A Song that ponders how one class differs from another and how each class has its opinion of the other.

Artist picture
At this point the band is fundementally a sextet. I'm hoping to release two companion CDs that are right now known simply as Black and Blue.
Award winning composer since the age of 15 and still doing what comes naturally. A pianist now and since early lessons with Oscar Peterson's sister Daisy Sweeney. After a courtship with guitar and bass through a journey of rock and country the natural progression was back to the piano and jazz to form a Canadian band called the jazzmongers! which recorded two CDs and had seen much success via film, television and radio. Just put Ken Skinner or jazzmongers! in a search engine for more on that phase of development.

Story behind the song
Sharron McLeod who you hear singing this brought me to her music as sideman where I first heard this song. Sharron came by the song through Rodney Kendrick who was pianist for Abbey Lincoln at the time. The song itself however is credited to Rhonda Ross who just happens to be the daughter of Diana Ross. At the time of the recording Sharron had a son with Rodney named Niles who is the spitting image of his Dad. Those were good days and I remember vividly how I scrambled to help Rodney get to the Toronto airport on time while I had never driven there before. Needless to say, Rodney is gifted. Sharron and Rodney parted ways and Rodney later married Rhonda.
Lyrics
Maybe later.
