Wishful Thinking has just released their new EP, Looking Back, a collection of nine songs written in our youth as well as more
recent compositions, all reflecting our days growing up in Arlington, Virginia. Its songs celebrate the sweet pain of first love. The frigid absurdity of predawn swim meets. The fun of a ca****la singing. And the eternal pledges of lifelong friends, scribbled in aging pages. Of particular note, Don wrote and Frank Johnson (old bandmate) sings “Long Live Your Song,” a tribute to the late Dr. Robert Baxter, their beloved choir/madrigal director at Washington-Lee High School. We’re also grateful to Elaine K***z, Class of 1959, for the use of her winsome watercolor of the original W-L building, which she painted for her 50 th Class Reunion. You can order prints and cards of her painting here: https://www.elainekuntz.com/styled-2/
People say you shouldn’t live in the past. Maybe they’re right. But when you’ve been blessed with a youth and childhood like ours, there’s really nothing wrong with Looking Back.
Available on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes, and other music platforms.
