Stray

Stray:
A lot of my songs start out with a blank piece of paper and nothing. This is one of them. I was doing this little chord riff – I still don’t know what that chord is called. I showed it to Pat, my bandleader, and he told me what it was but I forgot. I remember thinking, when I was first playing that riff, “This song is about an Indian Chief… no it’s about a stray dog. It was a happy lonely chord and I could see the dog walking on the sidewalk; his shadow bouncing. People ask me if it’s about a homeless person and I tell them, no, it’s really about a stray dog. Sometimes they look disappointed. Hell, maybe it is about a homeless person.
