The Remains Release New Song, About the Red Sox, “Monbo Time”
POSTED April 14th, 2010
50% of Proceeds to benefit cancer research and treatment
With the 2010 baseball season underway, The Remains are releasing a new song, “Monbo Time,” that is meant, in part, to be a tribute to the 1960s Red Sox pitching ace, Bill Monbouquette. In support of Monbouquette’s battle against leukemia, and Remains keyboard player Bill Briggs’ recent bout with bladder cancer, The Remains, and their co-lyricists, have pledged to donate 50% of the revenues they receive to cancer research and treatment.
David Levin, a New York City public school teacher who grew up in the Boston area and is a diehard Red Sox fan, and Fred Cantor, who produced the stage musical, “All Good Things,” and the documentary, “America’s Lost Band,” both about The Remains, collaborated with members of The Remains, Barry Tashian and Vern Miller in writing “Monbo Time.”
“Monbo Time” is intended to capture several aspects of a Red Sox fan’s experience, ranging from going to Fenway Park for the first time, to the passage of time from the perspective of a longtime fan.
The song will be available on iTunes and other online outlets.
