Satire, Current Events and the art of Music
Joel Gelpe, a formally trained musician and
composer, is in the final stages
of completion
of his CD entitled "Civility in America". A
collection of brilliantly
composed pieces inspired
by current events. With a barrage of pro
session players
and vocalists from the NYC
and Westchester theater scene these tracks
came together
quickly with lots of fun for both
myself, the players and Joel.
The Title "Civility in America" gives us a laughing
look at Vice President Cheney's
little "outburst"
at Senator Pat Leahy in the senate earlier last
month. With
an outstanding orchestration,
arrangement and lyrics, this track is sure to
get
a good laugh and hopefully bring to light that even the VP is a little bit
of human too.
"Shut Up" is an outright blast at the Fox New Network and Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity in particular
