Mother Judge (aka Caroline Isach-sen) came to Albany in 1986. Thedaughter of music-loving parents, shegrew up playing piano and singing inthe choir, but it was Harry Chapinthat first put stars in her eyes. Thewhole storytelling song structure ap-pealed to me, she says. After theshow, she went home and composedher first song. It wasnt that great,but I wrote it out, and finished it and
worked out the music forit. (Metroland, vol. 25, no. 15)
