ghost of Washington Phillips

To love about Washington Phillips:

- He alternates between force & fragility with more grace than should be possible.

- He uses “whom” properly (see also Andre 3000).

- He built his own zither-ish instruments.

- His introduction to this tune, which reconciles workmanlike duty with existential dread.

- His full name is George Washington Phillips, and patriotism is cool again.

- Listen!

Available on the Washington Phillips anthology Key to the Kingdom, & ensconced within 6 discs of Americana bacchanalia on Goodbye, Babylon.
