December 21, 1994: I performed at the Fat Albert's Christmas party


Thirty years ago today 

            On Wednesday I either picked up my daughter or Nancy dropped her off. I took her to the Fat Albert’s Christmas party. She sat on the stage while Tom Smarda and I performed his song “Don’t Forget Resurrection”: 

Oppress the poor because the doctor called police 
He didn’t want the homeless people sleeping by his church 
So he told the groundskeeper to tell them to leave
then made his pet confessions and had dinner with the priest 

Don’t forget about it 
Don’t forget about it 
Don’t forget resurrection 

From out here in the rain and the driving snow 
we can hear the hymns being sung by those 
who recover from heart attacks and when they come home
they set up their floodlights so the homeless don’t come near 
and if that doesn’t work they will call the police 
and while we’re in jail they will pray for world peace 

Don’t forget about it 
Don’t forget about it 
Don’t forget resurrection 

            My daughter stayed the night at my place.
