It's my understanding that he wrote it for Janet Peterson of Motherlode; that she asked for a lullabye that would speak to her son who was getting **** from the kids at school for having two mothers and no dad. It's on their album. <br> It's a wonderful song. <br> The chords in "Rise Up Singing" leave a little bit to be desired, at least if you want to stick to Fred's melody . I know, I've tried. Barbara
