Inspired by a motherless child, Blue Is Just A Word blends music, the moral lessons of the Civil War, meditation, and deaths of a young wife and brother, to lay bare how anyone can become enslaved by anything; be it religious, political, social, or otherwise. As vice president of Lynn Massachusetts’ General Lander Civil War Roundtable, a lifetime member of The Lincoln Forum of Gettysburg, The Lincoln Group of Boston and past session musician for a major record label in London, England, Robert Foster exposes the eternal aristocratic sense of entitlement to enslave the weak to reveal our racial woes come from conflicts deep within all of us.
