Artist picture
George Potor and Joe DeCristopher both were raised in New Jersey in the 1950's and 60's, and schooled and settled in Pennsylvania, but they didn't meet until late 1979. Though they played occasionally as a duo, their first excursion as a band was with the ppits, a motley crew of seven (and sometimes more), full of political irreverence and fun. The ppits morphed into a quintet, Veto and the Hitmen, which like the ppits, performed twice on WVIA's Homegrown Music with a bundle of original tunes, mostly by George, by George. Over the last few years, George and Joe, with Rick Totten, formed Good Without One, the drummerless rock trio fueled by the retrograde administration of Cheney and W, spawning such gems as "Less Scratch, More Itch", "The Ballad of W, M.D. (Ducking Like a Quack)", "Above the Law", "Things Could Get Worse", and "The Gitmo Swing." The winds of change continue to blow, and George and Joe continue to collaborate, sometimes as a duo, sometimes with the help of others. Happily, Fred Strickland has come onboard with his 5-string bass, vocals & songwriting. They look forward to introducing new tunes, some political (George's "Low Infaux Voter", Joe's "Subprime Blues" and Fred's "Fox U"), some not, like the rocking "Inis Mor", named for the island off the coast of Ireland that George visited in the summer of 2008.

Story behind the song
George wrote this for the 9/30/12 Frack Awareness Coalition concert. The goal was to celebrate water in all its forms and uses.
Lyrics
1 Cool, clear, water, Rain, snow, and ice. All kinds of weather Flow from the sky Raindrops keep this thirsty world Half full Melting ice might feed an empty Valley Morning mist that wakes the sleeping Soil Always CHORUS: Words for water, thoughts remain, Precious water, floats away. Where’s the water? Such abundance underground, Condensation from the clouds. Where’s the water? 2 One stream will run Days before it’s still Circle’s begun Every cup is filled Spin the wheel that grinds the grain For flour Open up the gates to ease This crises Turn a turbine, can’t you feel the Power Rising? CHORUS 3 Drink deep and long Bathe beneath the stream Send the sky your song Ancient peoples’ dream Might be liquid, might be gas, Or crystal Depending on the pressure that it’s Under Break it down to only its Essential Wonder CHORUS
