Here's my song "Victory Garden". Written in the early days of the pandemic. It's a piney civic hymn that imagines a better world. It was recorded at the Art Boutiki in San José at a show celebrating Joe Biden's inauguration. How strange things have turned out.

Yep. Sounds like the America I love. Liberty and justice for all my people.
This should be televised daily.
Diversity is our strength, no matter what racist, bigoted Republicans say.
Real Americans embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.
Real Americans reject Trump and his white nationalist cronies.
Trump is bad, project 2025 is bad and the people who love America, the real patriots reject both.
