This Little Light
Everyone needs a little Light sometimes....
"This Little Light" is a great dance by Jo Thompson-Szymanski written while she was so ill.
We use the song "This Little Light" recorded by Scooter Lee.

From CC newsletter 9/13/08 = Well, we are going to have to keep Jean (Garr) out of cars. Her son was driving her to the doctor to get the results of her MRI from her previous car accident and a fast-moving rainstorm started, he hydroplaned, and the lady behind them said they flipped three times before landing against an embankment. Jean got a concussion but I talked with her on the phone yesterday and she sounded as fine as you can be after something like that. Her son wasn't hurt. I think she must have an angel on her shoulder. She's back at her sister's house for a little more recuperating so if you would like to send a card to her and tell her to STAY OUT OF CARS!!! She has just let me know a couple of weeks ago how much she appreciated all the cards and calls so if you want to send another, here's the address. We hope you will feel all better very soon, Jean.
