Bongo Bassist Rob Norris Walks Through ‘The Golden Door’
Bongos bassist, Rob Norris
“The Golden Door,” by Jim Metzner, came out last week. He must have been thinking about what is inscribed on The Statue Of Liberty when he wrote it. It’s a heartbreakingly profound tale of immigration and the promise America holds for “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
Metzner is the creator and longtime host of Pulse of the Planet on National Public Radio. The personnel on the song includes Bibi Farber on guitar and organ, the beautiful voices of Ars Choralis, violist Megan Gugliotta, guitarist Stuart Leigh, plus Rob Norris from Hoboken’s Bongos.
