Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Midwestern Heart
That title is not showing on the list of 'songs' on the CD. Is it possible you mean the following poem?

"Schmidt's impish earthy alchemy came through, setting up a vernal Midwestern tone poem written with Sally Rogers, and called "Spring Flowers Goin' By." Embracing their theme of beauty and the soul's evanescence, Schmidt confided that the passing of her life-loving, if mischievous, Uncle Jack might've contributed to the song's creation. Apparently Uncle Jack had just slipped into a "Shit Happens" t-shirt while on vacation in Florida when the fatal heart attack hit.- Mitch Ritter (Berkeley, CA)"
