Katie Jane
Ok, a few more I’ve got saved up. This is one of three songs I wrote for my siblings. I had just moved out to the West coast and was Very Far Away from everything and everyone I’d ever known (ok, there were cows and pigs and chickens, so there were some things that were familiar…), so like I do, I wrote some songs about it.
Living in a chicken coop, spending months sharpening a huge old crosscut saw, playing tunes with the neighbors, roasting my own coffee, figuring out how to farm while getting rained on everyday…it was an experience. I kinda loved it. But I missed my people. So when I sat down to write, I wrote about them.
This one’s for sister Kate. Happy Birthday sis…and thanks, you know, for everything…
