This song is super important to me because it came to me in a dream. This has never happened before and hasn't happened since! I had attended an old time week in WV where Rhiannon Giddens was one of the headliner speakers and woke up one morning with the words on my mind. I am also from a long line of women musicians, all of the women back to my great great grandmothers were musicians, who mostly played church organs. This song is about passing on that legacy. Working on it for the new album!

Written over Skype. I'm not sure how the story came about, but I know we wanted to write a song that went beyond the regular topics covered in contemporary songs.
All feedback appreciated!

A breakup story where refusing to accept it and trying to get back to her creates an unusual trip. This is a NEW VERSION of a song posted 2 times previously ( Old Title: I Can't Wait to See You Again) Hopefully this is a lot better.
