Robin Regina Baker spent decades writing computer code. Then, after heart surgery, she woke up with a melody and lyrics running through her head, including a song title she had inexplicably written down a few years earlier.
Since then, the songs haven’t stopped. Now, at 60, Robin is following a strange and joyful new creative calling, one that has taken her from her Midway home to a songwriting festival in Montana, and has her wondering what, exactly, was awakened when she opened her eyes.
