An a.m. radio on in every room of their Chicagoland home, her obsession with lyrics and music began before she could even talk. Before the age of 3, memorizing the lyrics to entire albums including Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘Bookends’, Carol Lee found the words she already sang, written on the back of the albums, when it clicked, 'this is how you read'! Poems, self reflective journals and stories redeemed a tumultuous childhood along with a continued reverence for music and lyrics. In 1997, 15 years into Arthur and Carol's relationship, a spontaneous songwriting collaboration occurred while sitting on Adirondack chairs in the Big Sur River in California. In 2002, attending Rocky Mountain Song School, Grammy-nominated producer and hit songwriter Wendy Waldman, upon listening to the demo of their song Dragonfly told Carol Lee about her lyrics, “You’ve raised the bar!” Ms. Waldman signed on and produced Arthur Lee Land's album, Dragonfly, in 2004.
