Ghost Song

When I was just 18 I took a bicycle trip from NH to Colorado. Somewhere in Kansas a terrible thunder and lightning storm struck. I ended up walking my bicycle for hours as there was no place to hide out in the middle of the plains of Kansas. I came upon a deserted house crawlwd through a broken window, rolled out my sleeping bag, and fell into a deep sleep with the lightning still flashing off the walls, thunder crashing, and tattered pink curtains blowing about the open windows. (That's all true). I had a strange dream that night which became the material for Ghost Song.
