“My Uncle’s Life” is the song that brought the band together. My colleague Grant Gritzmacher took a poem from one of my books (A Wilderness of Chances) and turned it into a song which he performed at my retirement party in June of 2020. The poem/song is about my Uncle Bill. That song encouraged Grant and me and our colleague Dan Aber to begin getting together in Westminster’s music room to play as a trio, which eventually led to the band Firetown Road. The song is featured on our new album, Here’s to This Life.
