My Wife (1993)
Sung to My Life by Billy Joel (1978)
I performed this in Baltimore at a Jewish Singles lunch. After the show, a woman, Pat Ford, came up and told me she had enjoyed my songs. She became my girlfriend.
I wrote this song to criticize Orthodox Jews who judged other Orthodox Jews for being—or appearing to be—-less observant.
