    Today I am blessed to share connection with Jp Cooper a singer songwriter who always gives us everything in his heart, but only on the understanding it may hurt...just a little.

    In this episode I learn that JP, is the friend my soul never knew it needed and I am grateful to have met him. Without doubt, this is an artist for the ages, a unique human whose ability to understand the "beauty of tragedy" allows him to touch us with compassion from the moment his un-parralleled voice soars into our hearts.
