The AI songs and video were created to highlight and preserve the life and work of Dr. Anthony L. Manning.  They were not created to generate profit or compete with live musicians.  The music part of the project would not have been possible without AI as there are no funds available to hire a musician to develop music based on Dr. Manning's poems.  If you like a song, hate a song, or have comments about a song, please leave comments on the YouTube video for the song.  The project authoer created many different song style and arrangement versions before deciding on a cohesive theme for the music.  If other versions are desired, let me know.   Some County or Bluegrass versions were interesting, but didn't convey the anguish and sadness in Dr. Manning's writings.   

If you are a musician or band and would like to cover a song, please do.   All that I ask for is a little credit, and maybe a video or tickets to your show.   Special thanks are extended to Karen Nicholson, Arlington, VA who provided many of the letters and poems, and some of the photos featured on this website project.

More importantly, if you stumble upon any more of Dr. Manning's poems and prose, please contact the project author.  Finding the location or a copy of his book mentioned in his Last Will and Testament would be a treasure.
