This is a live recording of my brother Edward singing Old Man River with the Colorblind James Experience at the Market Street Music Hall in Oswego, NY in August of 1982.  It was a pretty rowdy, drunken crowd and I don't think they quite knew what to make of this opera singer taking the stage.  You can hear catcalls throughout.  But he won 'em over and you can hear it in the applause.  What a voice.  I miss you, Ted.

Edward Marshall with the Colorblind James Experience

Step 1: vox and several guitars going in both directions

Grief walks in and sits across from you
Grief doesn’t ask about your day
Grief will appear just to say “I’m here
And I’ve been looking for a place to stay
I’ve been looking for a place to stay”

The soul is a home in which are many rooms
Grief picks the one it likes the best
Sometimes it invites you to visit for awhile
Sometimes it is your unwanted guest
Sometimes it is your unwanted guest

Grief never leaves and grief never dies
Nor does it forever show its face
At times it seems to wander down these many halls
Leaving just an echo in its place
Leaving just an echo in its place
