About a year ago Lily and I attended Lucia Neare's delightful "Lullaby Moon," a beautiful performance art meets theater presentation outdoors at Seward park here in Seattle.

The piece is a beautiful exploration of the world of dreams. After we got home I tucked Lily into bed and picked up the guitar. As I often do, I started playing things that sounded like what I was feeling. Within a couple of hours I had composed this simple piece. The song sounds like childhood to me. Like the moon and stars and learning. It's tentative and fearful but full of excitement and confidence at the same time.

Childhood. I hope you'll enjoy it.
