A minor rant about being voted down on my suggestion that we play Electionanigans, one of my political tunes, at a public, sidewalk chalk festival, the band's first public engagement since Leap Year Day (Feb. 29, 2020)

light hearted lyrical sarcasm and original music inspired by a lifetime of accompanying a boatload of excellent musicians.
With the exception of Mango Chutneyed, everything posted here results from home recording in which alll the tunes posted are original compositions of mine, with performances on the various tracks also by me.

Story behind the song
I proposed playing my tune, Electionanigans, at what will be the band's first public appearance since Leap Year Day. The plan was vetoed by the two other members of the trio, on their not unjustified belief that the event, a sidewalk chalk festival mostly for children, wasn't the right venue. I still disagree, and wrote this tune in response.
Lyrics
Suffering fools or a fool to be suffered? A question about pointed lyrics unbuffered, on Arrows and slings of fortune outrageous: Better to keep snarky comments in cages. Theyd prefer not to but I disagree, there Are two of them, but just one of me Ive been overruled, my windows been closed and Its not the right place! for the words that Ive chosen... Why wont they tell it? Cant give it away. Sorry the day, sorry the day. I didnt lie and I didnt cheat. I dont like to peddle my wares in the street. I do what I do, I know who I am. Dont they Aid and abet while I call out the scam? Until hell freezes I wont do what pleases To dumb down the sense I wont sit on the fence. I took a peek, but they gave me an eyeful. Its not a trifle to censor and stifle Why wont they tell it? Cant give it away. Sorry the day, sorry the day. Suffering fools or a fool to be suffered? A question about pointed lyrics unbuffered, on Arrows and slings of fortune outrageous: Better to keep snarky comments in cages. Why wont they tell it? Cant give it away. Sorry the day, sorry the day.
