RANDOM NOTES FOR NON-AMERICANS
Chosen: written in Philadelphia.
All That Rent To Pay: Some searing criticism from Mike Reid (at Rodney Crowell's “Adventures In Song” workshop) helped this one along.
Agnes Carter at Sunset: Jim Beam is a Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey.
Bridges On The Susquehanna: The Susquehanna flows out into Chesapeake Bay between Philadelphia & Baltimore. The Conowingo Dam is a short way upstream.
I Waited For You: Some of this song written on the Massachusetts Turnpike (that one ‘from Stockbridge to Boston’).
Join In Song: The chorus came first, in 2019. The Flint Michigan water crisis, Ukraine War, and Covid had to happen to finish the song.
Desert Skies: Gallup, New Mexico.
For The Length Of A Song: Montreal.
