Here is an offering of songs to get you through the political season. It's still early in the month at publication, and there have been plenty of surprises so far, with likely more to come. As with my debut album, this was recorded at Gizmo Recording Studio in Silver Spring, MD. And also, as on the first album, it is greatly enhanced with contributions from son Peter. Listen to 'Dangerous Flowers', 'What Will It Take', and 'Changing Of The Guard' for his most notable contributions in the form of guitar solos. Father and son take turns on drums and bass, and dad lays down the rhythm guitar and vocals, and other guitar work. These songs were originally conceived as part of a Rock Opera, which may yet come to a fruition, with your support. So become a subscriber and co-creator!
The lyrics are a little muffled. I think I was wearing a mask. This is my favorite set of lyrics on the album. "There's a day coming long fought for and broadly sought for." Election day! There's really a lot packed into this one. Hope, disappointment, betrayal, reconciliation... It's a whole life's journey.
