Composer/playwright Jason Robert Brown wrote this moving and simple tribute for the victims of last week's shooting in Newtown, Connecticut: "Twenty-Six Names"
I've tried ever since Friday to avoid news coverage of the incident, but this evening I watched interviews with some first responders and the reports of proposed gun legislation and other coverage, and my mind kept going to one place. To all the little faces I've worked with, especially in the last few weeks while preparing for all the church Christmas musicals and concerts. Six and seven-years-old are such tiny, precious ages.
My mind can't grasp the horror and the sadness. I guess that's why I appreciate J.R.B.'s simple and heartfelt musical cry on behalf of us all.
