Music

We’re all going to die at some point, and the sooner that realization really hits home, the sooner we can live our precious lives to the fullest. With that in mind, please join me as I sing a wide variety of songs about many different aspects of death.

Don’t worry. This won’t be a depressing morbid look at death. In fact, I’ll be including several songs about the liberation we can feel when we realize our inevitable deaths give our lives meaning and open the door for us to be the best we can be.

Doug Morris will be singing the music of Joe Hill and other music to fan the flames of discontent. Donations will support the Mid-Ohio Foodbank.

“We sing these songs to learn the history we were never taught in schools; we sing these songs because they are our songs, songs of the working people; we sing these songs to keep alive the spirit of resistance in the face of growing injustice, indignity, and inequality; we sing these songs to ‘fan the flames of discontent,’ to borrow a phrase from the Industrial Workers of the World’s ‘Little Red Songbook’.”
