Kelly Ryan Albuquerque, NM United States - Thursday, July 29, 2010 at 09:24:06 (EDT) Hello Terry, I can't think of a better way to say Thanks to those who made it possible for all of us to live free! Freedom is never free, it comes at a terrible cost! I play it often as a reminder! Thanks for your efforts! God Bless! Kelly Peter Gregson Doreen, Vic Australia - Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 03:41:33 (EDT) Hello Terry, It is a wet and cold winters day here and I am practicing my guitar. I thought, I must have another listen to A Pittance of Time to try to pick up on the way you play it(it had been sent to me by a friend. A most wonderful song). Looked further on You Tube and found more of your wonderful songs. Watched the piece of your key note speech. Blind! My friend you are an inspiration. You are right about challenges and gifts. Thankyou.

Ian Davies ENGLAND - Friday, July 09, 2010 at 02:54:18 (EDT) Terry it was a pleasure to browse your website, what a fantastic place. As a serving member of the Royal Navy the Pittance of Time song was introduced to me by Lisa and I was deeply moved, lest we forget not only the heroic men and women who sadly are no longer with us but also those less fortuante than ourselves, by keeping and passing on to future generations and the voluntary charity support you undertake - their memories will live forever. Sir i take my cap off to you and it will be a pleasure to meet you some day soon. Thank you. Ian Michael G. McKay Sault Ste. Marie,, Ontario Canada. - Tuesday, June 29, 2010 at 19:23:56 (EDT) Hey Terry: Just a quick note, to say hello, and I love your website. And also to Say Thanks for what you are doing for Canadian blnd People like myself. God bless! Sarah Hawke Canton, OH USA - Saturday, June 19, 2010 at 13:05:05 (EDT) Dear Mr. Kelly I think I might just be your biggest fan in the US. My Mom found your CD Power of the Dream, many years ago and got it for me for a Christmas gift. I just loved your music from the first time I heard it and made my Mom get me more. I am 17 years old and have been blind since I was 19 months old due to a head injury. I attend the Ohio State School for the Blind and am very proud that I belong to the only blind marching band in the land and that we had the privilege to march in the 2010 Pasadena Rose Bowl Parade. I just attended a week of technology camp at my school and our final project was to do a Podcast. My presentation was about you and it included the song, "Power of the Dream". Every one loved it. I hope someday that I will be able to meet you, but in the meantime I follow you through your website and listen to your music daily. Sincerely, Sarah Hawke, Canton, Ohio Karen Lee Hill San Antonio, TX USA - Wednesday, June 02, 2010 at 11:47:24 (EDT) About half an hour ago, I received an email with "A Pittance of Time" included as an attachment from one of my late husband's helicopter flight school buddies. I viewed it with incredible awe and immediately forwarded the email to a large number of friends, both military and civilian. I know that some people are not able to open attachments, but knew that HAD TO SEE "A Pittance in Time" and to try googling the title. I added that I was about to do that very thing as I wanted to know who that wonderful "Irish" singer was! Was I ever surprised and delighted to find that you are Canadian and from Nova Scotia as well! My husband and I attended Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA, graduating in 1960. I worked for various Departments of the Government during the summers off from college and then full time after graduating. We were bombarded with televsion and printed news coverage of the deplorable treatment our soldiers experience upon their return from Vietnam. I've only read a few of the entries in your guest book so far, but I, too, can attest to that same treatment continuing in California. Likewise, here in Texas, I as well as many others, are very vocal about thanking our Troops for their sacrifices so that we can enjoy our freedoms. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE! God bless you for your gift to the world! I was so touched by your personal story and admire you, not only for your singing talent, wordsmithing, and spirit, but also for your dedication to volunteerism! I am now going to the web site to make a contribution to support your Cancer Ride and then calling the number listed below to purchase your cd's and hopefully there is a dvd!!! Keep up your excellent work! I'm hoping that maybe I'll be fortunate enough to find you performing close to Vergas, MN - in Fargo, ND, or around the Minneapolis area!!! Pamela Bell Elmendorf AFB, AK USA - Tuesday, June 01, 2010 at 18:28:07 (EDT) WOW! I watched a program on 360 North.org TV today and heard this song for the first time. I've rewound the DVR 4xs now and I cry just as hard each time. I was a teen at the tail end of the Viet Nam war. I heard how some people treated returning troops and was horrified at the young age of 14. I've worked with Nam vets with the USO and I never walk away without thanking them. WE WILL NOT TREAT OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS this way again, I've heard. Sadly, I've talked to young sailors stationed in San Diego who don't wear their uniforms off base because of the way civilians treat them. Troops who are native Californians say they won't travel in their own state in uniform because of the way their own neighbors treat them. I've heard of a young soldier walking through Chicago airport and was spat upon, because he was in uniform. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! This is happening RIGHT NOW!!! Not in 1969 or 1973 but in 2009, 2010. At the age of 53, I'm just as horrified as I was as a teen. These ! are YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS!!! THESE ARE OUR FAMILY!!!! By the way, we don't treat our troops this way in Texas!!! Come through the DFW airport and see how to honor our beloved troops! Terry, I'm going to pass your webpage to everyone I know. They will pass it on and we will help spread the word of your touching tribute! GOD BLESS YOU, GOD BLESS CANADA, GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! George Vermillion Arnold , MD USA - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at 17:48:20 (EDT) I am a retired US Navy Officer and had a “Pittance of Time” event happen to me last Veterans’ Day. As a defense contractor, we are all allowed a “floating” day of leave for Veteran’s Day but the office remains open and there is an expectation for everyone to come to work that day. Veterans’ Day is considered only a minor holiday. I am sad to say most of us gave it no thought. This past year on November 11th, my meeting was scheduled for 11:00 and at about 10:50 as I prepared my reports, I realized that in a few minutes it would be the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” and the significance that holds. I went to the meeting and started to announce the fact when a young engineer interupted saying “Come on, we need to get this meeting over.” He didn’t realize what I was about to say and I wasn’t able to make him understand, but I had a sick feeling for the rest of the day. I knew I should be honoring my comrades rather than working as on a regular day. I live in the Washington DC Area and commute past Arlington twice a day but I rarely stop there. The following Saturday, my band was playing for an Elks Club Veterans' Day observance and the speaker played the video of “A Pittance of Time.” And it really hit me hard. Since I work with a lot of veterans including retired military, I told my story to them and many have had similar experiences. We are all taking a new look at how we spend Memorial Day and Veterans Day and for that matter every day. Thank you for your inspiration. George Vermillion Louise Brooking-McDow Grand Lake, NS Canada - Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 10:46:49 (EDT) Terry Kelly, Oh How I cried. I was in Holland to the 65th Liberation and at the Museum at Grosebeck I think.. the days and town are starting to overlap. In one of the rooms where a large sign that displased the indenpence and freedom is your video and your song a Pitence of Time.. Oh How I cried. Your words and your song has touched so many and I am so proud to have met you and say that I am canadaian along with you. God Bless you. Lyda O'Dell Ansted, Wv USA - Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 19:18:38 (EDT) Speechless!Outstanding song...wonderful voice! Maggie Forster Cambridge, England - Monday, May 03, 2010 at 05:31:29 (EDT) What a wonderful song. Every time I watch the video it makes my spine tingle. A true tribute to all the young men and women who l ost their lives for our freedom. Thank you Terry steven perth, w.a. australia - Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 23:21:39 (EDT) Vic Craft Kapolei, HI USA - Sunday, April 18, 2010 at 20:14:10 (EDT) Well Stated. Freedom is a universal cause. All people are created equal. If we believe in freedom then we defend it wherever this may be. "when some are not free,then all are not free" Vic Craft Kapolei, HI USA - Sunday, April 18, 2010 at 20:14:10 (EDT) World War Two veterans have been hailed as the “Greatest Generation”. As a son of one of the “Greatest Generation” I served in Viet Nam with the idea that while I may not have understood the larger rationale, I was still serving a cause. It was expected of me. We did not go there with the idea of conquest. We were confronting a foe on foreign soil. Soil that we did not want as our own. There was no matter of right or wrong. In combat, the larger issue is defending your buddy. Viet Nam veterans have become the “Forgotten Generation”. Ignored by a public that would rather not remember the protests and the rioting. And forget those that amid the controversy went anyway. Over 50,000 of our number did not return alive. I had the opportunity to go to Canada to escape the draft and the possibility of going to an “unpopular” war. I don’t know how being shot at could be popular. I went to Viet Nam and returned to being spat upon, rocks thrown at me, and my car vandalized. It is ironic that a Canadian has written and performed a song that so eloquently states the case even for those of us who are forgotten. Thank you Terry Kelly. Perhaps someday, the United States will recognize its lack of responsibility to its own who fought not just an enemy on the battlefield but a hostile public when they returned. At this point in my life, I don’t think there is an apology big enough to cover the loss