A witty, off-center view of the world from the reference librarian of modern folk music. Songs about love, guilt, slavery, Passover, and iguanas.
Bio / Background
When he isn't writing songs about iguanas, slavery, and guilt, Rob Lopresti is generally found at the reference desk of a university library, helping astonished students discover that Google does not yet contain the entire sum of human knowledge. He also writes fiction - his new mystery novel SUCH A KILLING CRIME is set in the Greenwich Village folk scene, 1963.
And, of course, he plays the autoharp. Rob was raised in New Jersey, as a couple of the songs on his album make clear, but he has lived in the Pacific Northwest since 1987.
The album contains eighteen songs, all of which Rob wrote. Themes include family, relationships that go wrong, and having the courage to do what needs to be done. Here are notes on a few of the songs.
"Fifteen Iguana" is a true story. A bunch of iguanas were pulled off a Caribbean island in a hurricane and survived a 200 mile trip on an old tree trunk. Rob thinks the song is so popular because people like to sing the iguana part in the chorus.
