This song gives me the feeling of traveling. The California Zephyr is a train that travels daily from Denver to San Francisco.

When an important relationship ended, it took me a few years to get over it. Then, one day, something really shifted. It was in that clear moment that I wrote this song.

A friend of mine named this song "Happy Pig In Spring". Actually, pigs can get happy any time of year, especially if they don't have any cavities.

This is the only instrumental to appear on my mostly vocal first album, "Natural Voice Inisde". I named it "Pacific" partly because I was missing a close friend who had moved to the West Coast, and partly because the word itself means 'peaceful'.

This song was written on two cups of coffee, while I was waiting for a friend to come over. We went cross-country skiing. Then we came back again.

I started writing this song on a camping trip I took in Moab, Utah with my friend Marilyn Widmer. Two years later, she died in Colorado Springs. I finished writing "Passing Through" to play at her funeral.

One beautiful, blue-skied Saturday morning in Aspen, three friends and I went hiking on the Hunter Creek trail. We had a great time, but the real fun began the next day, when one of my friends gave me a chocolate ball. That's when I got the inspiration for this song, and that's just the plain truth.

For me, this song carries the spirit of the whole album.

I started writing this song in 1983, when I was living in Tallahassee. I finished it mostly while looking at the fields outside my window and thinking about cleaning the litter box.

Colorado isn't that far away from Texas, but it is if you're a dog.
