I tried listening to Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys tracks. The rage and volume of Punk just isn't my kind of music, I guess. (I can almost make out what the Dropkick Murphys are screaming about, but I'm far past speed listening these days.) So I'll drop anchor in St. John's, instead, where anger and bitterness trot along at Folk speed. (This was The Great War, after all.)
I found Great Big Sea's "Play" CD at the annual Hawaii State Library book fair. For once, it wasn't a hot, humid, windless day, and the music CD is just as relatively cool. I thought of a picture of seagulls, but this song is a kind of road tale.
