[2000]
Lyrics & Music by Rob Lincoln
"The recent bicentennial of Lincoln's birth is over, but here's a song written in 2000 that celebrates his life and legacy. It also addresses the historical revisionism with a very common sense approach. It's a simple song but has one of the best build-ups as far as an arrangements I've done thus far".
...Between ourselves: did 'Honest Abe' really want to set the slaves free ?
He maybe did it strictly for politics.. He never freed any slaves.
The Emancipation Proclamation applied only to Confederate States, which did not recognize Lincoln's authority at the time because they considered themselves to be a separate country...

Charleston Town
![Charleston Town](img/thumb/a9500_130x140.jpeg)
[1984]
Lyrics & Music by Rob Lincoln
A Civil War ballad and love story. For Civil War buffs and those who want to hear a real weeper.
"Charleston Town is my first true historical ballad, in that although it is historical fiction, it is not an allegory but a straight story. I had been inspired by reading The Red Badge of Courage and my Civil War history class at Temple as the backdrop of this tale of lost love. This version is quite a bit different than the version L&L used to perform. It also contains an additional verse. Some background – Charleston was reduced to rubble by the end of the war. This union soldier was originally stationed there prior to the war".

This is the first of more than half a dozen songs I've written about presidents. It's about Teddy Roosevelt, of course.
Incidentally, recently a book came out specifically about Teddy's expedition to the River of Doubt. It's called River of Doubt and it's a great read. I highly recommend it.

Anymore
![Anymore](img/upl/travis-tritt1.jpg)
"Anymore" is a song recorded by country music artist Travis Tritt. It is the second single released from his 1991 album It's All About To Change. It peaked at #1 in both the United States and Canada, becoming his second number-one hit in the United States, and his fourth number-one in Canada.
The music video was directed by Jack Cole, and was the first of three Travis Tritt music videos that tell the story of a crippled veteran named Mac Singleton. Travis Tritt plays Mac, who's struggling through his time at a rehabilitation clinic after being injured in a war, and has nightmares about it every night. He meets a friend named Al (played by Barry Scott) after waking up from one of his nightmares. Mac is also struggling from being away from his wife Annie. It was featured in CMT's 100 Greatest Music Videos in 2004, where it ranked at #64

Soviet Reunion
[2004]
Lyrics & Music by James Earthenware
This song is partly about the tragic life of Léon Theremin, inventor of one of the of the first electronic instruments in the 1930's. He ended up owing too much money to banks to continue developing his futuristic devices. So he returned to Russia, only to be thrown into a concentration camp until he was released and forced to invent things of Military significance (such as the world's first bugging device).
I brought Albert Glinsky's biography of Theremin but I couldn't read it because it was too depressing. It is a great injustice that of the smartest people of the last 100 years could not find the freedom to pursue his dreams in either "Democratic" or "Socialist" states due to the respective economic and ideological restrictions that each culture imposed to discourage individuals them from pursuing anything idealistic or radical.

Protest Song
[2003]
Lyrics & Music by James Earthenware
Album: Prototype Jive
"If you ever see a compilation LP (Vinyl) called "Songs Of The Protest Era" it is absolutely one of the best records ever made. Every song features incredibly weird guitar sounds/timing changes, genius lyrics that cut to bone and most importantly the most naive and defiant melodies and harmonies ever written.
In my homage to the genre I think I got the lyrics right but my guitar playing is too post-punk and I don't have the angelic voice required to deliver the lyrical venom in a deceptively sweet voice.
People dug it when we performed this live with an ad lib harmonica solo in the middle. Don't like playing it anymore however because it doesn't fit in with the rest of the songs and it's too depressing..

Lyrics by David Kilpatrick
"Nope, it ain't traditional: I wrote this one. But one day you'll hear someone sing it and you'll think it's been around 150 years!
Sometimes you just pull a line out of the air, and for this one, I just sang the first verse out of nowhere. After that, it was easy to get the rest together. It's not like my usual singing but this is the way I thought it should sound. The tune is either traditional or so obvious and simple it should be"

On peut imaginer que le Turc en question serait un émule et un successeur d'Ali Agça qui le 13 mai 1981 tira trois balles Place Saint Pierre sur le pape de l'époque, Jean-Paul II. Comme il apparut par la suite, Ali Agça manqua son coup. Il est sorti de prison en 2010.

Album: Le radici e le ali
Una canzone stupenda dei Gang che parla dell'importanza di riprenderci la nostra libertà, anche se qualcuno, al potere, di continuo ce la nega.

