Ghosts, Latin rhythms, history and protest fuse to make this song. It was initially inspired by the mythic stories told about the heiress Sarah Lockwood Pardee (c1840-1922), wife to William Winchester of firearm fame.

Sarah's Rooms

Many songs tell stories from a bartender's perspective, but few from a young legion bartender's. I try to capture the lively, character rich essence of a few of the people I encountered at one legion branch. Some of them were inspiring heroes of the great wars of the twentieth century. Many had wonderful stories to tell. Others were quiet. 

This song tries to capture the character of a few of them ... and I dedicate this song to them all.
