I have a friend of almost 40 years who was a huge fan of singer-songwriter Dar Williams back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and he turned me on to her. I’m not much of a live music fan, but we moved from Austin to New Jersey for a few years in the 1990s, and this long-time friend timed a trip to visit us with a live performance that Dar was giving close to us in New Jersey, so we saw her there.

Dar Williams a great songwriter and performer. This song is a brilliant example of both. It makes me happy due to the positive message of reconciliation in the story told in the song.
