Col.G - Mighty Time

Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. USA

Col.G is G. Thompson, a Philadelphia area composer and musician well known for his unusual guitar work and his humorous singing and song writing style.

From his roots in the Philly deep underground of Punk and Blues to his modern day use of cutting edge music technology Col.G has always been able to get a smile out of someone with his music.

The song "Mighty Time" ties together The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, which collapsed the levee system along the Mississippi and Arkansas Rivers which left more than a thousand dead and almost a million people homeless, and Hurricane Katrina which did the same 78 years later. The beginning and the end of the songs pays tribute to John Lee Hooker who was a victim of the Tupelo Flood and went on to become one of the worlds greatest blues musicians. The main part of the songs tell the story of a victim of Hurricane Katrina from his point of view trapped on his roof waiting for rescue.
