the periods when he feels good. Ralph lives about a mile from our house. 

Today Killian said he had a dream that he suddenly owned lots of pairs of boxers that were brightly colored and in him dream the acquisition of brightly colored underwear made him happy. We'll try to interpret this dream later.

What a wonderful dream! Here's my interpretation: To me boxers are about being a champion (not just underwear). Killian has such a powerful, fighting spirit -- he's truly a champ. In his dream he knows this and it makes him really happy. He's unafraid to "show his colors"; in fact he celebrates them. As he should, and as we all do! I am cheering you on from the sidelines.
Much love to you all, Betsy

OOoooo! I like that!

and there's also the sign pointing towards the transition to manhood from boyish underwear.

Still, he's not getting caught with his shorts down.

Hey Killian and fam! It's ray from Camp. Dude, you are to be commended for your recording work in support of Columbia Presbyterian - truly amazing! I was listening to some music on my way home today and thought of you. If you get a chance, download Eddie Vedder's song "Rise Up" off the Into The Wild Soundtrack. Amazing vocals atop pretty solid ukalele. Much love being sent your way from the gang at Camp. - Ray Shedd ray.shedd@holeinthewallgang.org
