Music Show #94 – 4/13/2018 – Old Songs/New Words

In the tradition of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and many others I have written contemporary words to old familiar tunes.

Song #1 “Going Down the Road Feeling Good” – (original music – Woody Guthrie) New words to encourage good vibes for those struggling to bring about social justice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXvrQqXzPbs&index=4&t=0s&list=PLOyRYerTUWm1wWx0rABevP5sOfMkRgmtp

Song #2 “We Threw It All Away” – (original music – Bob Dylan) New verses that advocate for a strong defense of our democracy at a time when it seems to be under assault. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9SYnw1IJKU&t=0s&list=PLD31BC21FB0FC09BF&index=34

Song #3 “When Georgie Goes Marchin’ Home” – (original music – Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore) This song takes us on a surreal tour of the Bush Administration and its many misadventures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6daf5fxoLtI&index=1&list=PLD31BC21FB0FC09BF
