      I've seen that said, but surely he's working with a crew on the video and sound production? He's doing all the characters and harmonies, though. I suspect the lyrics are all his too, as there's a consistency throughout.
      Don is one seriously talented guy. I'm actually a little bit sorry some of these are parodies of other songs. Lie, Lie, Lie should be an original as it's one of the best songs lyrically I've ever heard.

      Wendy Waters yes, I know, but sometimes he collaborates with freedom toast. At one point I had names for each of his characters, but they do keep changing.🖤🇨🇦

    I am sure Pete Seeger would have appreciated this. "Where have all the Flowers gone" is one of the songs I grew up with and it is still one of my all time favourites. I first heard it sung by Peter, Paul & Mary and my first recording of it was by Joan Baez. Ever considered using one of Joan´s songs?

    Damn I miss those kinds of harmonies. You perform them flawlessly too, Don.
    When I was growing up, all my musically inclined friends and I would sit around for hours doing that stuff. Everly Bros, CSNY, Simon and Artie. And John Stewart (Kingston Trio) was my muse.And my band does classic rock, not folk.
    Don't think I even know any singers these days
    So, thanks for the musical treat as well as the biting social commentary.
    I have become a huge fan today.
