ALICE BAG

I started working on this song around the time that Kat Arthur and Tony Kinman died. I didn’t have the courage to put it up or do anything with it because I didn’t feel it was ready but the news of Lorna Doom’s passing today reminded me that punk has more to do with courage than polish. Thank you, Lorna for continuing to inspire. I feel you here although you’re gone.

A sketch of a new song, inspired by friends whose light still shines.

Restless days
Trying to stay above the chaos
Restless nights
Tossing sheets right off the bed

At ease, go on, sleep
Still and calm
It’s a long, long, peace

There’s no map to follow
It’s the great unknown
We’re all travelers
You’re not alone (Traveler)

That bright star
That is shining in the distance
It once burned
Oh, but that was long ago

It sleeps, yeah, it sleeps
Still and calm
Tho' we see it glow

There’s no map to follow
It’s the great unknown
We’re all travelers
You’re not alone (Travelers)

I see your afterglow
Your spirit echoes on
I feel you here
Although you’re gone

THE SHAGGS

THE SHAGGS- 1975

THE SHAGGS- 2017

The Shaggs

were an American all-female rock and outsider music band formed in Fremont,

New Hampshire in 1968..

The Shaggs were formed by Dot, Betty and Helen Wiggin in 1968,

on the insistence of their father,

Austin Wiggin, who believed that his mother had predicted the band's rise to stardom.

The band's only studio album, Philosophy of the World, was released in 1969.

The album failed to garner attention, though the band continued

to exist as a locally popular live act.

The Shaggs disbanded in 1975 after the death of Austin.

The band is primarily notable today for their perceived ineptitude at playing conventional rock music; the band was described in one Rolling Stone article as "sounding like lobotomized Trapp Family singers."

On February 17, 2017, The Shaggs announced a reunion show at the Solid Sound Festival

in June curated by Wilco.

Freddie Mercury

( 5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991)

British singer, songwriter and record producer, known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Queen.

He was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range.

Mercury wrote numerous hits for Queen, including "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Killer Queen", "Somebody to Love", "Don't Stop Me Now", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", and "We Are the Champions".

He formed Queen in 1970 with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor.

Mercury died in 1991 at age 45 due to complications from AIDS,

having confirmed the day before his death that he had contracted the disease.

In 1992, Mercury was posthumously awarded the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music, and a tribute concert was held at Wembley Stadium, London. As a member of Queen, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003,

and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004.

He is consistently voted one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music.

THE ROYAL DRUMMERS OF BURUNDI

The Royal Drummers of burundi
have been carrying their musical knowledge of father to son for generations.
They play hollowed-out logs during all kinds of parties from the king.

And these days are all over the world.
