To Let Go

Rockport, Maine
My grandfather won the lottery, he gambled it all away. My dad dropped out of school—he was only eight. Found a diamond bracelet in the cobblestones. Bought himself a plane ticket, never went back home.

Anybody but Myself
Words from Will Foote, teaching artist, to the story source of this
song: “I want to say how grateful I am that you were willing to share,
and for the story you told as part of our Veterans’ Project. The song
has kept me reflecting on myself, and there are parts of the past 5
years that it’s really helped me process in a new, less painful way. I
am grateful. Thank you.”
