Okay, now that I have your attention I will get right to the point.  Last month I wrote a story about the end of an ERA, the cancellation of All My Children, One Life To Live, Agnes Nixon and the Swan movement.  That story got me an award at Yahoo.  The story is called "The Day 60 Thousand Teardrops. Fell."   I would love to see that story continue to circulate as it seems to have touched so many people in so many ways.  Then two weeks ago I wrote, recorded and released a song regarding how I felt and how many other people felt about losing these shows.  The song is called , It's Just Not The Same Without You."  It became available as a MP3 download on Amazon.  I heard that the song is doing very well.  It is getting more likes and plays and downloads than any of my others songs to date.  Can you imagine what kind of media attention the song and the movement would get if this song became the #1 downloaded song on Amazon?  I would love to donate 1/2 the proceeds from the download sales to the documentary.  Soap Life - A Documentary On Daytime Drama  so by spending 99 cents on the download, you would be helping the cause two-fold, by raising the number of downloads for the song helping to get it to number one status and by contributing to me donating half the download sale to the documentary.  It is a win, win for everyone.  So please click on the link for the song and download it and then please let me know you did it by commenting on this page so I can have some idea of the pledge I can give to the documentary.  Thank you for reading and for helping us save not just our favorite shows but a whole genre that will be lost if we don't do all these things to show that we really do want to save our shows and the genre.  If you need to hear the whole song before downloading it you can hear it at:

The Day 60 Thousand Teardrops Fell
Donna Nolan-Wilson, Yahoo! Contributor Network
It was Friday the 13th, a day over sixty thousand people had been dreading for a long time. They knew this day was going to happen. They had been warned. They saw it happen with that other town in eastern PA. They held out hope that it wasn't going to come to this but as the day drew closer and closer they had to come to the realization that the nightmare was coming true and that a second quaint town in PA was going to be wiped off the face of the earth just as sure as if an Atom bomb was dropped on it.

They all came together for one common goal. The love of this small town and all the wonderful people that lived in the white picket fenced houses that populated the tree lined streets. It seemed that no matter how loud these people screamed, cried, begged, plotted, schemed and protested they may not be able to save this town.

The Worst Afternoon in History

The hour hand struck on the two and the twelve and the last 60 minutes began. With every word, every glance and every breath that passed, the pain grew and grew inside the chests of over sixty thousand people that gathered together via electronic devices. The last five minutes were the worst. You could hear the sobs across the land and as the last words were spoken, the last words that were ever to be spoken in that small eastern PA town, the tears began to fall.

Sixty Thousand Tears tears fell from Sixty thousand eyes and from the tears a lake formed. A lake that was so full of love, emotion and passion that it took your breath away. As the sixty thousand eyes stood in front of the lake that their tears created out of the mist emerged this beautiful SWAN. Maybe it wasn't over? The SWAN gently made her way to the edge of the lake where sixty thousand stood and without speaking a word she made the people feel that everything somehow, some way was going to be okay. If this was created by her hand before, with the help of the sixty thousand tears, it could be created again. The SWAN sang a song of love and hope to the sixty thousand eyes. As long as there is love there is hope. The SWAN swam in the lake of love fed and protected by the tears until the sixty thousand could help her rebuild her towns of dreams.
