Introduction
After six decades of writing love songs, my latest album At This Time addresses the state of our world today. People ask why I am suddenly rocking the boat. I had to do it. I have two little kids and a 19-year-old son, and I wonder about what their lives will be like growing up in the world in which we live.
At This Time is also the first time I've written lyrics (collaborating with Tonio K) because the subject is so personal to me. I hope you enjoy the words to "Who Are These People?" (featuring Elvis Costello on the album), "Please Explain," and "Where Did It Go?" (which I even decided to perform myself).
