Lee Vogt’s SONG OF THE WEEK: “Mary”—Lee wrote, “I wrote this about a man who was in grief after his mother died. His name is Gary but I changed it to ‘Mary.’. The song started on Woodvale Road at my parents home in Branford CT. The I finished it in an empty church on a country road in New Hampshire where Gia-fu Feng was in residence, putting together the Tao Te Ching with Jane English, Roger Hahn, and assorted students. I was but a visitor.”
Producer-musician Johnny J. Blair wrote, “I’ve had a great time working with Lee, a singer-songwriter who dashes off heartfelt love songs and is also influenced by the confessionals of Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman, Nilsson, and John Stewart. ‘Mary’ reminds me of the quieter sides of Simon and Garfunkel.”
Personnel:
