about
This song happened because I ashed Carla Delellis at Johnny D's if she would make a contribution from the restaurant or bar to the Somerville Homeless Coaltion when we do the Christmas Cavalcade, and she said she'd be happy to donate a portion of all gift certificates sold that night, which completely blew me away. Do you know what the odds are of a bar owner saying yes to a question like that are (especially when it's a charity they've supported for years anyway)? Not that high -she's the best (THANK YOU, CARLA!)
I had hoped we might be able do a new recording of this, as this is the only time we've ever played it, and you may notice the occasional teensy flaw (plus, sounds like shit -hey, it's a board tape!) -so, so far you're stuck with this one, Anyway...
So get out there and buy some damn gift certificates, folks!
