A note from Robin about the recording:
While on a 250-mile drive from a rehearsal last year, it began to rain. Then it began to pour. It became impossible to drive safely so I pulled over, glad to have the comfort of my radio to help me bide the time. I began to hum along to a melody I couldn't quite place, but was indeed familiar. It was warm, soothing, simple. For some reason, it brought to mind an image of a large ship sailing the ocean, bound for America. I began to think of my grandmother who had made a brave voyage to this country on a ship just like that. And as the rain continued to fall, the music filled my car with this comforting, yet triumphant music. When I looked down to see which station was playing this music, I saw, much to my amazement, that the radio was not on. I continued to hear the music for a few more seconds before it faded to silence. The rest of the drive home, I pondered this strange experience, trying to find a reasonable explanation for the radio music. And despite what my skeptic friends say, I am not entirely convinced the music came from my imagination. I think it came from some place else. When I got home, I approached the piano and recalled what I had "heard" (A Song For Jennie). Surely, this is a "song of the spirit" and like the others on this recording, it celebrates that within us that is true, simple, clear. Where words fail, there's this. -- Robin Spielberg
