A long, long time ago I used to write songs about events in my life or people I knew. Some time back then (1978), there was a story in the St. Pete Times about a woman named Clare, who spent her life collecting aluminum cans to recycle to "get by". Her dream was to take one last ocean voyage, like she and her husband Jack used to do. It was "heart-wrenching". So I wrote a song about Clare. Because of the story, she ended up being a guest on the Johnny Carson show. He was so taken by her (she was a "character") that he offered to pay for her "last voyage". This is her story.

Clare and the Wonderland Waltz

Since there was no concertina track. I EQ'd an accordian to try to emulate one.

Hope you enjoy it. Comments welcomed. as always
