Guitars and vocals: Emily Anderson Reasoner and Cindy Neal Carpenter.

From Janis: “The Pearls” are Emily Anderson Reasoner and Cindy Neal Carpenter. They’ve been making music together since meeting in 1981; their first show was a warm-up set for Ram Dass! Living in western North Carolina, between them they have the most varied interests of anyone in the Better Times Project – gardening, dog fostering, heritage interpretation, environmental education, folk guitar, birding, gardening, animal rescue, and old time banjo. They  have no website, they’re not spending a lot of time on social media – they’re just making music because they love making music. A very human way to live, if you ask me!

BETTER TIMES WILL COME
(Janis Ian)

Better times, better times will come.
Better times, better times will come.
When this world learns to live as one,
oh, better times will come

When we greet each dawn without fear
knowing loved ones soon will be near
When the winds of war
cannot blow any more
Oh, better times will come

CHORUS

Though we live each day as our last
we know someday soon it will pass
We will dance, we will sing
in that never-ending spring
Oh, better times will come

CHORUS
