So, Hello Love follows four generations
of the Canadian Montgomery family
through World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and Afghanistan.
And it kind of talks about their ways of dealing with the war,
both at home and on the front lines.
And it's told through song and vignettes and letters.
War, per se, is a different vignette,
so they're both 20 minutes in length each.
They're interwoven as the stories go on,
but we get to meet the first couple, so Mary and
John, who are our World War I couple,
they kind of start the family tree.
And then we move on to our World War II couple,
Eugene and Betty, and then their son Michael,
who's Vietnam, and then his daughter Morgan,
who's War on Terror, who are in Afghanistan.
It started out as a thank you actually
to the Preston Legion for allowing us to rehearse in
their space. So they were so gracious
and we said you know what I'm gonna go home I'm gonna write
a little song for them they can do whatever they want with it
and I wrote this song called
Where Your Freedom Begins
and when I played it for Piper she went gotta make a really really good
show. So we sat down and decided what we wanted
to say with this little show and then all of a
sudden we were doing a show to thank the Legion
and then it kind of went beyond that.
