Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
The song this cycle is Life Is Like a Car, written in the early 90s when two friends whom I had worked with on peace and justice issues were leaving the area. I remember finishing the last verse in the basement of the church where we were having their going-away party. Susan Merrill helped me with thoughts and feedback and we sang it together later that evening. It's a song that circles my chest often during times of farewells and passings and just deep friendship remembered.
Leonore Hildebrandt and I recorded it earlier this week (we're working on a CD that will be available soon). She and Susan Merrill and I had a lovely music trio, Solstice, back in the day.
Here's a playlist of all the songs from all the newsletters.
I'm sending you a monthly offering from original music I've been writing over many years. I've been so bold as to add your email to my newsletter list. You can unsubscribe at any time (link at the bottom of the email).
Many songs are recorded solo, some are from different musical twinings from over the years - all are original tunes, with some occasional collaborations.
My best to each,
Brian
