Cosmo and the Cosmos Trio will always be fondly remembered at Johnny D's. The trio's musicianship and songs brought to my mom, Tina, and to so many others, a happiness in their hearts and souls (and soles). For that we are forever grateful. Our condolences to the entire family for your loss.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
