You can blame Janis Ian for this one! In fact, you should go to "janisian.com" and learn all about the Better Times Project -- which this video was inspired by (and also about Janis' Pearl Foundation). Go right now. I'll wait...
Ah, you're back. Good. Anyway, this is Janis' song "Better Times Will Come", or at least, my interpretation of it. Janis has given the tune to several other musicians, all of them much better than me, and so their interpretations are also out there to be explored.
"Better Times Will Come" is a great sing-along song in the tradition of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and other well-known folk singers.
And as is traditional here, this is a First Take production: just me in the basement, with no post-processing or fixing of mistakes (all of which are mine!). I hope you enjoy, and I hope that if you're not familiar with all of Janis' fantastic oeuvre (and if you're not, why not?) then go and listen to her music: you'll become a fan of hers like me and Denise!
