Another senseless tragedy has occurred and this gave me the idea to put in songs about different cities or places among them San Bernadino. Let us all say a prayer for those involved.

Let us hope and pray the world can find peace at last and that the Devil won’t be hanging a No Vacancy sign on his door.