of respect. Karen Ward Long Sault, ont Canada - Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 19:59:50 (EDT) Terry, You were at my son's school today in Ingleside and he couldn't wait to come home and tell me of your experience at the drug store. He took me to your web site and I heard and watched your video " A Pittance Of Time." Thank you so much. I was raised as an army brat. My father and grandfather both served, 1 in WW1 AND 1 in WW11.I grew up having that respect for the veterans and service personell that so many people seem not to understand. Your song brought tears to my eyes and a feeling to my heart that is hard to explain. Thank you again for taking the time to remember our service personell. Heather Cormier (Steeves) Fort McMurray, AB Canada - Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 15:05:22 (EDT) Hello Terry, It's been a very long time, something like 25yrs since I saw you last and it might have been when you played in North Sydney. I still play your music and have ordered a couple of favorites through this site. I remember the old days back in Halifax at SMU and the gang.I was married to Mike Steeves, not sure if you remember me or not but would love for you to come out west sometime and play to all the Maritimers out here. God Bless you Terry for all the wonderful songs you have given us. Take Care, Heather Joan MacDonald New Glasgow, NS - Saturday, April 10, 2010 at 17:30:30 (EDT) Hi Terry, This is Lindsay's mom, Joan. Just wanted to say hi and that I hope to get out to see you next time you are around this way. Just listened to your song Pittance of Time and, of course, it made me cry (again). You are truly an inspiration! (Linds thinks you're pretty special too LOL.) Take care Joan John QLD Australia - Tuesday, April 06, 2010 at 22:36:38 (EDT) Still great listening to 'Pittance Of Time', mate Thanks Again. John Raymond Small Halifax, NS Canada - Thursday, March 25, 2010 at 17:37:55 (EDT) I need a backing track for Before The Next Teardrop Falls....can you help, I like your singin, Im doin a half hour radio show with CKDU ....lookin for singin opportunities Dawn Cheney Oak Hill, VA USA - Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 09:03:00 (EST) I first heard your song, A Pittance of Time, a few years and it gives a strong message. I have since then played the song several times and each time it gets to me. I have passed the song onto many people and they feel the meassage too, even the children. Several months I decided to look on your site and to my surprize I saw a CD with A Pittance of Time on it! I bought that CD and your Christmas one and listen to them frequently. I look forward to buying more of them for me as well as family(my parents heard the The power of the dream CD and I'll be buying them it for them (and the Christmas one!). Just an interesting fact, my cousin, Colin, was one of your teachers in Halifax; if you liked him then you'll like me but if you didn't then I'm nothing like him ;) Evelyn Robinson Manchester, MD United States - Sunday, February 21, 2010 at 12:19:16 (EST) I read about your song and video in a blog written by a mother of a horribly wounded US Army warrior. As the mother of two sons, both in the US Military, all I can say is - from my heart, thank you. God Bless Kate Cooper Barcelona, Spain - Monday, February 08, 2010 at 17:25:47 (EST) I was just moved to tears by "Pittance of Time"....courtesy of a Scottish cousin and then my brother who referred me to the NME site which explained the background. So apt....I concur that "time" is something that we are all too quick to say we don't have, but if we all too the time to sit and listen, let alone talk to someone, the world just might be a better place. Thank you. Dr George Buck Saint Petersburg, FL USA - Monday, February 08, 2010 at 14:01:52 (EST) As a Veteran of the United States Army's 101 Airborne Division. I have met our friends in the Canada's Military. I would like to express my personnel thanks to you for your Song "A Pittance of Time." It is an honor to share Freedom with our friend to the North. Never let us forget the friendship between us, and the brother and sister hood we formed at home and on Foreign soils. God Bless the United States, Canada and all freedom wanting peoples.. Barbara Messier Johnston, R.I. USA - Friday, January 29, 2010 at 06:52:25 (EST) PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE record another cd. I have all of them and wish there were more. Yours is the only music playing in my car. John Welter Jr Reading, pa USA - Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 12:27:41 (EST) Great job Terry on "A Pittance In Time" my friend Keep up the great work!!!!!! God Bless' John Owner Of OMFH www.operationmailfromhome.50megs.com Lynn Geddie Newnan, GA USA - Friday, January 15, 2010 at 20:36:09 (EST) Dearest Terry, Your beautifully moving song "A Pittance In Time" was sent to me by a veteran as our family has sponsored a young writer's competition to bring awareness to all brave heroes. I am so blessed to have heard it and I want you to know I am thrilled to learn of your message to honor all of our soldiers and veterans. What an inspiration! We are glad to know there are others dedicated to enlightening all people of the sacrifices they have made for our Freedom. Perhaps this message will reach the hearts of all one day. Sincere thanks for sharing the gift of music that you have and for your efforts to awaken all. In their honor, Lynn Geddie,www:americanvetpowerof1.com TED BLAIR OTTAWA, ON CANADA - Thursday, January 14, 2010 at 23:16:53 (EST) Thank You Terry for writing this beautiful ballad for our men and women who fight for freedom for others. More than one tear was in my eye as I listened to it over and over again Mark Curtis Gretna, LA USA - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 23:32:59 (EST) One of my Canadian friends sent me the link to your "Pittance of Time" video. It was very cool. Bless you for honoring all of the men and women who fought for our freedom, both Canadian and American. Harley F, Atwood N. Kingstown, RI USA - Friday, January 08, 2010 at 10:53:28 (EST) Terry; A friend emailed me A Pittnce OF Time. It blew me away. I keep it on my list of favorites and play it first thing each morning. I've not heard the liki of it. I am a non-combat vet of the US 1st Cavalry Dividision and my son is retired Air Force, a vet of vet of four ours of the Middle East. We have much respect for Veterans and your song hit us where we live, deep down. Thank you for it. I will keep on playing it daily to keep my mind focused. Have a happy life and pray for peace all over. Yours very truly Harley Atwood and son Patrick Russell Ross USMC VietNam Vet Ennis, TX USA - Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 13:50:50 (EST) I see that most commenters, though they couldn't put it into words, got the idea of the song. I spent 20 yrs in the USMC, from 1968-1988, and a few months recalled for "Desert Storm." When I came back from VietNam, I was spit on and jeered. When the boys came back from Iraq, in 1991, the country put on parades, welcoming them back. A bit of conscience there? But no closure for me, or my generation of Vets. Now it's Iraqi Freedom. The vets come home and are supported, as I was not. In days gone by, Veteran's Day was a National Holiday, I remember as a kid, going to big parades, picnics. A real day of rememberance. Today, everyone gets off work for Martin Luther King's birthday, but not Veteran's Day. Why? I'll tell you and all whom read this tome. We have forgot as a Nation. And don't care. Your song, "A Pittance of Time", brought tears to my eyes. At least someone out there, understands. It's not the music, nor the words, it's the spirit of the song, the meaning. I can rest my anger now, to know that there is 1 person in the world who understands. And the people whom have made commentary here, they know...understand....the spirit. Maybe in time, Veteran's Day and Rememberance Day will remember me. Semper Fidelis Erica MacIntyre Cardigan, PE Canada - Tuesday, December 29, 2009 at 20:43:15 (EST) Hi Terry, Wishing you a very happy holiday season and all the best in 2010. We hope to see you when you're back on PEI. Always friends, Dwayne and Erica Ambassador Charlie Ray Nashville, TN USA - Tuesday, December 29, 2009 at 15:22:21 (EST) Great site! Thanks for sharing. Ambassador Charlie Ray Penny Anderson Gilgai, NSW Australia - Monday, December 28, 2009 at 05:21:39 (EST) Terry, once again what a legend you are in your song 'A Pittance of Time'. That song needs to be a world wide anthem on ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. I cant tell you how much the song touched me. Thank you for your beautiful song. Words cannot express my gratitude to you for writing such a wonderful song 'A Pittance Of Time". Bonnie Devine Kearns, On Canada - Thursday, December 24, 2009 at 15:09:33 (EST) Terry wishing you a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. Just came into your site to hear Pittance of Time again. My Mom Lottie Woods is still doing well. She was 85 this year. Penny Dempsey Yazzie Las Vegas, NV U.S.A. - Tuesday, December 22, 2009 at 13:18:47 (EST) I am the daughter of SSgt Harvey J Dempsey, Jr, KIA 7/25/45 Kawasaki Japan. I am also the Nevada Regional Coordinator for the American WWII War Orphans Network. A dear friend sent me your song in an email and I cannot tell you how much this song has meant to me. I have told my orphan brothers and sisters about it through our network. Thank you so much for writing it. Few of us were properly thanked for our fathers and our sacrifice. Most forget what we have given and do not understand our pain to this day 64 years later. I needed you to know, at the very least, what your song has done for me. Louis Reynolds Rotonda West, FL 33947 USA - Friday, December 18, 2009 at 15:46:38 (EST) I am a young 62 and proud to know that people like you still exist warming the hearts of millions like me. I spent 20 years in the military and wish the USO could have had more uplifting singers like you perform. Thank You and God Bless You Geoff Smith Hobart, Tasmania Australia - Monday, December 14, 2009 at 04:45:01 (EST) Thank you Terry for BRILLIANT song, all whom have heard and seen the clip at our RSL reckon it is A1 and it is, If you are comming to Australia let us know, thank you again, regards to all up there. Bob and Julie Hesse Canberra, ACT Australia - Saturday, December 12, 2009 at 00:55:11 (EST) Just listened to your beautiful song 'A Pittance of Time' sent to us by a friend. We were both very moved.

