Hi Dave,
This is what I wrote to share with our class about “Alice’s Song”:
Many of you knew my parents while we were growing up, so I would like to share a song with you that I wrote about my parent’s wedding day. It is a true story. My mom would always tell me stories of how it snowed in Iowa on her wedding day, which was March 23rd, 1952. She walked to church in her dress with her Dad’s rubber boots over her shoes, because of all the snow. In an attempt to keep the story alive for our children and grandchildren, I wrote this song. My mother, Alice, is living in Des Moines in a memory care facility and my father died 18 years ago. Writing this song has given me comfort and I hope that you enjoy listening to it!
I’d like to thank Keith Yoder (Paul Robert’s cousin!) for helping me with the arrangement and recording. Keith played the guitar and mandolin on this song and I played my guitar too. I would also like to thank our web master, Dave Gerlits, for helping put this song “in the clouds” so that it can be shared with all of you!
Best wishes,
Jackie (Dague) Nicholson
