Ríu, ríu, chíu, la guarda ribera,
Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera
[With a cry of] Ríu, ríu, chíu, the kingfisher, God kept the wolf from our Lamb
El lobo rabioso la quiso morder
Mas Dios Poderoso la supo defender
Quíso la hacer que no pudiese pecar
Ni aun original esta virgen no tuviera.
The raging wolf sought to bite her
but God Almighty knew to defend her
He chose to make her so that she could not sin
no original sin was found in that virgin.

Aaron Tap Los Angeles, California
Aaron Tap is terrible at branding. So he releases shit from both his current band Frank Shirts and, lately, the resurrected
Boston trio Betty Goo, and maybe someday even a solo record. There are themes, yeah, but mostly it's whatever spirit moves the music that decides what name it goes by.
Aaron also plays and sings with Matt Nathanson, the Paula Kelley Orchestra, and Populuxe.

I used to be more actively *in* this band but I play guitar on this, their best, record. Love it!

Ok, so I'm a little Boston-centric. But this album is so good, my label was gonna put it out before we closed up shop instead.