Stephanie Stewart Hayward, WI USA - Thursday, December 03, 2009 at 10:12:42 (EST) A friend emailed me the video and I watched it this morning, with tears streaming down my face. Both the song, and the video were gorgeous. As a member of a family who believes in serving (Father was in the navy in WWII, husband was a Marine in the Korean War, 1st husband was in the Army in Vietnam, son who was in the Marines) I thank you for the sentiment. Marilyn Griffis Warsaw, OH United States - Tuesday, December 01, 2009 at 23:51:40 (EST) I play your video/song at our annual Veterans Dinner and it always brings tears to the eyes of all attending. You have put into words and song what we all feel. Thank you so very much. paul j. agostino WiLMINGTON , Mass U.S.A. - Tuesday, December 01, 2009 at 23:06:09 (EST) A wonderfull tribute Thank you nina kelley Ashland, OR United States - Friday, November 27, 2009 at 17:56:59 (EST) hello, someone just directed me to a video on youtube-blessings on your work. who knows, we might be related! all the best Don Taylor Minneapolis, Mn USA - Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 17:48:19 (EST) My Dad and uncle served in ww2, my brother and I during Vietnam. After listening to A Pittance of Time I had to write to say what a beautiful and meaningful song it is. Most take the day as just a day off from work. They should flood the radio stations with the song on that day, maybe more would remember. Thank you. Steve Whynot, SK1, USNR-Ret Southborough, MA USA - Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 12:05:01 (EST) Simply - THANK YOU - So well put. So meaningful. Thank You to our Canadadian friends.

CAPT Jim Mehrmann, USN (Ret) Houston, TX USA - Friday, November 20, 2009 at 16:04:25 (EST) Immensely enjoy this song - the melody is so comforting and relaxing, and the words speak to the truth.

I am a 30 year Navy career service man, having served 3 tours in Vietnam as an enlisted man, flown combat missions in Libya, Lebanon and Desert Storm All give some, but some give all. To my Canadian "Band of Brothers", I say this: "Seep Expertus, Semper Fidelis, Fratres Aeterni" - "Often Tested, Always Faithful, Brothers Forever". Terry, blessings to you and yours.

