First off I must apologize to Echo9er for being late with his feature post.  Life and pregnancy is really crazy right now.  I am truly sorry.
Yes, Echo9er is my featured guest this week.  I ran across Echo9er while reading Sgt Hook's blog about a year ago.  When I first started reading Echo9er I automatically became hooked... hooked on this man's compassion for his love of country, love of family... love of mankind.  A kind soul this man has through every word he writes...  I am a lucky girl to have come in "contact" with Echo9er.  Every time I read him I come away with a sense of compassion, pride and loyalty.
Everyone please welcome to My Music Highway Project... Echo9er!
1)  What song has truly              inspired/touched you? (Name of              Artist and Song please)
                           -- Artist:  Lonestar
          -- Song:  I'm Already There              (Lyrics at the end of this              message)            
                      
      
         2)  How did it inspire/touch/ or              change you?
                          -- I can't really say it              inspired me. It touched and              changed me in a way that reminds              me of how important family is              when separated.
          -- As a career Military man, I              spent many months away from my              family. So as I listened to this              song, I was reminded of those              separations, and well, I              understood that I was with them,              even with hundreds of miles and              oceans between us.            
                      
      
         3)  What is one thing you wish              for the future generations?
                          -- Understand the importance of              family.
          -- Understand the need to be              there when you are needed, even              if it is just a voice or an              email.
          -- Understand that being              separated is not all bad, but              rewarding upon return beyond              measure.            
                      
      
         4)  What is one "Project"/              "Charity" that is dear to your              heart?
                                      -- This one is tough. I have              lost a couple of dear friends to              cancer, so I believe in the              Lance Armstrong Foundation. I              believe in his positive              influence on the people he has              touched.
          -- I lost both of my parents to              Heart Disease and Diabetes, so              naturally, I lean towards the              work that the American Heart              Association and the American              Diabetes Association do in              reseach, development, and              treatments.
      
         Thanks, Shayna. You are doing a              great job.
      
         David (Echo9er)
      
                      I'm Already There
      
                      He called her on the road
                      From a lonely cold hotel room
                      Just to hear her say I love you              one more time
                      And when he heard the sound
                      Of the kids laughing in the              background           
                      He had to wipe away a tear from              his eye
                      A little voice came on the phone          
                      And said "Daddy when you coming              home"
                      He said the first thing that              came to his mind           
      
                      I'm already there
                      Take a look around
                      I'm the sunshine in your hair
                      I'm the shadow on the ground
         I'm the whisper in the wind
                      I'm your imaginary friend
                      And I know I'm in your prayers                       
                      Oh I'm already there
      
                      She got back on the phone           
                      Said I really miss you darling
                      Don't worry about the kids              they'll be alright           
                      Wish I was in your arms
                      Lying right there beside you
                      But I know that I'll be in your              dreams tonight
                      And I'll gently kiss your lips
                      Touch you with my fingertips
                      So turn out the light and close              your eyes
      
                      I'm already there
                      Don't make a sound
                      I'm the beat in your heart                       
                      I'm the moonlight shining down
                      I'm the whisper in the wind
                      And I'll be there until the end
                      Can you feel the love that we              share
                      Oh I'm already there
      
                      We may be a thousand miles apart
                      But I'll be with you wherever              you are
      
                      I'm already there
                      Take a look around
                      I'm the sunshine in your hair
                      I'm the shadow on the ground                       
                      I'm the whisper in the wind
                      And I'll be there until the end
                      Can you feel the love that we              share
                      Oh I'm already there
                      Oh I'm already
                      There
