Think of the 1960's when dreams were lived... Think of living day to day in the most beautiful place on earth.

Think of independence, freedom, exploration, failure...Think of living with someone, fighting, loving, growing, raising two kids....Think of making a school, building land trusts, forming groups....Think of the dream of changing the world to a better, fairer place...Think of music played with sticks, stones, and wood around a campfire...Think of magic land where real becomes too real and the stars glitter...Think of two people, me and Alan trying to make sense out of a crazy world where supposedly peace loving people wage war against everything and everyone. That is where these songs and stories came from. We bought a house and drug our two kids off to live on a tidal river where we lived as close as we could in order to stay free of the pulls of society. We created things, Alan is a painter and i paint, write poetry and sing these songs. As they popped out of my mouth and demanded attention, Alan picked up his harmonicas and joined my auto harp and me in filling our lives with song. The songs are bits of living in a special time. The first one is "Sitting by the River" And that's where a big bunch of them were written, me sitting in our Maine house, on the window seat I had built out of scrap lumber, looking out and down at the shallow tidal river that lapped the cedar posts that held the house up from falling down into time.
