Once Howl

This afternoon my brother called me, fresh from a week of flying his beautiful balloon at Fiesta, back home in Albuquerque, NM.

He asked me to write and record a song that had something to do with wolves and flying, as he’s been carrying a banner on his balloon in support of the Mexican Wolf. He said if I had it done in time it might even be played on KUNM radio Saturday morning.

I’ve never been much for writing “Song” songs on demand. Soundtracks, sure, but a song with lyrics and real feeling is in a bit of a different league.

But in the end I’m pretty happy with this one. It’s deep and honest and I like it. Or maybe it’s just the lateness of the hour.
