IT WAS OUR ENCORE, the last song of the night by our folk chamber ensemble THROUGH THE TREES with some special musical guests, at a January 2026 concert in West Virginia’s capital. We picked a song that is performed an estimated 10 million times a year. You probably know it ... youtu.be/gELNEliWMQg
COMPARE & CONTRAST: A Presidential Acid Test:
That is a serious alternative reality portal he gazes into when he shaves in the morning looking into his bathroom mirror. He sees 'One of the Greatest ...' We see: 'Handmaiden to Fascism ...'

My roadtrip began with the biggest version ever of Mona Lisa in Columbus & ended with an inspiring community bike ride in Sandusky, Ohio. In between are photos of Middle America & musings on the thugs, bullies & abominables trying to hijack the place.
