Thanks for your comments everyone. A couple of interesting observations about the lyrics. Indeed I am more thematic/metaphorical than linear in my approach. I wrote and studied poetry in my youth and am still attracted to imagism. I hope though that the mosaic amounts to something meaningful to you as I don't aim to merely stuff a song with words. There is a controlling idea.

Yep Pat I do perform live, although not often with a lineup consisting of Nashville's finest!
