Adam's Morning

Adam's Morning was written for Richard's young nephew. When the child was two, doctors found that Adam was hearing impaired. "When I heard the news from my sister Carolyn, I was really upset. Imagine being hearing impaired and the people around you not even knowing. The doctors decided to go ahead with a procedure which would give him much of his hearing. I kept asking myself what it would be like to be able to suddenly hear clearly after two years of muffled sound. I woke the next morning at 4:30 with the whole song in my head. I wrote it down as fast as I could." (Richard makes a habit of keeping paper and pencil next to his bed, as many of his compositions are given to him while he is sleeping.)
