Song 76: Torn Screen Door, David Francey

My friend in the great Halifax band Grassmarket invited me to a David Francey concert in Dartmouth's Celtic Corner a few years back. His music is elegant, traditional and seems like it was written fifty years ago - the stories are so familiar.

Torn Screen Door combines themes you'd see in other Francey material to form a beautiful tapestry of a song - there's a couple's romantic walk, a reminder of things that history has broken, an unforgiving economy that leaves people behind.
