[SONG] Take Back The Night
Survivors The interesting thing about this song is that it started out being about women——and it still can be about women and their struggle in this country and all over the world to survive. All of the words apply to women—rough times, strong barriers,…
[SONG] Mother May I

SONG: I Git Tired
I Git Tired I wrote this when I had four children at home and a traveling husband and I did get tired of trying to do everything—the dishes, mopping the floor, taking the garbage out, cleaning the toilets. So I divided the jobs up…
