How They Fool Ya – by Nick Driscoll

When I first wrote and performed a parody of a Leonard Cohen classic, the reviews were unanimous – I should not quit my day job. Comparisons were made not to the late, great Mr. Cohen but rather to fingernails on a chalkboard or a screeching cat.

Thankfully, my oldest son Nick can carry a tune. Please enjoy his rendition of How They Fool Ya, and let me know if you think his version is an upgrade from mine.
