I was asked by a group to write a song on the theme of brotherhood. This was before women's liberation, when brotherhood meant men and women both, so I wrote the song. Since I had always been very fond of the Passion Chorale, I wrote words to that great piece.
“The soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond, and must be polished, or the luster of it will never appear.”
“Let's just say I decided that while my son is young I don't want to do projects that would take me away for months.”
