Just One-
I wrote it in early October of 2001. Made a recording of it in 2002 (On the Cd As You Make Your Way) . It was a composite of images, experiences and stories in the weeks after Sept 11th. It came almost fully formed from somewhere else. I wrote it down in my bedroom somewhere after 3am. It took about 10 minutes. It was probably an attempt to clarify and deal. I 've always thought it was hopeful.
I have played it at memorial services and gatherings, funerals and dedications, barrooms, hotels rooms and livingrooms for Union Iron and Steel workers, War vets, fireman, governors, widows, grieving cousins, priest, rabbis, mayors, sons and daughters, Democrats and Republicans, citizens one and all. I hope that you will download it and share it. I hope it makes you feel something.
