Episode: Sparsely Paid (And Barely Part-Time) by The Suffolk and Goode Players
Description: The Suffolk and Goode Players take on the Gig Economy in this parody of "Scarborough Fair/Canticle," an old English folk tune arranged by Martin Carthy and Paul Simon, who also added some lyrics and recorded it with Art Garfunkel. Our version had lyrics by Dale Leopold, Chris Mezzolesta arranged it and played acoustic guitar, bass guitar and virtual harpsichord and bells, and sung by Chris, Lori Furth and Karyn O'Bryant. Like the SandG version, there's a "Canticle" counter-melody that takes aim at the greed and callousness of those at the top. Enjoy!
