Che Apalache, "The Dreamer," // GemsOnVHS™

A big congratulations to the boys in Che Apalache for their Grammy nomination for "best folk album" this year. When I heard them playing at Station Inn earlier this year, I heard something special coming off the stage. An incredible performance by folks who believe music has real power. We talked a bit about folk music in particular, and Joe Troop mentioned that famous Woody Guthrie quote: "It's a folk singer's job to comfort disturbed people and to disturb comfortable people". I found that fitting, as this song directly reminded me of that famous Guthrie song, Deportee. Written almost 70 years ago now, detailing the tragic plight of migrant workers. This song, a true story inspired by a man named Moises Serrano from North Carolina, Joe writes the struggles those innocent folks caught in the middle of the immigration debate go through. The undocumented children of immigrants, who crossed the border when they were young. Many have never been to their country of origin since, some don't even speak the language of their birthplace at all. Yet they live in fear of being sent there, losing the only home they've known and loved, the US of A!
