This song was written by me as a reaction to a letter from my second daughter who was living in the United States whilst I was living in Australia.  The lyrics use the letter and a phone call to create a dialog between me and my daughter.   It was recorded at the Joan sutherland Performing Arts Centre in Penrith New South Wales.  I played the piano, flute and sax tracks and arranged the backing musicians who were students at the TAFE college were I was teaching, including the male vocalist on the track and Vicki as lead vocalists.
