When we write and record adult songs we''re known as Cross Creek. We do this so as not to confuse our Battersby Duo fans, who know us for our wacky Children''s songs. So this CD is for all the Moms and Dads who over the years have asked us to write an album just for them. Thanks for being so patient!
We grew up in London and Washington DC and in spite of being “CityKids” we came to live in central Florida 25 years https://www.tradebit.com live in a very rural and beautiful part of the USA. Lakes,rivers and nature abound,and with them,the wildlife we’ve come to love and respect.
Many of the songs we’ve written for Children over the past 25 years are about the animals and nature that so delightfully create our landscape in and around Spring Lake, where we live with the turtles, deer,snakes and alligators. At dawn sometimes a panther can be seen padding across our back yard.
In the 1920’s Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings moved from NY to Cross Creek and won a Pulitzer prize for her novel “The Yearling” about a boy who adopts an orphaned fawn. Her love affair with rural Florida and the “crackers” she subsequently became friends with, prompted her to write Cross Creek,an autobiographical account of her relationships with her neighbors, and her beloved Florida hammocks.
Our life on Spring Lake for the past 25 years has been in many ways much the same as Marjorie Rawlings life on Cross Creek
The songs on this CD were all written during our stay in Florida, and range in topic from the retro optimistic Song for Dylan,to the pessimistic & gritty A Child Cries. Each song, journey''s along an avenue of family emotions that most of us deal with https://www.tradebit.com English Teacher is a nod to literacy and to all who are keen of https://www.tradebit.comlections of a Major, is a song of war and loss, while Out on the Town Again,is just downright frisky! I wrote That Magical Youth high up in the Blue Ridge Mountains in a cabin on a snowy December night and Walking down by the Sea, I wrote in a row boat on Spring Lake one July evening last year. A Storm is Coming is a very personal peek into the minds of two very private people.
