    EACH OTHER’S STORY (2011)
    Here is an interesting blend of genre: a collection of original songs spanning 30 years in the careers of Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly, with a bonus track of a song Elwood wrote in 1966. Some were previously recorded, and on those we’ve added more instruments and voices.

    Thanks to all the fine musicians who added immeasurable depth and warmth to this recording, to whom Aubrey and Elwood are forever grateful: Cathy Clasper-Torch on violin, cello, piano and vocals; John Cerrigione on bass; Heidi Cerrigione on autoharp; Kevin Doyle on percussion; Paul Dube on accordion; Morgan Santos on cello; and Alex Krepkikh on harmonica and tambourine.

    Also thank you to the musicians who were with us during the original recording of some of these songs: Everett Brown on piano accordion; Steve LaValley on djembe; Rick McKinney on mandolin; Cari Norris on guitar and vocals; and Lisa Schmitz on guitar and vocals.

Parting Words
Words and music by Elwood Donnelly, BMI ©2010

Elwood wrote this song two years ago, before he finally realized that although he's not responsible for the mental health of others, he is also not impervious to the hurt of accusations and abuse.

lyrics

It's the saddest thing; this I know
To leave me standing here
Your parting words will bring me woe
If I live a hundred years

OH…OH….OH…..OH

There's a wicked wind that follows you
And shake it though you try
You're ill-equipped and can't undo
The damage you deny

OH…OH….OH…..OH

And when my time on Earth is through
I'll still be by your side
This goodbye wish I'll send to you
That kindness be your guide

Still I'll always wonder what became of you

Repeat first verse
