Artist picture
George Potor and Joe DeCristopher both were raised in New Jersey in the 1950's and 60's, and schooled and settled in Pennsylvania, but they didn't meet until late 1979. Though they played occasionally as a duo, their first excursion as a band was with the ppits, a motley crew of seven (and sometimes more), full of political irreverence and fun. The ppits morphed into a quintet, Veto and the Hitmen, which like the ppits, performed twice on WVIA's Homegrown Music with a bundle of original tunes, mostly by George, by George. Over the last few years, George and Joe, with Rick Totten, formed Good Without One, the drummerless rock trio fueled by the retrograde administration of Cheney and W, spawning such gems as "Less Scratch, More Itch", "The Ballad of W, M.D. (Ducking Like a Quack)", "Above the Law", "Things Could Get Worse", and "The Gitmo Swing." The winds of change continue to blow, and George and Joe continue to collaborate, sometimes as a duo, sometimes with the help of others. Happily, Fred Strickland has come onboard with his 5-string bass, vocals & songwriting. They look forward to introducing new tunes, some political (George's "Low Infaux Voter", Joe's "Subprime Blues" and Fred's "Fox U"), some not, like the rocking "Inis Mor", named for the island off the coast of Ireland that George visited in the summer of 2008.

Story behind the song
Breathtaking stay on the Irish island of Inis Mor
Lyrics
1 Ancient Inis Mor, Gaeltacht, wild mountain thyme, Stones split long before Poets could praise them with rhyme. Slammed by the waves, Torn by the wind That rages. Maire Fhada, Bird of prey Nest against the grey. 2 Ocean mist below Limestone cliffs hung with gulls, Fragile branch is bowed, Clinging where nothing should grow. Slammed by the waves, Torn by the wind That rages. Maire Fhada, Holding still, Stares across the hill. 3 Rock fence divides Pastures that hug every wall. Cows graze beside Paths at the edge of a fall. Slammed by the waves, Torn by the wind That rages. Maire Fhada, Grey and white Helps her to survive. (2x)
