This page is my "Gypsy page". If you want to download a 111 kb picture (a .jpg image), click here; she's the one in the middle. It was taken in our back yard when we lived in Alabama for most of the 90s. J.D., our first dog who also has his own music page, is the one on the right in that picture. A slightly smaller image (59kb) is also linked to in the look at her tree phrase in the song. We will indeed always remember "the golds and browns".

As a presentation experiment  in not using the composer, where you can 'see' the words play as the music progresses, this page simply displays the words as static text and the midi form of the music plays as part of the page background.  Like Heart 'n Soul, the composer was used to create this background midi file which plays on loop="infinite". In that experiment there is a .gif animation that shows you the music as it plays, but I'm not very happy with the results of that so will hold off on that, here, for now. For the same reason, the presentation for Rev. Dan's Song and Lynnie's 44^th Birthday Hallelujah! are (for now) more like this one.

This music composition is what Miranda Phelan sang for her mother's 25th wedding anniversary celebration in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, July 31st, 1999. The original score came out of the hymnal "VOICES UNITED, The Hymn and Worship Book of The United Church of Canada", Copyright © 1996 The United Church Publishing House. I wrote the Lyrics to celebrate Gypsy's life from April 1991 in Alabama until Friday, October 15, 1999 where she died in Groton, Massachusetts. Gypsy was a free to a good home 'black lab' (mutt!) puppy. She died mostly of old age (we think). For more info, see the song's Info Page (graphic).
