Notes: There was only one set of discs ever made of this show and the dat is long gone. There was 
a major furrow through the 1st 2 tracks of the second disc which rendered them unplayable. The 
show now fits on one disc.

I want to thank the Carbondale Council on the Arts & Humanities for all the free shows they have put 
on for the past decades, in a small town park. These are family events as evident by the pre-schoolers 
you will hear having fun early in the 2nd set.

  Notes: Phil
Sounds Excellent. True Digital SBD, except that it was patched
with analog cables and then reconverted to digital via Mark Schatz's D8.
His tape cuts at 2:04 mark, cable was then switched to another D8
to continue recording. I edited out blank space,and smoothed transition.
23 seconds missing total. Hardly noticable.

The All-New Whitehouse Blues
 lyrics by Tim O'Brien 11.09.00
All rights reserved
------------------------- 

Al Gore he hollered, Al Gore he squawled
This here election is too close to call
I might get back to Washington

George Bush Jr, a chip off the block
Thought he was winning, thought he had it locked
He winked and smiled, then it was gone

<banjo break>

Al Gore conceeded a little too soon
Now he's yellin', he's talkin'bout suin'
A normal day in Washington

Look here you rascals, see what you done
Screwed up the ballots and George Jr won
Another shrub in Washington

<hail to the chief break>

Tv projections, those evil exit polls
Twenty thousand ballots with one too many holes
Down in the state of Florida

Why fight the traffic and wait in the rain
One guy's a jerk and the other's a pain
I'll just go home and drink some beer

<fiddle break>

Clintons' in the white house, he's doin his best
Bush is in the bullpen, he wants all the rest 
For Texas oil in Washington

Senator Hillary stood by her man
He bought her a house up in New Amsterdam
Another house in Arlington

<mando break>

Look in the pockets of any billionaire
You'll see an elephant and a donkey in there
One on the left, one on the right

Dubya and Al, they have all the loot
Nader campaigns in a 50 dollar suit
They eat the steaks, he gets the greens

<banjo break>

Might be the springtime when this CD comes out
Maybe by then we'll know what it's all about
We'll see which clown got the job

Al gore hollered, Al Gore he squawled 
This here election is much too close to call
I might get back to Washington

<hail to the chief break and out>

==========================================

Hail to the cheif quotes throughout
8 pairs of verses originally, then trimmed to 6 pairs
extras verses that were scrapped:

I was on the tour bus when I wrote this song
If you got a good topic it dont take too long
Half an hour more or less

Patrick Buchanan he says to Larry King
All these botched ballots they don't mean a thing
Junior won it fair and square

the Grand Ol' Opry wont play this song
WSM would think it's morally wrong
I think I'll go to MP3

The U.S. people think they have a choice
The election's just a decoy disguised as a voice
Big money wins every time

---Notes---
Tim Carter does a separate mix for recording. 
Rare version of the Darrell original "Relatively Speaking", 
which he said he had not played in over 5 years.
First live version of "Bah Humbug", a new Tim original.
Rare version of Tim original "Making Plans" which is on
the Sugar Hill Christmas CD collection "Sugar Plums"
Probably the Best Show of 2000.
