From Janis: Along with his band “The Kents” (now known as “Heaps”), Warren recorded one of my favorite songs, “The Stakes”. You can see that video here and check out their newer material here.  At my request, Warren created a completely different sound for his take on this song, giving it a depth and loneliness I’ve rarely run across. Oh, and he marks the third member of the Frank family to join us – check Kevin Frank‘s coloring pages, and Renee Frank‘s video. Talented folks!

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
