Thanks so much Bill. I'm just a family man. Not going to tour any time soon. It's not a trick, matter of fact if you look at my other songs, some of them suck pretty bad. I am working on a cd project right now, and trying hard, recording in my bedroom. I used to write for a magazine, but songwriting is my true passion. Maybe someone will play a song or two on the radio?

My boy, Forrest was playing banjo with me when I started thinking of this song. It started out to be about a lost pilgrim, but then I started researching the Sand Creek Massacre and got totally into it. It took two weeks to finish the song, but only 3 hours of writing time. The rest was research.

I played all the instruments. You can hear my sloppy guitar licks, and incomplete mandolin break. Oh well. At least I got it down on disc before I forgot how it goes. I like the song very much, and it surprises me that I wrote it.

Thanks for making me blush. Made my day!
