Nina Jo Smith - La Terre

10. “La Terre” (Nina Jo Smith Redwood River Music (BMI))
Bouncy. Accordion accompaniment. Feels a bit like a French cafe song.
My great uncle somehow found his way from a farm in Illinois into the foreign service. He loved languages. I inherited many of his books and journals. And his curiosity about the world. This song traverses the waves to Europe during WWI. Love of language and curiosity about the world carried him far. Feels accessible even though multilingual.
