Harvest Time
This song is based on the scripture which says "the fields are white to harvest, but the workers are few." I felt this to be a very important message, and desired to convey this idea as an admonishment to Christians that this is the day to be bold.
I had a 'Bob Dylan' feel in mind when I wrote this on guitar and wanted to get a kind of feeling in the music that would bring to mind the image of people dancing formally in baroque times. You know, Jolly Old England, women in bustles, that type of thing.
What really brought this image home was the unplanned genius of Sid Sharp and William Kurasch who did the violin duet in the instrumental. I asked Sid to do it as a solo, and he suggested the duet. These guys nailed it in like two takes, echoing the melody that I sang to them spontaneously to the track. This instrumental section is one of my favorite moments on any of my records.
