The Blue Eyed Boston Boy
Track 11. I couldn't resist this, being a Blue-Eyed (narcissistic?) Boston Boy myself. It is, in fact, a heartbreaking song about the futility of conflict. with Matt Heaton on nylon strung guitar, and Corey Dimario on bass. I play banjo, fiddle, viola, stomp my foot, and sing.
