"My Brothers"

By Daniel Clancy

Brother’s keeper
Brothers no weaker
Brothers lost brothers seeker

Brothers hurting
Brothers cried
Brothers died by suicide

Brothers love
Brothers hate
Brothers meet at heavens gate

Brothers fight
Brothers crawl
Brothers carry you when you call

Brothers stumble
Brothers fall
Brothers there when you lost it all

Brothers shot
Brothers maimed
Brothers love stays the same

Brothers begging on their knees
Brothers scattered overseas
Brothers buried while mothers plead

Brothers found
Brothers on the ground
Brothers pieces all around

Brothers here
Brothers there

One things for sure no love compares
Like a brother’s love when no one cares.

This week on the Savage Wonder podcast…

Air Force spouse Ashley Gutermuth

turned down a surefire career as a flight investigator and inspector to pursue stand-up comedy. Not only was she not deterred by the pandemic, she succeeded in navigating the Zoom comedy world, finding corporate gigs and continuing to hone her craft. Finding a way to tell jokes and not fully derail her husband's career, Ashley is a natural comic who is just hitting her stride and taking the military community along with her.

Folks - the Parlor is back!

Starting this Saturday night, downtown Cornwall is once again the place to see great theater with Joshua Harmon’s 2018 Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle award winning dramady Admissions. Drinks, dessert, a hilarious live performance, professional actors, an intimate unforgettable space, pay-what-you-can tickets…it simply does not get better than this.

I’m not going to lie, we’re poking the bear a little with Admissions. It’s not a traditional comedy. It’s a provocative yet even-handed look at the college admissions process and the hypocrisies, gaffes, primal screams, and noble intentions behind race-based admissions. Issues of race, class, and privilege are confronted head-on with Joshua Harmon’s straightforward, unsparing, blunt dialogue. It’s a night of satire, drama and social commentary that will leave you questioning, laughing, and shaking your head.

As always, you’re welcome to show up and hope for a cancellation. But if you really want to see the show, why not book now and save yourself the uncertainty?
