It’s difficult to imagine — for an outsider, anyway — that Tom Rush hasn’t always followed his muse. Yet there it is, on his website, something akin to a “note to self” proclaiming his new resolution. Or perhaps it’s a continuation of one he may have made in the early 1960s when he was studying at Harvard University. At that time, he was out at the coffeehouses and clubs, singing blues and folk and introducing the work of then-unknowns like Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor.

“I have written a children’s song,” said Rush of where his muse has recently led him. “That has never happened before … I’m playing it at shows to show people just how silly we can get.”
