Dedication: If You Will Try It was written as a birthday present for my mother, who was born on the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth year of the last century. The fact that the completion date on the music reads “August 8, 1994” indicates that I wrote the piece (or at least finished it) on the birthday itself. It was first sung by my brother and me in my parents’ house in Berkeley, California. It subsequently became a staple in my two- and three-person song programs.
