This nigun came through in the sun-drenched fields of Eden Village Camp when Aly learned that her friend had begun labor for a much-awaited “baby bird.” The form of this wordless song was improvised every time it was recorded – we never knew what was going to happen, when an instrument or voice would sing. Such is the act of creation: We go along for the ride, hearts as open as we can manage, and take in the sunlight
