A classic song by Alcivando Luz and Carlos Coqueijo; this version takes off from the 1973 interpretation by João Gilberto, and adds a few little twists. A song for a melancholy morning. Or afternoon. Or evening. Anytime really.

É Preciso Perdoar

Someone To Love You

This is a "Christmas" carol that sort of belongs in its own category. Enjoy.

Doug Yeager taking the lead, Bill Williamson giving a steady bottom, Brad Wigger rocking the groove, and Chris Elwood chugging along with the rhythm. Whew!

You’re All I Need to Get By (live)

Live from The Bard's Town 01.21.2017. This may be our signature song.

Take Time (live)

A few revisions to this medley...
The original is "He's So Fine" by Ronnie Mack, a hit for the Chiffons in 1963 back when JFK was president and a special, brand new Rambler American 440 coupe rolled off the assembly line in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Mundo Brew gives this their own interpretation, with a little gender switch-around -- and they tag onto it a little confection that brings out its inner spirituality. Dedicated to my finest and sweetest one, in her birthday month.

You Can’t Always Get What You Want (In the Halls of Congress)

No Christmas (For You)
© 2019 Chris Elwood songs

I voted for the bill that makes the richest richer still
And then I came out for some holiday cheer
While making immigration cease I’m rooting for the Prince of Peace
So barkeep pour me out an ice cold beer
Let this party be my treat
‘Cause we’re keeping out the folks
Who haven’t anything to eat
Hey now Baby Jesus
Let’s all have a real good time.

The bartender said
There ain’t no Christmas for you, brother
No Christmas for you
You’re feathering your nest
Making everyone depressed
So there ain’t no Christmas
Ain’t no Christmas
Ain’t no Christmas
Ain’t no Christmas for you

I’m working for polluters and the last of nature’s looters
And just look at that economy
You don’t have to sell your soul because we’re bringing back that coal
So waiter let’s do this gastronomy
I want to kill the fatted calf
‘Cause Mary had a baby
And Joseph surely had a laugh
Hey now Baby Jesus
Let’s all have a real good time.

Now the waiter said
There ain’t no Christmas for you, sugar
No Christmas for you
You know you’re trampling the poor
We got to send you out the door
There ain’t no Christmas
Ain’t no Christmas
Ain’t no Christmas
Ain’t no Christmas for you

I’m making us secure, if you are white I’ve got a cure
For all your cultural anxiety
The brown folk have a place, the s-hole lands have lots of space
So why tag me with notoriety
I just want to celebrate
All that lovely piety
That made the master races great
Hey now Baby Jesus
Let’s all have a real good time.

Let the people say
There ain’t no Christmas for you, honey
No Christmas for you
You know you haven’t got a clue
About what Jesus came to do
So there ain’t no Christmas
Ain’t no Christmas
Ain’t no Christmas
Ain’t no Christmas for you

No Christmas (For You)

Tudo Bem

The Morning (So Much Love)

The nucleus of this song was written in Kingston, JA in 2018 in response to the travails of persons and communities living the legacy of colonial and neocolonial violence—and with particular concern for the bereaved survivors of the 2010 Tivoli Gardens Massacre—by an international group of teachers, artists, and guardians of faith communities.
