lyrics

Assertion

“I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world” - Walt Whitman

Matt Parker’s musical career interrupted by a pandemic, he took his frustrations to the roof where he blew his sax at top volume all night. When it all became just too much for neighbors who were not ready for this much catharsis, he self-exiled to the wilds of Vermont with his family and German Shepherd. He now sounds his barbaric yawp for the wolves and the bears.

Musical Notes: This song is in 5/4. Don’t count it! Just feel it!! Julian Edmond plays drum line. Just feel it!! The piano transforms the Professor Longhair Big Chief 4/4 polyrhythm. Just feel it!! The tenor sax YAWPS!!