I really enjoyed it and am so happy to be introduced to you and your music. I look forward to downloading & hearing more ...Thankyou Paul Bamford Coffs Harbour, NSW Australia - Monday, November 16, 2009 at 16:19:59 (EST) "A Pittance of Time", This is a very powerful song and brought tears to my eyes on hearing it for the first time on Rememberance Day here in Australia 2009(and still does).It should be played and explained to all school children. I first saw it on Youtube and had to email it to my friends, it has such a strong message to all.Congratulations for reaching out and touching so many people. Charles Bacon Webster, SD USA - Monday, November 16, 2009 at 13:38:53 (EST) I would like to say that "A Pittance of Time" is such a wonderful song. Myself and all three of my children are Veterans of the War in Iraq, and when I heard this song on Veteran's Day it brought tears to my eyes. And I have it saved and play it routinely, and every time those same tears reappear. I intend to find Terry's music on a CD so I can hear the rest of his fine work. PAUL H. SUSCINSKI NORTON, OHIO USA - Monday, November 16, 2009 at 06:45:23 (EST) The song is one of the greatest songs for Veterans that I have ever heard. The words and your delivery are excellent. It made my Veterans Day. I thank you. A USMC, Vietnam. 100% disabled veteran. Clyde Scherer Rocklin, CA USA - Monday, November 16, 2009 at 00:45:39 (EST) Your song brought tears to my old eyes. Our younger generation does not understand the sacrafice that their uncles made since WW2, Korea, Vietnam, and the gulf wars. Maybe this song will educate them. Tammy Blair, NE United States - Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 21:27:17 (EST) Absolutely beautiful. God bless you. Dan Serna Winona Lake, In USA - Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 18:39:18 (EST) Your music is great . I am a Veteran and your song "A PITTANCE OF TIME " struck home . You wrote the most perfect song! I THANK YOU !! Brent Harrison Franklin Centre, Quebec - Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 10:38:55 (EST) Thank you for your excellent song and touching video. It's a fine tribute! The J. Schaffs Atascadero, CA U.S.A. - Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 02:21:06 (EST) Very touching& thought provoking! We think this should be a main-stream video for all to see! Your music & the video was well done! 5 Stars! LORD Bless You! Susan McGregor ON Canada - Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 13:35:32 (EST) God Bless you Terry! Your tribute to all vets is the most moving and beautiful I have ever heard. Niels Heffernan NSW Australia - Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 07:25:01 (EST) A Pittance of Time says it all. As an Army Veteran, I always observe Remembrance Day, and am always disappointed by those who think their paltry wants are more important than 2 mere minutes of silence. I shall bring as many people's attention as possible to your website. I hope a few get the message. David Saqui Coquitlam, BC Canada - Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 06:59:58 (EST) Wow, you're hit song really moved me. Glad I discovered you. Don't stop writting. G. L. White, Master Sgt, US Army (RetP) Fredericksburg, VA USA - Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 02:15:24 (EST) Many thanks for this great tribute to our fallen brothers. From an American brother-in-arms. Jack D. Harcourt Guelph, Ontario Canada - Friday, November 13, 2009 at 16:49:54 (EST) God Bles ya! Terry my boy ! Meri Jo Hall Marysville, PA USA - Friday, November 13, 2009 at 15:45:04 (EST) Mr. Kelly: Thank you, so very much, as words just don't do justice to your song A Pittance of Time. You so eloquently reminded so many of us exactly what us Human Beings have forgotten. The WWII generation was and will always be the best generation that God created because of their selflessness and bravery during war time and peace time. Your song brought me to tears as my father, a U.S. Marine, was in the World to end all Wars, WWII, and died in 1995 without the military honors he so richly deserved for serving his nation due to lack of people to give him that honor. I have three older brothers who are retired Air Force Veterans during Vietnam, as well as a brother who is a retired police officer here in the U.S. My husband served in the U.S. Army during peacetime, and your song also moved him to tears. Thank you. Those words do not seem sufficient to me, but they are the best I can do. You truly are a wonderful song writer and singer. Please continue to have a wo! nderful career, and may God bless you on a daily basis in honor of those very veterans who you remember. armstrong calgary, AB canada - Friday, November 13, 2009 at 14:53:12 (EST) That song was a "conscience check" and a reminder why we have two minutes of silence. Thank you for the reminder! Debra & Jim Cleckler Temple, GA USA - Friday, November 13, 2009 at 13:49:53 (EST) I just received and viewed your Pittance of Time youtube video. It is great! We sponsor an annual dance (Veterans' Appreciation Dance) in our home town (Villa Rica, GA) to raise money for Veterans, recognizing each branch and their families. We would love to be able to use your "Pittance of Time" next year with your permission to do so. We will purchase your CD for your music but how could we get a good copy of the video? Thanks! Deb& Jim Cleckler Bob Becker Fairbanks, AK USA - Friday, November 13, 2009 at 11:36:06 (EST) Mr Kelly, I received a link to Pittance in Time. It literally grabbed my heart and put a huge lump in my throat. It is people like you that makes service to our great nation worth while. Thank you for a song and video that I will treasure. God Bless you and our Nation. Lisa Murrells Inlet, SC USA - Friday, November 13, 2009 at 06:52:01 (EST) Saw your video for the first time today, and it brought me to tears. Thank you for making such a beautiful tribute! Ed Hildebrandt, USAF, Ret Lakewood, Wa USA - Friday, November 13, 2009 at 00:45:46 (EST) Very touching. So appropriate especially now with so many of our young men and women being killed or so badly injured. They truly deserve our appreciation in A Pittance of Time. Monty Alger, Ohio USA - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 23:41:28 (EST) Thank You for sharing this AWESOME SONG & VIDIO. And God Bless !!!!! Tom Nolan Mahopac, NY US - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 23:23:53 (EST) Terry - I just heard A Pittance of Time and saw the video on YouTube - it brought tears to my eyes.

Just heard your song/video yesterday and WOW! A Pittance of Time, is super...you should be on Lenno, Hannity, and so on. Thanks Tony Marino Fredericksburg, Va USA - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 19:38:07 (EST) Dear Terry, Today, a fellow retired veteran played me a copy of "A Pittance of Time". I have never been so moved. I am currently working on a project to honor veterans where I work and will open my program by showing your video, it is so inspirational. God Bless You! Laura E Washington, DC USA - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 18:59:18 (EST) Terry - Defect to the US - PLEASE! We need more kindred spirits like yourself to remind those who have forgotten here of what they take for granted each and every day. A "Pittance of Time" is a testament to those who have fought before and to those who will choose to battle in the future in the name of freedom and liberty for all. Thank you Terry - no more eloquent nor apropos words could describe what this "should" mean to us all always. Peter O'Dowd Melbourne, Vic Australia - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 17:34:22 (EST) Thank you Terry for a great song & video that finally made my kids understand just what they have and why (15, 12,10 & 7). Only yesterday (11th) I experienced the exact actions that your song portrayed, wish I had this song to give them, maybe he would have understood what freedom all means. Thank you Sam Kamler La Puente, Ca USA - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 15:46:29 (EST) Thank you. I play "Pittance of Time" for all my 7th grade students. We love it. And cry Rob Madden Elizabeth City, NC USA - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 14:50:23 (EST) Dear Terry, Wow, a preacher friend of mine sent me your video, and I was blown away! My father was in the Air Force for 20 years. I lived on bases all over the world. I got to see Bob Hope's USO Show three times during the Vietnam War. (from a kid's perspective) Both of my sons wanted to follow in the patriotic footsteps of those they knew and loved. Both became Marines, and couldn't have a more proud Dad & Mom! They served their time, and are the 'best' of the best! Thanks you for writing and singing this song. This is such a great inspiration in these 'troubling time'. God bless You! Sincerely, ParsonRob (Rev. Rob Madden) Chelsea Ougham Belfast, County Down Northern Ireland - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 14:48:09 (EST) Your music is beautiful. 'Lest We Forget those who died for us' RIP Great Granda x Dave O'Neill Hendrson, NV USA - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 13:40:08 (EST) No matter how may times I view your video it still chokes me up, thanks you for reminding us all of the sacrifices made by those who defended and still defend our freedoms. Patrick M. Farnon, Sr. Norman, OK USA - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 12:44:16 (EST) Thanks Terry... I am a Vietnam Vet and listen to this song every Remembrance Day (Veteran's Day down here).