The Last Conquistadors
[2002]
Lyrics & Music by David Kilpatrick
"A little song in a Latin rhythm with a Canarian timple (a five-string viheula-shaped ukulele) providing local colour! OK, it ain't flamenco, but it's the only song I've ever performed live on a flamenco guitar borrowed from a flamenco singer.
I'd been reading some of the 15th to 17th century original accounts of exploration, and the idea just came into my head. I have never before made a recording using the timple, which is an instrument only played in the Canary Islands, one of the staging posts for the New World. I had to learn to play it for this and it sounds very bright and quick; it's an instrument which could be used more".

Sono piccolina, mi chiamo Giorgia e scrivo con l'aiuto di mamma Barbara. A me questa canzone piace, è simpatica e carina. L'ho sentita per la prima volta perchè a Barbara piace Daniele Sepe che è il suo cantautore preferito, e da allora la sento quasi ogni giorno... Ho imparato a memoria il testo! Tanti bacioni da Trieste!

Però! E poi si dice che i ragazzini e le ragazzine non ascoltano che Tiziano Ferro! Qui ne abbiamo non una, ma addirittura due, che "tifano" per il "nostro" Daniele Sepe (dico "nostro" perché è da anni un frequentatore e un amico di questo sito). Che dire? Sarà l'aria di Trieste, città che un po' conosco... E un saluto e complimenti anche alla mamma! (RV)

Laidlaw's Last Lament
![Laidlaw's Last Lament](img/upl/785px-Cheshire_Regiment_trench_Somme_1916.jpg)
[2000]
Lyrics & Music by David Kilpatrick
An atmospheric Border Scots ballad in the auld tradition: how 'the Piper of Loos' saved the 7th Battalion of the King's Own Scottish Borderers in October 1915..
"The week before Armistice Day (November 11) 1999 a story was published in the Southern Reporter, researched by Bill Bruce, which neatly and emotively retold how Piper D L Laidlaw VC reversed the fortunes of a Border battalion fighting in the trenches of the Great War. I wrote the song in a moderate Border Scots dialect, which is easily understood, and played it locally. The lyrics were published by the newspaper. Like most of my songs, the inspiration was immediate and it took around 90 minutes to complete and a further hour to record. This is the second take. The pipes, ambient noise and gunfire effects are added on a Roland JV-50 keyboard and the rest is a one-take recording, playing a Lowden O-10 guitar in drop D tuning and singing. The recording is on a Roland VS-880".

Odisseo Elytis così descrisse nell'Axion Esti il Capitalista. Forse, nella tartaruga e nella pelliccia, c'è un po' troppo Onassis. Forse l'invisibilià non si adatta troppo al Nostro...Ma lo spirito è sempre quello. E al Nostro si può dedicare.
E' lui
l'invisibile nostro Giuda eterno!
Sette porte lo nascondono
e sette armate ingrassano al suo servizio.
Macchine volanti lo conducono
e pesante di tartaruga e di pelliccia
lo depongono dentro gli Elisi e le Case Bianche.
E non possiede lingua alcuna perché tutte sono sue -
E non possiede donna alcuna perché tutte sono sue -
l' Onnipotente!
I semplici stanno in ammirazione
e accanto al luccichio del cristallo i nerovestiti
sorridono e sobbalzano le tigri nude
degli antri del Licabetto!
Ma non c'è varco perché il sole faccia passare la sua fama nel futuro
e nessun giorno del Giudizio, poiché
noi fratelli, noi siamo giorno del Giudizio

Lyrics & Music by Henry Clay Work
"Let me refer you to the song, "KINGDOM COMING, The year of the Jubilo", written by Henry Clay Work whose father spent some time in prison for helping thousands, YES THOUSANDS of slaves to freedom on the underground railway. Mr. Clay was a "fire-breathing dragon" of an abolitionist. As far as I can remember them, the words to "Kingdom Coming", which he deliberately wrote in "Darky dialect".
By the way, he was from Hartford, born in Middletown, Connecticut.."
Parole e musica di Henry Clay Work (1832–1884), compositore e songwriter americano che scrisse le sue canzoni più famose durante la Guerra civile.
Non ci si lasci ingannare dall’uso da parte dell’autore di un ridicolo inglese “da negri”: Henry Clay Work era – come tutta la sua famiglia – un fervente abolizionista. La sua casa nel Connecticut divenne una tappa sull’Underground Railroad,... (Continues)
