"King Corcoran was the first song that formed itself in a meaningful way from my original researching of the newspaper articles of the time. Once I then visited the physical location of where 'Corcoran' Roost'  had been (it's where the United Nations Building is today), I was able to imagine how the area looked in the 1800s, and imagine who it felt to stand on that rugged piece of ground with livestock running round, and ready to defend it from invaders."
