Red Delicious - a podcast by Camp Ramah in the Berkshires

"Red Delicious" - like the well known apple. Music and Lyrics are primarily attributed to Jeff Weisz, though this stands as the first true collaboration of Jeff, Jacob Sandler and Adam Weingarten pitching in on the lyrics as well. Jacob Sandler arranged the intense harmonies on the bridge and sings lead in that section "See what you've done" and the Low Bass-y "your song has now been sung." The rest is Jeff on lead vocals and guitar, Adam on back-up and darbuka, and Josh Erlich and I filling in the back up vocal harmonies as usual.

Red Delicious is a great admiration for the biblical imagery of the Garden of Eden and allusions to the Snake, the apple and Methusaleh who was the oldest living person recorded in the book of Genesis (969 years). Interesting point about that, scholars today believe that the years of early genesis were based on a fully lunar calendar, making the year a mark of the lunar cycle--meaning in actuality Methusaleh might have only lived 969 months (or 80 years). Still remarkable for that time, but much more believable in today's modern terms.
