Grassnost - A tongue-in-cheek title for sure, this title is based on the term Glasnost, which was popular when Mikhail Gorbachev was Head of State in what was then the Soviet Union. The Russian-like tune came first and I figured the title would get a few chuckles when I perform it live, which it often does -- along with a few groans and lots of puzzled looks. I guess, like a lot of things, you just had to be there. Orrin Star on guitar, Jens Kruger on banjo and Emory Lester on bass.
