Tribute to a friend. I wrote this song just before I heard of Mark’s passing. This song came through me and was written with ease. I like to believe some songs are channeled and this is an example.

Good Woman

Sailor's Valentine is a historical folksong and story. It a shanty style song for your entertainment.
 The story is written by and through the eyes of a sea captain aboard a sailing ship from Nova Scotia. The ship had carried cargo to Barbados then Sugar, rum and molasses back home along with the Sailor's Valentines. These Valentines were made on the island of Barbados and sold at Belgraves Curiosity Shop.

Sailor's Valentine

This was the first song I wrote during the Covid lockdown. The song was inspired by a NPR news segment  regarding refrigerator trucks with unknown victims of Covid waiting to be buried at City Cemetery on Hart Island.  The island is located off of City Island and has been used as a potters field for generations. 

I wanted the song to tell a story of the American tragedy of mental illness and homelessness as well as raising awareness of the final resting place 
of many on Hart Island.   

The song is under a licensing agreement and hopefully will be used by The Hart Island Project a non profit organization that is working towards transforming the island into a National Historic site.
