Birthday Gift

The Magic Man – Foolish 2

No sooner did I think Start finding great and beautiful books to share on Instagram  than I came across a most beautiful gift given by two artists to my musician friend for his birthday.

To think that so much time, planning, creative focus, and love went into making such a splendid gift for this splendid man was deeply touching. And there is not a more deserving person to receive such a gift. He has invested his life’s energy into making music in various genres and moving to and through music in such a way as to inspire those around him to move to and through music; he is a gift to all those who experience him.

More brother than band mate of my husband’s for over 25 years, Craig is a musician, dancer, dj, entertainer, and all around magic man.  Nights spent dancing and laughing with him are abundant and energizing. Thank you Craig!

Written especially for him by Kate Best, illustrated in watercolor and pen, and bound with love and admiration by Ashley Young’s skilled artist’s hands. I am humbled to share Craig’s Song (with permission).

 

ps. Hey Craig, can you do me a favor? PLAY ME SOME SLAYER!! Love you brother!
