Howdy Folks... I wish to dedicate this sung to my good buddy Jason Bradley. This sweet brother has now gone on to be with Jesus, and so this upload is dedicated to his memory. It's a song that I wrote in Florida in the U.S.A. just shortly before I moved to South Africa. Once here.... I began to hunt for someone special who could arrange my music and bring my songs to life. Well.... I found just such a person in Jason Bradley! The year was 2008 and he and I got to meet each other while doing a gig. It wasn't very long and Jason and I were in; "Meaningful Music studios" recording this song, and having a really good time. I loved his voice so much that I decided to give him one of my favorite songs....that up until that time.... I had wanted to record for myself, but Jason's voice was just that good. I had to give him my song, "Miracle" You see.... I wrote that song back in Florida, while waiting for my house to sell... and I began to wonder if I'd ever truly be able to come to South Africa....and be with the love of my life.... We had meant on a Christian dating site. Well... in Dec of 2007 we were both married and in early 2008 I arrived.... to make my new life in the land of the Big Five!  I'm glad I asked Jason to sing this song on my album. Not everything we do, or create is always meant for us..... sometimes God wants us to give.... for He says, "It is better to give than to receive!" Jason also gave....He gave of his soul and his passion when he sang this song. Little did we both know..... when he did the final recording in 2009,  that soon...he would be going through the dark valleys of life....but you know what? Just like in the song..... Jason never doubted God...but kept believing. He kept fighting the good fight.... of Faith. And isn't that why we are all here? I loved Jason Bradley.... He was my friend. I can't wait to see him over in the glory land, and hearing him sing and playing his banjo. Were going to have a Howdy Doody time...for sure.....
P.S.  In case you don't know.... Jason's the tall guy in the picture and I'm the bearded one... ha ha!!!  Cheers.... Thommy Sides
