(“you get to know a lot of people because you get to see them again and again and if you are lucky enough to keep your band around for awhile. One of the benefits is you get to know some of the people that come and see you”…Ed goes on to talk about if you are lucky you get to have a beautiful life and when you lose someone the deeper the pain of the loss is an indicator of the strength of the love…He dedicates the next song to Valerie who lost boyfriend Jan.)
