Exciting Milan!! It has been a while since we added new songs to the song book!! Hi Vera, Park Forest, eh? I went to grade school in Matteson! Jim Wiegel Theunknown is what is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybodyscurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, allthat. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plainsailing.

I wish I could explain you. Oh 2020, Oh 2020! I wish we could forget you! Election wars, pandemic cruel How did the world survive you? Oh 2020, Oh 2020! I wish we could embalm you! In wintertime, we sang and danced Our stock portfolios quite enhanced Then springtime came, our bubble burst And summer gave no respite. When autumn fell, we breathed a sigh With Joe and Kamela riding high But Trump refused to quit the race He’ll hang around forever. Oh 2020, Oh 2020! The frontline workers, heroes The year rolled on, the death toll rose Our Pres. looked more like Nero Black lives mattered not so much Until George Floyd was murdered Then some woke up to feel the pain And future hope revived again. Oh 2020, Oh 2020! We wish we could explain you Oh 2020, Oh 2020! We wish we could redeem you. The climate crisis coming fast With not much time before we pass Oh 2021, Oh 2021! We hope you will forgive us!