Nicole Kingston, ON Canada - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 11:27:12 (EST) Wow...what a truly amazing song!!! I had the pleasure of viewing this video at the Rememberance Day assembly at my daughters school yesterday. I sat there crying listening to such an wonderful message. You have a lovely voice! After school we googled this song to allow my mother in law and other daughter the privilage of viewing it as well. My daughter was in tears. Thank you so much for writing this song!!!! GOD BLESS Norma Hamilton, ON Canada - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 11:23:59 (EST) just found your video (this year) on Nov 12. I had seen it previously and loved it...very moving. So many people are just like that young man; they need to be taught in school to respect our veterans. We used to hold ceremonies outside when I went to school, but I don't think that is done any more. karleen Iron Bridge, ON Canada - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 10:15:17 (EST) Just wanted to let you know how moved I was by your video A Pittance Of Time. It is a fitting and well done tribute that gets the point accross. I think it should be aired nationally on TV , November 10th as a reminder to everyone. I am thinking of passing it along to our MPP with that suggestion. It was passed along to as many people as I have in my email address book thank you karleen Kathy Powers Peterborough, On Canada - Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 09:34:04 (EST) Terry, your video is so powerful, I watched it at work and it brought me to tears. Thank you so much for inspiring the youth today to take notice of our veterans. Thank you Kathy Powers Harry Sullivan Rockhampton, Qld Australia - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 23:24:27 (EST) Thank you very much for such a moving and beautifull song. Sharon Breen Austin, TX USA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 22:38:23 (EST) Dear Mr. Kelly, I just watched your "Pittance of Time" and was very moved. We just had a terrible shooting at Fort Hood here in central Texas, and your song really was appreciated. My husband is from Ireland and he had me come in to listen. Since I am the big Irish Music fan in the family he thought I would recognize your voice. I didn't, but I ordered a CD and will recognize you in the future. I look forward to hearing more of your music. Sincerely, Sharon Breen Jim Westminster, MD USA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 22:25:27 (EST) I had your web site forwarded to me by a shipmate of mine while in the U.S. Navy, he said I had to hear "A Pittance of Time" and read the story behind it. As a career serviceman and for all the service men and service women of the world, past, present and future "Thank You' and may God Bless you and yours. David McDougall Newmarket, ON Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 22:01:08 (EST) A beautiful song Terry!! Both my grandfather's fought in both world wars for Canada, and my namesake grandfather was shot in the first world war. He survived and re-enlisted to fight again. The courage of the young men and women from those days to the present days is something to be thankful for. Your song helps us to realize the freedom we enjoy today is due to their strength and sacrifices. Cara Middleton London, ON Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 21:09:10 (EST) What a wonderful song to remember those that have fought, and either fallen or survived. I first saw your video at a Remembrance Day service held where I work which is a Defense manufacturing company in Canada. It really hit home. I have past your website on to many family and friends, so that they too, can be reminded of how important this day still is and will be many, many years from now. Penny Stewart Chesterville, ont Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 20:39:18 (EST) I would just like to say that I just heard your song...'A Pittance of time' few days ago and I'm with so many others who cry while listening to it. The video for it is scary for it is so real how we can be so ignorant in this day and age, an never stop and be grateful for everything that those heroes did for our country. I think this song should be played more than it has been, and it really should be a staple in remembrance day ceremonies nationwide..it is great:) kate steidl Edmonton, AB CANADA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 20:30:01 (EST) Thank you so much for making the song "Pittance of Time". My dad just died on Monday and he was a vet. This song was the first time I cried. It is a beautiful song. I played it over and over. Palestar Santa Fe, NM USA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 19:08:21 (EST) Your beautiful words and video - simply put - tell it how it is - reminding us that we should never forget the men and women who have put their lives on the line for us. Thank you always for your words and the music and the caring... Love and light...Palestar in Santa Fe, NM Laurel-Leigh Arsenault Dartmouth, NS Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 17:56:14 (EST) I have received "A Pittance of Time" on facebook, and emails over the last couple of years. It is an amazing song, it is a very powerful song. Thank you very much for taking the time to write this song and remind us what is truely important. Jim Martin Kitchener, Ont Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 17:51:41 (EST) It is the way of fate that the right person comes along at just the right time and accomplishes something miraculous and enduring. Terry, you will probably never fully know, until you face your creator, just how deeply you have touched the lives of so many. Truly you have created something so beautiful; a tribute so wonderful that it will stand in generations to come. Obviously it came from the heart, a fitting tribute that is expressed so amazingly perfect. There will never be words enough. Susan Stapley Stouffville, On - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 17:40:04 (EST) WOW!! What an awesome song/video of "Pittance of Time!" I can't wait to share it with my Grade 7 & 8 students who are in the midst of a Holocaust Unit with me entitled "These Shoes Could Be Yours" [Power of One....Empowerment of Many]. I am hoping to be a school administrator some day and I will endeavour to share this song every year as part of Remembrance Day Ceremonies....discovered too late this year...but will share it with students anyway!!! John Samways Pointe-Claire, Qc Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 17:31:43 (EST) Someone passed on your "A PITTANCE OF TIME". That video is really moving. A tip of the hat to you. Janet Chalmers Mission, BC Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 16:58:55 (EST) Thank you Terry for your wonderful song. It was shown at the Remembrance Day Ceremony at the school where I work. Very powerful indeed to see 100's of teenagers sit there in silence when it was over. My son is in Afghanistan among 1000's of other brave men and women. My prayers to them all, and their families, and to the families of the 133 Canadians killed over there. Thank you again for your tribute. Ruth Graves halifax, ns canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 16:50:52 (EST) I love all your music..All the best to you and your family... Rebecca Hines Montreal, PQ Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 16:39:03 (EST) Hi Terry, I just heard you interviewed on CJAD by Ric Petersen. You were in my grade 12 english class QEH 1973, there was a red haired boy from the CNIB school as well, what was his name? I met you a couple years later at Union station in Toronto, we were waiting for a train. I heard you competed in downhill skiing, Kathy Kerr from DHS was your partner. Great hearing you on the radio, keep in touch! Kelli TX USA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 16:20:55 (EST) I have the privilege of having had 2 grandfathers who fel the calling to serve thier coutnry. My grandfather was a WWII Army veteran who was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge. My other gradnfather was a US Naval Academy fighter pilot who was stationed on teh USS Boxer when he was shot down over N. Korea. His body was never found. I am indescrbalbly proud of thier service to this country & the sacrifce they made so that I & otehrs could live FREE. "A Pittance of Time" landed in my inbox on this Veterans Day & I could not possibly think of a better way to pay tribute to 2 men whom I greatly admire, as well as to the rest of the soldiers who risk thier lives every day to protect our freddom. May God continue to bless you with your beuatiful gift & Thanks for sharing that gift with the rest of us. Marcus Davies Saskatoon, SK - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 15:50:39 (EST) I can't believe I only discovered "Pittance" today. What a beautiful and poignant song. I have no idea what happened in the incident that inspired the song, but it is wonderful that in the video the dad "gets it". This song is so well-written on so many levels: acknowledging the sacrifice at home as well as overseas and bringing the message forward to our peacekeepers of today. A brilliant composition that went beyond the lump in the throat and straight to the tear in the eye. Thanks so much for it. I have posted the video on just about everyone's Facebook page today. Martee Storms North Bay, ON Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 14:58:44 (EST) We at Nipissing University had the honour of having Major James Peck and Private Jessie Larochelle to conduct the Rememberance Day Ceremony. During the ceremony they played your "Pittance of Time" video. What a very touching, heart felt video. The lyrics were absolutely beautiful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Vickie Tanner Spokane, WA USA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 14:46:25 (EST) I just heard and saw "Pittance of Time". All I can say is that it is absolutely fabulous! Everyone needs to see this and reflect on it, not just on Veteran's Day, but always. You have such a gift. Thank you for sharing it with us through your music and videos. Tracey Anderton Abbotsford, BC Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 14:41:25 (EST) Terry, there really is nothing else I can say except "God Bless you" You have been blessed with a true talent and an insight that many are lacking in this day and age. My grandfather served in World War I and my Dad served in World War II - my brothers and sister and I are forever grateful that because of their sacrifices we didn't have to serve in another World War... From the bottom of our hearts Terry - thank you for this song!!! Nick Olson Spanaway, WA USA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 13:49:00 (EST) Thanks for the song, video and backstory. I'm a veteran, as was my father. This day means a lot to us. It's nearly 11am in this time zone, so I'll take my own 2 minutes of time to reflect. Veteran's Day / Remembrance Day 11/11/2009 11am PST Michael Keefe Dartmouth, NS Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 13:47:54 (EST) I want to thank you so much for your song Pittance of Time and the video for it. I think today we some times take for granted the freedom we have, forgetting the lives that were lost and the blood spilled. I'm glad that you were able to hold your tongue that day and channel your anger into this song. Thank you and God Bless you, our fallen and our soldiers. Karen Young SURREY, BC Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 13:44:41 (EST) Great song, even greater meaning. Cheryl Kaye Tardif Edmonton, AB Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 13:37:33 (EST) A Pittance of Time is inspiring, heart wrenching and timely, and it should be played in every school and store across Canada on Remembrance Day. Our younger generations need to understand what these men and women have done with their selfless acts and bravery. Our heroes must always be remembered and thanked with that 2 minutes on one day of the year. Truthfully, we should be thanking them every day. Terry, I wish you the very best in success always. Cheryl Kaye Tardif, Canadian author http://www.cherylktardif.com Bill Young Kansas City, MO USA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 13:37:01 (EST) Re: A Pittance of Time Thanks for reminding us all to pause and remember all our fellow veterans from all wars and from all countries on this day. A great song and well written. Scott van Leenen Japan - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 13:33:19 (EST) Thank you. Very moving, powerful reminder why we must not forget. It is easy to forget and take for granted the freedoms we enjoy every day. Thank you for reminding me. Terry Tibble Calgary, Alta Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 13:32:27 (EST) Hi Terry: I was sent your song "Pittance of Time" via e-mail to my office back in 2004. I have passed it on too many of my friends and co-workers. The song has a very special meaning to me as my grandfather fought at Vimy Ridge and had both of his legs partially blown off, and my father flew Lancaster bombers out of Gibraltar. I play the song more than just on November 11th. I get choked up and tear up everytime I play it. Thank you for such a great song and a reminder of why we live free today. Cheers Will Lew Bay Area, CA USA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 11:42:50 (EST) I am seeing your work for the first time. Many thanks on 11/11/09. From a US Army Vietnam Vet. Teresa Tekoa, WA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 11:39:04 (EST) I really enjoyed your song, Pittance,thank you so much for that and all you have done for our troops, Canadian and American. Debra Macleod, B.A., LL.B. Calgary, AB CAN - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 11:12:19 (EST) Thank you for writing your beautiful and important song, "A Pittance of Time." I know it is being played in many schools across Canada on Remembrance Day...my son actually cried when he saw it (so did I). It is a wonderful way to teach our kids respect, gratitude, humility, and remembrance. You should be proud of a song that I strongly believe will become an institution at Remembrance Day. Donald L. Wolf Wheaton, IL USA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 10:50:28 (EST) THANKS FOR ALL OUR FREEDOM THAT YOU PROTECTED. Christina N Toronto, On CANADA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 10:38:16 (EST) I saw/heard this song for the first time today at my daughters school. Thank you, it is beautiful. I used to go to a warehouse sale on Remembrance day and was always impressed that they stopped everything for the minute of silence. I think this video remind people of the importance to stop and be thankful for all we have in this great country. As a first generation Canadian I am very thankful for the vetrans that liberated my relatives. barb yarmouth, ns canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 10:24:26 (EST) You played at my high school many years ago... back in 91 or 92... Always thought you were totally amazing. Your music still touches me today!! Michael MacDonald Hamilton, Ont CANADA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 10:02:03 (EST) Thank you. Teri-Lynn Harlick CHATHAM, ON CANADA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 09:18:35 (EST) Thanks for writing such a heartfelt & beautiful song! I listen to it often and always on Rememberance Day. Both of my Grandfathers fought in the wars and I cannot think of a more respectful way to remember them than through the words of your unforgettable song! Keep up your good work as it makes it easier for some of us to keep up our faith! I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful words. God Bless you and yours and keep you SAFE! Teri-Lynn Harlick sylvia cambridge, ontario - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 09:00:43 (EST) Thank you for sharing your moving song 'Pittance of Time' Mrs. Cynthia Fort Belleville, Ontario Canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 07:44:22 (EST) We purchased "A Pittance of Time" for our school library so that it can be shown year after year. I also personally am donating a copy to our municipal library as the price which includes public performance rights (PPR) makes it a very affordable way in which to honour both Terry and the men and women who pay the ultimate sacrifice with their lives or in the time they spend away from their families. May we all take time out to stop and remember just how good we have it in Canada, and never forget the price that was paid for those privileges and freedoms. cheryl winnipeg, man canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 02:45:03 (EST) Terry I wanted to say thank you for this beautiful song which shows the true courage of all the men and women who went to war to try to save our country. My Dad was in ww2 he was a gunner, he never spoke about any of his experiences there, I wish he were alive today so I could tell him how proud I am of him. He had a hard life and must have had many good and bad experiences from the war. I am so grateful to you for writing this song and making this video so the world may know the experiences/realities that men and women/families all experienced during that time. I want our children to also understand life is precious and sometimes hardships arise but everyone must do what we can to contribute to help make our world a peaceful place to live in. I pray that everyone will find peace in their lifetime and please everyone remember on Remembrance Day and everyday. cheryl winnipeg, man canada - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 02:13:59 (EST) Let us all remember all those brave men and women who went to war to fight for our freedoms today. I feel for so many of the people who were affected by war. Please remember them today and always and help to make our world a peaceful one. Thanks for this song Terry! Cheryl -Winnipeg, Manitoba Walter Busse St. Paul, Mn USA - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 00:56:23 (EST) A Pittance of Time. Heard it for the first time today, will remember it forever. Katie Lijewski Casper, WY USA - Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 23:16:17 (EST) What a powerful song. It is moving and well written with lots of emotion. It asks so little of us compared to those who have served and are serving in this terrible time of wars. Treva Traub calgary, Alberta - Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 22:48:33 (EST) This is a very powerful song, and I have been deeply moved since finding this song. my heartfelt thanx for your music Heather Carpenter Dartmouth, NS Canada - Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 22:00:51 (EST) I have been Terry's biggest fan for close to 20 years.

