Stories From Along the Way
I wrote "Finding A Home" in 1977 while attending UConn. A folk rock tune reminiscent of Peter Paul and Mary or The Byrds, it foretells an (apparent) future yearning to settle down in some place called home - a future that came true not too much later...
Maybe fulfilling the yearning of "Finding A Home", "Frontier Daze" tells the story of going out for a night on the town in Cheyenne, WY during Frontier Days (the "Daddy of Them All" in the world of rodeo) in 1979. I end up meeting my wife Linda (we married later that year) in a slightly comical fashion that night. The song reflects on not only that fateful night in Cheyenne, but the life we built for ourselves and our family over the years.
"Christie Liked to Rock and Roll" tells the story of my first trip to Telluride, CO for the Blues and Brew Festival. The song mentions several people who I met on that trip - some fairly famous musicians, others not so famous - but all of them were memorable, and there for the same reason - the music!
