The Trials and Tribulations

About Me

The Trials and Tribulations is Jameson Lavo, and many others. We write sad songs about running away to, and from, cold geographic locations.
"....to Alaska" object width="425" height="344" .. NOTE: The fiddle in this is much louder than everything else due to the location of the camera. So just let your imagination balance it out. Even then, Desi's fiddle playing still melts faces.
"We'll Be Alright" Live @Pearl Street 05/18/08
"You Are My Sunshine" Live @Pearl Street 05/18/08
"Which Side Are You On" by Pete Seger
