Ah, were you in Boston in 1919? Were you in old Boston town? Molasses did flood like a brown wall of mud. Were you in old Boston town?
So begins my newly finished song about the Great Molasses Flood of January 15, 1919. If you click here for my SoundClick music page, Were You in Boston in 1919? will be the first song at the top. You are welcome to listen to it on-line or download it for free. That's me on lead vocals and guitar, Laura Munzer on back-up vocals, and Gina Tlamsa on fiddle.
By the way, I started writing the song in the summer of 2003 while attending George Ward's songwriting workshop at CDSS Pinewoods Camp near Plymouth, Massachusetts. Yes, it took me five years to complete.
