My friend John Eaden has put together a beautiful tribute to Nelson Mandela over my new piano / voice version of "Happy Ever After". When I started writing the song 25 years ago, I took a break after the verse and chorus were written. I turned on the TV and was overwhelmed and inspired by a piece on South Africa, Nelson Mandela and apartheid. Having just absorbed such shocking and heart breaking information, I couldn't just continue with a theme about love and life and wondering if I would be happy ever after. The song then a took a turn towards South Africa. Nelson Mandela is a shinning light of integrity, such an elegant and eloquent man. An inspiration to us all.

My teacher introduced me to this song back in 1994. I'm back here again because of his passing. RIP Mr Mandela

This song inspired me to learn more about the struggle of Mandela when I was a student in university in the early 1990s. The world has lost a true hero... We will miss you dearly Madiba

Thank you for this beautiful collaboration. Julia i've been listening to your music and it pours the warmest chocolate over my heart. ; )I miss our chance meetings in the middle of nature on our shared mountain. Like two owls meeting on occasion flying through the great oaks. Not knowing much about one another yet knowing everything. Much love! martha
