Bad Grades

A song inspired by a news story about an adolescent who shot some people because, as he said, he had bad grades. This was the first and only performance of this song - the purpose of our work is to allow these songs to 'write themselves" as they are played. The lyrics are written in advance, but that's all. No rehearsal, no prior discussion.
Ron Hankison, keyboard and vocals; Thom Dunn, saxophone and dance; Charlie O'Hanlon, guitar and vocals; Roy Capenos, drums; Tom Lamb, bass. From a performance honoring Brian McHale (who comes into the room halfway through the song).

Excellent! I've heard tell of this legendary song. I might have even heard the audio track previously. Exciting performances from all. Charlie's dual mic backup vocals and Thommy's choreography lend a note of terpsichorean grace to the proceedings.
