From the outset when the three began enjoying collectively, all of it simply appeared to work.

Carry An Finish…
James Grant mentioned “With Carry An Finish Norman wrote the tune and despatched me it and I had a sense about it immediately. Actually, I simply opened a pocket book and it was just about all there and I had completely no recollection of getting written any of it. I spent a day honing it and that was it. ‘Carry an finish to this ugliness…’ has a universality about it. Perhaps it may be our Mull of Kintyre.”
Norman Blake added “Carry An Finish was one of many many musical fragments that dwell on my telephone. After I was searching for one thing that may work for BBG, this tune sprang to thoughts. It was a musical thought and not using a lyric and it occurred to me that James might need one thing in one among his notebooks that might work. I despatched the telephone recording off to him and the very subsequent day we had a completed tune.”
