July 7, 2001	Starts Within Your Heart	It was kind of a conversation between me a friend.	Play It	Read 'Em
July 16, 2001	Casting Cares	Written for a friend. Sometimes people have problems or face situations in life for which it's hard to provide answers or words of encouragement that don't sound trite. I didn't know what to say, so I wrote this for her. In my original 4 track demo of this I was going for a Beatles' 'I'll Follow The Sun" kind of thing, however another friend said it sounded like Herman's Hermits. So this version is much different and far removed from good old Herman.	Play It	Read 'Em
