So So So

A song about leaving home and finding a new one. In a word...Liberation!

County Line

Just as the sun was rising one morning a street lamp on the Loisaida sputtered before it went out. For a few seconds two young lovers from another time appeared and danced while fading into the morning light. Who's to say when a dance is done...

Mama's Cryin'

Once upon a time I was at The Grace Church Christmas Choir performance when they started The Little Drummer Boy. Though I've heard it a gazillion times, I was hit like a freight train. I had just lost my dad and when the lyric got to "I'll play my best for him" I couldn't speak. A good song will do that.

Later that night, the chorus of this song poured out of me. It's a labor of love in honor of my dad, Thomas P Robinson. On our last day together I remember saying, "no goodbyes dad...I will see you again someday."

I read about a young woman named Esther who planned to be married the following Saturday. 

This song was written years before reading of her personal tragedy. I don't ask questions, I just write what moves me. I lived across the street from the site of the fire for years. I don't believe in coincidence as much as I believe in destiny.  Reading her story gave me a chill. I now know who I had written the song about. Thank you Esther. i believe you had a hand in this!


Moreover, this song is a tribute to the women and men who died at The Triangle. They were not Martyrs as the plaque on the wall at Washington and Greene St's suggest. They were victims of greedy shop owners who cared more about profit margins than worker safety and had once been sweat shop workers themselves.

A typical story... My Grand Father came to NYC and saved for 5 years to get the money together to get the family over here. My Father and five brothers and sisters came over from Ireland with my Grand Mother. I wrote this as a tribute to them. ..immigrants with a dream.
