    In 1971 me and my girlfriend were young and in love-We were 21 and 23-We lived in the woods in Northern Cal.-One weekend we got invited to a private party in the woods of Big Sur-near Monterey-it was a private party thrown by The Allman Bros. Band-they were making their first west coast trip and playing in San Francisco at the Fillmore that week-so; before they did-they wanted a party in the woods and we were lucky enough to be invited-We had to hike in about a mile-there was just a couple hundred people there and the group just sat around jammin accoustic-no electric back in there-At night was wild-lots of acid and wine-and all weekend was -alot of fun-Well-me and my girl made love in the sleepin bag(-it ain't easy)--Long story short-she concieved-9 months later my daughter was born-beautiful site to see-right at home with a mid-wife-well-after 8 or 9 more months we started fighting and ended up splitting up-I moved out of state and we kept in touch by letters-no email then----after awhile the letters stopped and that was the last I heard from her-1972-After that I had a son with another lady-but I have always wondered where my daughter was-I have tried using online search outfits-they are a rip off-they gave me real old address's--So today I hired a private detective-and guess what?-He has found her-she has been searching for me-calling old friends who told me about it-but I have not yet spoken to her-I will within the next 48 hrs. for the first time in our lifes we will meet !She is married and 33 years old!---I am so grateful to have finally tracked her down-and now my 30 year old son can finally meet his older sister and I; my daughter-I'm a happy man and will be flying out of state very soon to meet her-I am nervous and excited both-good things do happen sometimes and ya just never know what tommorro has in store-life-it's quite the journey-!

    Hi there oldhippyman-yes-I will definately keep ya posted on this-I have some friends telling me to email Oprah Winfrey and do the get together on the air-they probably would; but I really think this has to be a private time for her and I to get to know each other-not in front of 50 million people-lol-I'm getting ready for the phone call-the detective is calling her first to make sure it's all good and then he is setting up the first meeting-such a great deal this is-I should have found this private eye sooner-before I gave away money to the online search people-o-well -lesson learned there-this guy is charging me 200.00-! thats cheap-he even has whole background and all the people in her life as well as her moms home address and her new name-all this in one day! If you ever get in this situation I would really recommend this guy-very proffesional-I went out and bought a digital camera today and some new clothes and am pricing air fare and hotels in the San Diego area-any recommendations on the hotels?--bye now-

    Rob, That is absolutly the most touching thing I've heard in a long time. How excited you both must be. How blessed you are. I feel a good cry coming on.
    Brightest Blessing in bringing your whole family together again.

    No call yet from the investigator; but it should come soon-Ya know-there is a spiritual aspect to this all happening-I will explain what I mean-my mother died when I was 21- from drinking-my sons mother died 5 years ago at 47 from drugs/alcohol-my only older brother died 5 years ago from drinking-he was 52-I made a decision 5 years ago to stop doing all that and smoking-partly for me but mainly because I want to stop the pattern of self destuction-that has plaqued my family-my son has a bad drinking problem and this may sound strange but I believe I am really being helped on this from the spirits of those that were once close and now departed-There is something at work here and I can't really explain it because I am not real sure what it is-I am being steered through this to bring together my family and help them stay alive-If the cycle of life is to continue there has to be changes made to make it happen-I have never been a real church goer but I honestly see my sobriety was for purpose-after 37 years of life in the fast lane; there were people there to help me to clean it up and now I can see why it worked-now it's my turn to step up and help others-starting with family members-bye now-

    JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - "Sky Blue And Black"


    www.OldieLyrics.com


    In the calling out to one another
    Of the lovers up and down the strand
    In the sound of the waves and the cries
    Of the seagulls circling the sand
    In the fragments of the songs
    Carried down the wind from some radio
    In the murmuring of the city in the distance
    Ominous and low

    I hear the sound of the world where we played
    And the far too simple beauty
    Of the promises we made

    If you ever need holding
    Call my name, I'll be there
    If you ever need holding
    And no holding back, I'll see you through
    Sky blue and black

    Where the touch of the lover ends
    And the soul of the friend begins
    There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
    And a struggle neither wins
    Where you gave me the world I was in
    And a place I could make a stand
    I could never see how you doubted me
    When I'd let go of your hand

    Yeah, and I was much younger then
    And I must have thought that I would know
    If things were going to end

    And the heavens were rolling
    Like a wheel on a track
    And our sky was unfolding
    And it'll never fold back
    Sky blue and black

    And I'd have fought the world for you
    If I thought that you wanted me to
    Or put aside what was true or untrue
    If I'd known that's what you needed
    What you needed me to do

    But the moment has passed by me now
    To have put away my pride
    And just come through for you somehow

    If you ever need holding
    Call my name, I'll be there
    If you ever need holding
    And no holding back, I'll see you through

    You're the color of the sky
    Reflected in each store-front window pane
    You're the whispering and the sighing
    Of my tires in the rain
    You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost
    In everything I do
    Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you
    In the sunlight and the shadows
    And the faces on the avenue
    That's the way love is
    That's the way love is
    That's the way love is
    Sky blue and black
