song 113 : Tacoma Ballet (Tacoma Ballet)
This is the second song about the Japanese internment camp kids.
Tacoma Ballet’s bells are played by Ronnie on a guitar processed through an Electro Harmonix Frequency Analyzer.
The children playing and dogs barking were on a sound effects LP producer Wes Weresch had been saving for the day when a band would record a song about the subject.
Manzanar Recess had captured the aggressive side of the internment camp experience in America, but what about the sympathy I was feeling for the children.
I’m surprised how many listeners didn’t catch the irony when I sing about god and jesus. Not a religious affirmation, a poke at those religious warriors who in the name of misguided self righteousness harm the innocent while mouthing clichés of faith.
