Sunny Day (with traditional Irish jig, "Paddy's Leather Britches")
-
...incorporates a verse from the Robert Frost poem, “Nothing Gold Can Stay”, and challenges the premise of the poem, which is a lament to the passage of youth. With all due respect to Mr. Frost, several of us in the band are happy to report that “Post Youth Life” is pretty darn wonderful, and that perhaps the best way to view life is less as a line and more as a circle. The tune begins with a meditation on the poem, followed by our retort with a jig, to clarify exactly how we are feeling today! Come dance with us!
