Children and Art
After 30 years, my musical collaborator Paul Ford retired. I wasn't sure if that meant I would have to as well.
But my dear friend Bob Hurwitz introduced me to Thomas Bartlett, who introduced me to an entirely new way of making music—in his studio, hours of playing, singing, and recording, never searching for the illusion of perfection. We've decided to share our music making journey with you, in the form of a Diary.
Now, in Children and Art, songs from these Diary sessions can be heard on an album for the first time.