Aussiejock Melbourne, Victoria Australia - Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 21:47:36 (EST) Terry a wonderful piece of Music with lots of thoughts for those that we have lost to make us free, if only all People thought this way, what a wonderful World it would be, Thank You. Rhonda Ross Sudbury, ON Canada - Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 21:00:19 (EST) For the last two years someone has sent your video/song to my hotmail address. Both of those years I have listened to and watched the video daily and wept for those lost who made me free. I thank those who send it to me and to you for writing it so that I may truly remember and be grateful. It's an incredibly well written song. I will always have a grateful heart for what those men and women did for me and my loved ones. Thanks, Rhonda Sarah P. Ajax, On Canada - Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 16:17:03 (EST) my teache first told me about this song. Ive listened to it numorous times in both french and english an it still makes me cry. Dean McCarthy Edmonton, Ab Canada - Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 15:52:04 (EST) Today, Nov 10, 2009 your video "A Pittance of Time" was shown at Safety Meetings throughout a work site to hundreds of Trades men and women. Not a word was spoken during or after it was played as people quietly stood up and left each meeting. Some later confided in me that it brought a tear to their eye. Others who are involved in or have parents involved in Remembrance Day Celebrations have asked who you were and if they could have the link for your song. Thank you for such a wonderful gift. Dean Wendy Bartley Tweed Heads, 2486 Australia - Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 15:29:04 (EST) Lest We Forget. Amen... Lorna Tamura Calgary, AB Canada - Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 15:12:11 (EST) Just want to say thank you for your heartfelt tribute of A Pittance of Time. I'm brought to tears every time I hear it. This year our aviation company has downsized tremendously as usually on the 11th we have one of our employee's play the bugle while we observe the 2 min of silence. Since that is not possible this year, my plan is to play your song and then pay tribute to pay my respects to our heroes. Thank you for your beautiful song for our soldiers.

