Tapping the Wheel
"Tapping the Wheel" was named for that moment when my father used to tap his rings on our old Chevy Impala and make the rhythms that waked my brother, sister, mother and I to move and sing. We never sang to the car radio. Just to each other, as we kept our eyes on the road. This is only touched on in the song, These Things, but it is the essence of how these songs came to be.
