Expert: Mel Priddle - 5/29/2008


Question
There is a book about it as well.  It is about how your life is not about the years that are listed on your tombstone but about what goes on in "the dash" in between.  A friend of mine recently referenced the book and I am looking for the song to show her or play for her.

Answer
Hello Dena,

You can find all the information you need about "The Dash" poem, and the song recorded by Kirk Dearman, at the following site.......

Expertise

I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
