Paula Boggs Band - Ebony Revisited

5. Ebony Revisited: When performed live, Paula often asks the audience to consider the concept “home.” Is “home” where we’re born, where we’ve lived longest, is it even a geographic place? The live performance is poignant opening with chord progressions that invite dreams or contemplation. The “Ebony Revisited” is Paula’s place of birth, Washington, DC. Paula left at age 4 and in returning as an adult the song describes her unfamiliarity and alienation — emotions many feel from time to time about something labeled “home.”
