JD Carroll

JD Carroll has been writing music since before paper was invented. Originally, he carved his lyrics into wood tree limbs and etched them onto slabs of soft stone. This was a durable but extremely time consuming way to record his music. Unfortunately, most of his early writings were destroyed in the second apocalypse. Luckily, his music had become very popular within the Neanderthal community and was held in great esteem by that promising species. It was passed along though word of mouth for centuries; it evolved as it was passed down from generation to generation. Somewhere in the past his music crossed over to the homo-sapiens and moved on into the more modern world.When his good friend, Johannes Gutenberg, started fooling around with his new printing press JD suggested to Johannes that he turn out some of JD's music to test the usefulness and practicality of the new gadget. Much to JD's dismay, Gutenberg decided to go with the money and print Bibles instead. This caused a major riff

    Entre Acte

    Coreen takes the lead on this one. She sings a haunting chide of self absorbed patron of the Lost Oasis.

  12. 6

    Traveling Salesman Blues

    This is a first person lament told by part time scoundrel, Romando Pitts. He stays at the boarding house but is "asked" to leave after he makes advances on Natalie. Danny takes the lead vocal on this tune and it is delivered in a Rat Pack swing mode that makes the story all the more real.

  18. 0
