Great story, Harriet. And a wonderful lyric. For me, the great thing about writing a song about real people is that it allows me to communicate things that I probably wouldn't if I was just talking to them. Things that would make me tongue-tied (I am a guy after all) seem to come out more naturally (or at least more easily) in a song  My favorites have been written as gifts for others. I met my wife's granddad Joe about 27 years ago and we probably visited him and my wife's grandmother Ann 4 or 5 times before he passed away. He was tough as nails (he worked in the coal mines) but perhaps the most decent human being I've ever met. A few months ago, I wrote (with the help of another relative) a song about him and gave it to Ann - she plays it all the time. I suspect that will mean more to me than anything else that ever happens to me because of music Great that you are getting together with your old band, Joe. Should be a great and special day... Scott
