Congratulations! I know you won't remember me, but I had a friend back in High School that said she went out with you, I went to Richland High School with her sister and her name was Bianca (Binky) King. Does that ring any bells? Anyhow it is good to see you getting such honorable awards and so deserved too! Keep up the good work Shawn!

Only a Spaceman can have gone where no man has gone before Shawn

Shawn never sold out to the greed and control of the music industry's machine.

Speaking the truth from his heart and telling it like it is !,
after performing to a half a million people at the isle of wright a standing ovation nothing can top such a rush !,, except pulling a 90 year old woman out of a burning building.

Shawn a humanitarian has been a constant light on the path !,,
Sharing His wealth with all who listen.

Om Peace Amen !!!!!

Congratulations! I love your poem 20-20. And of course, your voice, and your music, and your lyrics. And if my house is ever on fire, or my ship is sinking in the Sea; I hope you're nearby.
You're just too cool!
