Tim Barry and Josh Small were recently invited to play Mary Munford Elementary, for Ms. Kieslers’ 2nd Grade Class. They not only played 3 songs which included 2 Woodie Guthrie renditions, but they also did a Munford Style version of “Shoulda Oughtta”. Their buddy, Dave Watkins, recorded the entire thing and the songs are available in mp3 format. I highly recommend everyone take a listen, the recording sounds great and the songs are so much fun with the backing gang vocals of the 2nd grade. After listening to the songs, I had the idea of asking Tim to let us put this out as a 7″. Tim and Josh could pose with the 2nd grade for the cover art. Let me know what you think.

That was the sweetest thing I’ve heard in a long time. I just felt the need to share that. As for the 7″ I have no opinion. I only get digital music now. I’m a bit of an enviro-nerd.
Totally put this out. Three great songs and it really shows his versatility…
I think that would be awesome.
Being from Richmond, this makes me smile so big! Thanks for posting this and a 7″ would be awesome.
