"Sound of Silence" - Marsh Family adaptation (on Braverman) of Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel's classic

Yesterday it was described by one mainstream newspaper as "one of the most excruciating media clips to circulate in recent weeks" (https://www.indy100.com/politics/suel.... And that's saying a lot, if anyone's been following the media. This song casts Alfie and Thomas, inevitably, as Simon & Garfunkel in a homage to their haunting classic "Sound of Silence" recorded in 1964 and - to our amazement as we discovered in researching it - originally titled "The Sounds of Silence" (which led to lots of arguments about which words to use). The rest of us support them with vocals, instruments (including some extra mandolin, violin, and cornet compared to the original). It pays tribute to the effective strategy of the protesters in Cambridge who refused to take the bait when offered, and used silence to humiliate an attempt by politician to exploit their actions for their own ends and headlines. Our followers will have met the politician in question before in our music...but this one's less of an earworm. ___________________________ Support us here: Kickstarter for our summer 2024 campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

And a sign said, “Openly Jewish Against Visible Genocide” But she walked by. They’d dissed her with the sounds of silence. ___________________________ Special thanks as ever reserved for our magnificent Howlers (the top category of supporters on Patreon): Alyssa Sangeeta Jacobson Memorial Fund Sandra Vernooy Dan Mccolm Patricia Saucier Ronald Slye Todd Jim the Magician Douglas Lind David Ryan Simon Haslam Dave Lee Lew Mike Smith Andy Riches Cliff Hope Carol Leff Derrick Brown Grandad David Patrao Geeta & Karen
