Piece Description
The song Hollis Brown was an early Bob Dylan favorite of mine back in the early sixties. I was reflecting on the current state of the world and all the anger and destruction and realized that we haven't come very far since I first heard that song. Now here we are, nearly 45 years later and it's starting to feel like the sixties out there in the distance. But life goes on... progress????
