China Mouth (live 1981)

As part of this month's atypical series recounting long past live performances from my youth, this is an original song from a lo-fi tape of the LYL Band performing at the University of Minnesota's Wiley Hall in 1981. "China Mouth" is a Surrealistic discontented Summer song, somewhat of a contrast to the LYL Band's usual early Eighties repertoire that focused on satire and comment on current events and social issues.   The Parlando Project combines various words (usually others' literary poetry) with original music in differing styles. We've done over 800 of these combinations, and you can hear any of them or read more about the 1981 concert that this song was performed at by going to our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
