Sacred Piano features GRACIE'S THEME - Paul Cardall said, "I was born in 1973 with a severe congenital heart defect. Over the years I have been deeply affected by other sick children. One particular child was Gracie, a baby, who passed after a failed heart transplant. It’s heartbreaking to watch parents fight to keep their children alive only to see them slowly slip back into God’s loving arms. However, it is inspiring to witness children who’ve been fortunate to continue their journey in this life. I am one of those. Regardless of the outcome it seems these experiences teach the value of life and how fragile it truly is. We live for a short while, but in the end we all go home to that God who gave us life.

Editor's note: This is the fourth story in an occasional series
Musician Paul Cardall doesn't get to the piano much anymore, but when he does, the music is straight from his heart, the tired one that needs to be replaced soon.
Two small cameo appearances last weekend during the 27th annual KSL/Primary Children's Medical Center telethon provided him a chance to give back to a hospital he's frequented so often, there's a bronze wall plaque outside the electrocardiogram lab bearing his name.

Guitar Hymns by Ryan Tilby
"While I am waiting for a heart transplant I had opportunity to help guitarist Ryan Tilby with his debut album, "Guitar Hymns" on my Stone Angel Music label.
Ryan Tilby produced my album Living for Eden and is in the country band Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband.
Ryan Tilby is a gifted guitarist who sat alone in a studio with his guitar while he played his favorite hymns.
There is a real tender feeling of expression in his performance and I believe you, my audience, will greatly appreciate his work.
Purchase the album on Itunes, your favorite music store, or at my here at my store.

Statement by Paul Cardall concerning the tragic death of his brother.
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
"I have struggled my whole life with a severe heart defect while Brian Latyon Cardall experienced some mental illness. Rarely did Brian have episodes which triggered this horrific tragedy. The public should know that Brian is a wonderful son, brother, father, and husband who loved being with people. He was extremely intelligent and full of personality. He wanted to make a difference in this world. He was working on his Ph.D. in molecular ecology at Northern Arizona University. He loved being in the outdoors and with his daughter Ava and beautiful wife Anna. Brian was a great friend. He brought so much joy to our family and had the biggest heart in the world. He was a good man striving to learn how to be a better man. It was an honor to know him in this life and call him brother. Our family will miss Brian but we are comforted by our faith.

"There have been many films made about Alzheimer's but few of them address it with the sensitivity and (yes) humor of Brendon McQueen's beautifully shot and touching short film Skip Rocks. McQueen was recently honored as one of Cinereach's four 2008/9 Reach Film Fellows, young tri-state area filmmakers who are supported, funded, and mentored in the making of socially relevant short films."
