After a couple off weeks, due to powerlessness and connectivity issues, even now in the most modern era ever, we did the show we had planned to do the week before. From 21st century reworks of songs from Hair to a passel of songs about doggies, there was plenty to sing your teeth into.
Not sure where the Hair inspiration came from. Maybe all those protest signs the last few weeks reminded us of the Sixties, the era of peace and love, and the last time people were sufficiently angry to force change, although not quite as fast as people hoped and not for long either. We liked how the Persica 3 single “Problem” fit right in there.
Favorite new song of the week: Gregory Frost’s protest anthem “Constant Crisis” from the album of the same name. Thanks, dude. We needed that.
But wait — there’s more!
