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
Gary originally wrote lyrics to my music, with the opening theme harmonized by violin, guitar and keys before David sang the vocal. Our recent political malaise prompted a lyrical rewrite for 2020.
Lyrics
More things change, more they stay the same Still we try, stuck in the same old game One day you're up, the next your down It's a drag to contemplate another clown None so blind as those who will not see Despite the glitz, another travesty Distorted image without imagination A leading cause of growing consternation "Great" 's a false goal, not one you can freeze in time Orange calf, decidedly bovine Bears false witness, constantly out of line Renews the swamp, perpetuates the slime
