Crazy Is

Song of a Suffering Child

High

Maypole

“I wrote this after my other Grandmother died. She was a genuine New Yorker who came from a simpler time, when things moved slower, technology wasn’t overwhelming, people were “more sophisticated,” as she liked to say, and time was cherished. The present world isn’t one that she understood or needed to continue to live in. She had already found her ‘home,’ and she always found her own way of telling her children and grandchildren to find theirs. She used to say, ‘It used to be that nobody went into the city without their gloves on.’ I allowed that to be the first line of the song.”
