Ok, now, the school term ends for me this week and I have some good ideas for Protest Music diaries in the future. I'm not done yet, though, so when kossack, causebass, sent me a link to this show they played I thought it would be the perfect short diary for my first post class contribution.
theCAUSE Live at Frankie and Georgie's on March 31, 2012
Please right click and open in a new tab or window to listen to the concert while you read.
I have featured both theCAUSE and Steve Kimock on my NPR radio show, Something Blue, in the past. Now I'm going to get to present them playing together. theCAUSE is a fine band and Steve Kimock is an extraordinary guitarist so the pairing is bound to please.
You ask me where the four winds dwell
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
Ring like fire when you lose your way
Roll away... the dew . . .
God help the child who rings that bell
It may have one good ring left, you can't tell
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused just listen to the music play
- Hunter, Garcia The Annotated "Franklin's Tower"
