College’s River Concert reminds of the last time I went and caught Vonda Shephard. (I’ve discussed this in a previous post.) Vonda has a song titled “Maryland” that she explains rather nicely as follows:
“That song, though it’s a very simple song, has complicated meaning to me”, says Shepard. “It’s about going home. I never lived in Maryland, but my mother wanted to move there for many years and kept talking about moving to Maryland. For me, though, the way she talked about it romanticized the city (of Baltimore), and I pictured that as a home to go to someday.” click here for lyrics and more info.
