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
A trip though Georgia...the stuff was everywhere!!
Lyrics
1 Story of a vine that was growing in Japan; They brought it over here to decorate the land. Government loved it; said it's ornamental, It'll stop erosion, It's nothing detrimental Kudzu vine, it's hairy It's scary, Kudzu vine, ate the South, Get it out. Kudzu Kreep 2 Try to cut it down or spray it from a plane; It'll cover up your town 'cause it grows a foot a day. There's herbicide that helps the plant to grow better. Makes more sense to try to change the weather. Kudzu vine, that crop Won't stop, Kudzu vine, ain't clover, It takes over. Kudzu Kreep 3 Angora goats are one way to beat it. Alcoholic mice stay sober if they eat it. Make it into hay cut it low, bale it high. Cook it up in quiche, eat it deep-fried. Kudzu vine, seemed to be The bees' knees, Kudzu vine, it's southern, Just love it. Kudzu Kreep, Kudzu Kreep
