liberal ranting and raving, but sensitive explorations of the current American malaise
Good Without One was a drummerless and mercifully leaderless rock trio performing off the track and often humorous, often political originals and originally arranged covers. The players are George Potor, guitar and vocals, Joe DeCristopher, guitar and vocals, and Rick Totten, bass and vocals. These folks have played together in different contexts for decades, but only as this particular trio from 2003 - 2008. While the level of musicianship is high, their disdain for the trappings of rock stardom is legendary. Two of the members even remained seated throughout performances, despite no obvious physical impairments. Their drummerless approach was a novel but occasionally successful scam to get electric instruments into acoustic venues.

Story behind the song
Some years back, the Pennsylvania Legislature with due disregard for separation of church and state, passed a resolution disapproving of the scheduling of baseball and hockey games by three Pennsylvania franchises on Good Friday.
Lyrics
Important men in Harrisburg got nothing better to do. Good Friday makes them holy, so I write down this song for you Phillies and Flyers and Pirates, too, They all got a big game to play But the good men in Harrisburg Don't like it on Good Friday, and so they say How can they play on Good Friday and Cheapen the name of the lord? How can they play on Good Friday, It should be against the law Kissing babies and shaking hands A resolution they wrote Isn't this an election year? Don't unholy people vote? Important men in Harrisburg Don't want your children to stray No hypocrites in Harrisburg Do they get enough pay? And so I say What do they do on Good Friday To cheapen the name of the lord? Do they get paid on Good Friday? It should be against the law! (©Joe DeCristopher, 1986)
