about

Day three I figured out how to hook up my old keyboard. The USB interface was no longer supported, but the midi connection still worked and I was able to get some groovy organ tunes going. I was thinking about the disparities in society, how in a moment of crisis they are all revealed like suddenly seeing the elephant in the room exposed for all to see. I am part of a grant project examining the root causes of disparities in health outcomes. Our focus is on racism and the culture of white supremacy as the root cause. The song doesn't quite make it to that, but it is moving in that direction, like some thing is about to start and the crowd is joining in. I think I drew inspiration for the, "Hey!" shouts from The Fawns. That and thinking about my dad joking about the Beatles and pop music when I was a kid, saying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
