Story behind the song
It was a home-grown affair. Mike took the music we played in the college coffeehouses and local folk venues, and with a lot of ingenuity, put it onto tape, mistakes and all. This one was recorded at ODO studios in NYC by a soup-kitchen full of recording engineer students. Inspired by the painting "Blind Orion Searching for the Rising Sun", 1658, by Nicolas Poussin [French Baroque Era Painter, 1594-1665]. See the painting, online at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC.
