The 2nd in the UU auction series. The person who won the auction wanted a song about the fellowship, the place we met on Sunday and the community. So I wrote this little kind of sing-a-long folk song.

This is a real person. He was one of the saddest millionaires I ever met.

This song is musically and thematically related to an earlier tune from an older album called "house of strangers." That song was a plea from one partner to another about a marriage that was failing. This song comes when it becomes obvious that…