My late father served in the second World War and Remembrance Day has and is a very special day for me and my family. My son was born on Nov. 11th, 1970 and it was sure a great day for his granddad. When my dad received the wonderful news , he was celebrating at the Legion in Cheticamp so I imagine there were a few more beers consumed after the message was delivered. I am going to send the video song " A pittance in Time" to all my friends across the border so they can purchase it . Thanks for all your beautiful music which my family enjoy to the fullest.

Cheers mate Davo Dave Robertson Toronto, ON Canada - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 21:56:16 (EDT) "A Pittance In Time" was my first introduction to Terry a few years ago. The first few times I watched/listened to it were very emotional for me. It is an incredibly wonderful way to pay tribute to our troops, and a strong message to some who might otherwise ' forget'. For some years now, I have taken the liberty to e-mail the link to the video to all of my family, friends and acquaintances on Nov.10 to remind them of the importance of the next day...Nov 11. Thank You Terry. Jessica McCarthy Spaniard's Bay , NL Canada - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 17:29:04 (EDT) Hello Mr. Kelly I would just like to say that you are my Idol( I don't mean like a God or something).

Signed, Jessica McCarthy Claudette Saint John, NB/Canada - Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 10:18:06 (EDT) Mr. Kelly, I was at a music concert at Saint Joachim's last eve and was moved by your contribution of voice and entertainmet. This is the second time I have had the chance to hear your wonderful storytelling in song. This morning I listened to the 2 cd's I prurchased and am thrilled with the Christmas one.

I really enjoyed the show. It was a pleasure being with another person from St. John's, although over the years of traveling to PEI, I feel so much at home there also. Take care. Hope to see you perform home sometime soon. Cyril Wharton Newmarket, Ontario Canada - Sunday, September 20, 2009 at 11:35:25 (EDT) One brief chance encounter at a private function has caused me to re-focus, take a look inwards as well as reflect on the past and look to the future with eager anticipation, despite the current difficulties life has been throwing my way. To see Terry, who has had life deal him some very harsh cards and the energy, attitude and gusto with which he embraces his life, the positive energy he radiates, makes me realize even more how blessed I have been. Having the support of his family and siblings gives perspective to the importance of true caring and family interaction in this age of individual greedy consumerism. May you Terry , Tony and your families continue to be blessed with the important treasures and riches in this life you possess, that money, power, position or status have never, can never, or will ever be able to buy. Regards, Cyril Padi Worsfold Calgary, AB Canada - Saturday, September 19, 2009 at 13:02:50 (EDT) Terry, your song "A Pittence of Time" is so wonderful...I cannot watch it, and not shead a tear.

I must admit, I'd never heard it before. What a wonderful, beautiful song. I was quite moved by it, enough so, that I recommend to all my friends to check it out. I've always had a profound respect for those who've fought and died for the cause of freedom, and very little tolerance for those who abuse that freedom and show little or no respect for them. I'm a new fan and I look forward to hearing more of your music. Katie B. Mississauga, ON Canada - Thursday, June 04, 2009 at 17:21:20 (EDT) My friend told me about the song "Pittance of Time" while in history class, and I can say that it has truley moved me. Tears.

Our son (Fiddle Kid on You Tube) is a Fiddle player and just loves this song ever since he saw it at school. I'm not surprised to hear where your from...it's a piece of heaven the Canadian east coast. Special people live in this special part of the world! We loved PEI when we lived there and Dartmouth is very familiar to us! Our son keeps saying he would love to meet you! I'm sure you know and have been told, heros are found everywhere. Thank you for being a hero in my sons eyes. You are helping to teach the true important things in this world! RESPECT, HONOR, COMPASSION and being grateful! Thank you Terry Kelly!

Just dropping in to say hello. My son Brandon is doing a heritage project and decided to choose you as his subject. The project turned out really well.

