Him
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.
He had exactly what I needed and he gave it freely and when he left he let me keep it free of charge. He said he has many.

Pail and Can – my new song meaning and influences
This song was originally based on a theme of childhood wonderment I powerfully felt influence in in the words of Robert Frost’s poem “Going for Water.”
It also draws from the shortest poem ever written, William Carlos Williams’ epic “The Red Wheelbarrow.”
My lyrics ended up being:
“The well was dry beside the land
And we looked on with pail and can
As children
It’s where I found out who I am
A red wheelbarrow and pail and canFake it til I make it
Gonna make it good
Gonna make it to the island where you left me
Staying in my own side of the streetThe well was dry …. Repeat all”
Here’s the song:
It’s about wonderment of childhood. Memory of Arizona, the desert smell and my brother and I collected rusted cans and metal stuff in a pail. :)
