Once Upon

Fun Facts: Inspired by Irish pub singing, this is a song about how my wife and I got together. Short and sweet like our courtship with a movement that is steady and flowing like our marriage. This was originally an a cappella song. The original recording done on a 1960’s reel to reel microphone and recorded on a well-worn Memorex tape. This is why the sound on this song is so different than the rest of the album. It was originally recorded in the summer of 1998. J wanted to keep that early recording of my voice as a time capsule.
