I wrote this track while doing jury duty. The first full day of staring down the Depression-era murals painted inside the Centre Street courthouse led to my reading Edward Anderson’s novel, Hungry Men on the second day and writing this piece on the third. The track is named for the flop-house band dreamed up by book’s protagonist, a down-on-his-luck musician who sleeps on the park benches with his musician brothers in Battery Park in Lower Manhattan.
