201308 - (#17a) While on a visit back home to Michigan, by complete coincidence, I ran into my friend Lisa B. from our old neighborhood! The last time I saw her was the summer of 77 when she stopped by to say hello. I was recording a new song and by total chance I discovered she had an amazing singing voice. I got her to sing backup on my song that day! I later learned that she went on to sing professionally at local pubs in Michigan.

201308 - (#17b) As everyone remembers, the summer of 77 was when Elvis died. And the talk around the office turned into discussions about life after death. The stories all seemed to have a common theme of going down a tunnel or corridor and seeing a light. So I decided to try to write a song about it. It was this song that Lisa B sang backup with me on that day in 1977. Id like to take credit for discovering her, but Im sure with a voice like hers she would have gone on regardless.
