Jean Clark's father used to sing a lot of country music and bluegrass music. He grew up around that kind of music, but he really showed no inclination towards being a deep reader or a deep thinker. So when you when you look at some of the lyrics that that come to mind later on like the lyrics of songs on the white Laidel more especially on the no other album You wonder where did this man get these deep insights?