Our kids (pre-teens) know the song word for word and more importantly they understand the meaning of it and respect what it stands for. Wouldn't it be a perfect world if this song could be sent around the world and be heard by all and everyone got the message? What a shame it is not a perfect world, having said that Terry you have made a start so I guess its baby steps for now. GOD BLESS you all, THANK YOU and STAY SAFE... alan logan trenton, ns canada - Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 20:33:08 (EDT) hi buddy i saw you in trenton at one time after i find out my eyes where bad. i think you are good i hope to see you one more time soon Mike O' Stanely Bridge, PE Canada - Monday, March 23, 2009 at 20:35:43 (EDT) Terry - You're a true CDN Hero who knows how to tell it like it is. Thansk for sharing your gift... I have in turn shared it with so many others abroad. Rich Stranger SANTA BARBARA, CA 93102 - Monday, March 23, 2009 at 18:15:46 (EDT) I was redirected here from a search after reading a comment on YouTube about Billy Joel's "DownEaster' Alexa) with someone referring that it "reminded" them of Stan Rogers II "The Jeanie C" and I wanted to see if I could "hear it"...and i liked the "sea shanty" that I was able to hear... Thanx --Rich Tom Clark Westfield, NJ 07090 - Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 17:15:42 (EDT) Terry, I really enjoy you music/video Pittance of Time. I am a vet and it left me with a scratchy throat. THANK YOU Dale A. Wilkerson Sr. South , Ky USA - Monday, March 16, 2009 at 09:33:24 (EDT) Very touching !!!!! Steve Warrnambool, Vic Australia - Sunday, March 01, 2009 at 06:30:48 (EST) Like many previous, I received the "Pittance of Time" via email. As a Copper of 31 years and having been at many Dawn serices for Anzac Day and Remembrance Day this song just sums it all up for me. Having been in a situation where I had to remove an ignorant idiot on such a day and also having to restrain myself and also protect the idiot from others, this song definetly struck the right cord for me. Just sensational Terry and also having a Canada connection in our family in Calgary and through WWII, what can I say - Beautiful song Craig Haggerty Nanango, QLD Australia - Saturday, February 28, 2009 at 05:14:50 (EST) Dear Terry, Like so many others...I received this via email..."Pittence of time" still makes me cry with a heart felt passion from deep down. Twenty five years I served in the Royal Australian Navy and still serve in the Reserves. Served in the Gulf 1991 and in East Timor 1999. What can I say....BRILLIANT... I have lost two good mates over the years through their service and remember them always....Grandfathers and Uncles from WW2 and their service and committment to Australia. I love your work and will always keep a keen ear out for more. All my best Craig Sandy Mellish Truro, Nova Scotia Canada - Sunday, February 15, 2009 at 12:33:43 (EST) Dear Terry Kelly, As the mother of one of Canada's fallen soldiers I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your gifts of time talent. Your song Pittance of Time was a message long over due. As a country we were becoming far too complacent with regard to our serving military personnel and our venterans. My son WO Frank Robert Mellish was number 30 of the fallen in Afghanistan and sadly we are now at 108. I never thought for one moment that this would be taking place in our country during peace time. My life has changed forever. I have lost my only son - my beautiful boy. Your song has however, brought food for thought for the young people of Canada as it has for the rest of us. Its' timely release was almost God inspired I feel. When we remember on November 11th each year your voice too echoes across this great nation as we bow our heads to give thanks for the sacrifice of lives given so selflessly so others may live better lives. We will also give thanks for your gifts and the selfless manner in which you share them with the world. Finally, I want to say that I was present at the young Kevin Megeney funeral in Stellarton where you performed your song and I so wanted to thank you but I was so overwhelmed by my own grief and it was such an emotional time for everyone that I could scarcely find the courage to meet this brave soldiers family. From the bottom of my broken heart, thank you Terry Kelly. I will always remember you! Sandy Mellish Mother of a Canadian Hero WO Frank Robert Mellish KIA September 03 2006 CAPT James W. Mehrmann, USN (Ret) Houston, TX USA - Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 13:21:44 (EST) A friend, whose son is currently serving in Iraq, e-mailed me your video link. The song summarizes well what both our countries owe to the veterans, and those currently serving, who so unselfishly place their lives in harm's way so we may walk in freedom and peace. I had the privilege to fly with the CAF 412 Sqdrn. on an exchange tour, and to later serve with a number of CAF personnel at NATO and who still remain my friends today. Thank you for your song and honor to remember those to whom owe so much to. Blessings and God's continued favor over you. Jim Mehrmann, callsign "Pappy" CAPT USN (Ret) doug Brend southend on sea e, essex united kingdom - Friday, February 06, 2009 at 20:55:38 (EST) i came upon your " pitance of time " in an email .i think its wonderful and so humbling , and many lessons are in there about respect, not many pieces of music can draw me to tears , but yours does , it shows the lack of respect that runs all the way through society now ............. MSG Terry L. Montang Baumholder , Germany - Thursday, February 05, 2009 at 07:59:29 (EST) Dear Sir, To start with I am sorry for my spelling as I do not spell well at all. I have heard and seen you video "A Pittance of Time" and I wanted to thank you for it. I have played it many time over the past two or three years and when I do, it always reminds me of WHY I am still a soldier today. I wish with all my heart that I was better with words so that I could tell how the song has touched me and how much you have given this old soldier. I will leave you with this. "Thank you" as you have helped this old soldier keep on keeping on...... MSG Terry L. Montang Davyn Simpson brisbane , QLD Australia - Monday, February 02, 2009 at 07:20:54 (EST) Terry. there may have been times when you thought "who would listen to this". This is brilliant to say the least. I do a lot of travelling and always try to be at a place of rememberence on that special day. I play your recording when ever I think of it . I think it should be part of international rememberence. Great work mate ,great work. I will be saving this one. this doesnt need a day, it holds its own. Stephen Berkebile Wichita, Ks USA - Wednesday, January 28, 2009 at 12:06:35 (EST) What a blessing, what a commemeration of all those who have given of themselves, some their all, in defence of freedom. Particularly today as we see the dark cloud of hate decending on the earth again, we need to be thankful. Thank you for your fine work. Linda White Dartmouth, NS Canada - Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 21:36:47 (EST) Hi Terry, It was good to see you on Breakfast Television the other day. I remember when you played at the SeaBreaze Tavern in Eastern Passage. Those were the days. I love the story behind "A Pittance of Time". I am going to send it to all my friends for them to read. Ann Lambert Sarnia , Ont - Monday, January 19, 2009 at 09:31:18 (EST) Great Cd what a singer!!! being from N.S. i know good music when i hear it......... keep your music going Terry Darrell McDonald St.John's, NL Canada - Sunday, January 18, 2009 at 00:35:05 (EST) Pittance of time is a great song Thanks Terry Doug MacDonald Kandahar, Afghanistan - Saturday, January 17, 2009 at 14:41:05 (EST) Hello Terry I've always been a fan of Pittance of Time since it was released and is an inspiration to all, especially those who serve. I am now serving in Afghanistan working in a Multi National HQ and have showed this video to all my co-workers and the response is overwhelming. I wish I had packed the CD to come over with, but will pack it up for when I come back from tour. I would love to book you for over here, but will have to wait until I get home and hopefully link up with you around the Maritimes. Take Care, and thanks for the support through the years. Robin Noye Woodcroft, SA Australia - Saturday, January 17, 2009 at 02:44:04 (EST) G'day Terry Firstly I want to congratulate you on your song A Pittance of Time. A close friend sent me a copy just after Rememberance Day. Although I am not a veteran, I am an associate member of the Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club - South Australian Chapter. Each February we conduct a memorial motorcyle run and visit the graves of the brothers who have past. As the club unofficial photographer I took a swag of photograps of the 2008 run. Although without your permission (sorry) I put your song to a slide show these photographs. I presented this to the vets at a recent meeting. I must tell you there was more than one vet with a tear in his eyes. I am the grandson of a WW1 veteran of the Somme, the son of a WW2 veteran and the Uncle of nephews who seen service in the Middle East and Timor. So once again I thank you for showing the respect all our veterans from all conflicts deserve. Cheers Rob Rebecca Halifax, NS Canada - Tuesday, January 13, 2009 at 18:35:26 (EST) Terry, you are amazing. today you performed at my school you gave a great speach today at my school, and sang amazing songs. your a true insperation, and i support everything you do. thanks for being such a good sport. godbless.
