"In 'Helping Hand,' which has become one of our most popular songs, the lyrics evolved from Joe watching a guy standing on a street corner with a sign, asking for handouts so he could buy food," Ehrke recalls.

It is a now a timely song, given the events of today, and his lyrical touch reaches out to people who understand that they themselves may not be all that far from this man on the street corner."
