That was in 1967, so it took quite a while for the song to morph past the incubation stage (and amazing to me that I remember the details so vividly. But I do!). If I had gotten that peek into one-celled goings-on earlier, maybe today I'd be a scientist and not a songwriter..."

    “Over the years, I’ve received cards, drawings and letters from teachers and elementary school students who have been inspired by the song,” remarks Christine.
