The fourth electric guitar-filled track of the marvelous Ryan Scott Oliver musical 35MM: A Musical Exhibition, inspired by photos by the photography of phenomenal photographer Matthew Murphy, is "On Monday" sung by Betsy Wolfe.
The song sings the story of a brand new relationship - one partner wanting to move a little quicker than the other. In a press release announcing the cast album, composer Ryan Scott Oliver states "In 35MM, photos inspire songs. Sometimes the songs tell the stories of the photographs; other times the feeling, mood, or tone was captured; and in still others, the photographs are doorways into worlds by which a song comes to life."
Come along with us as we start the week watching 7 outstanding covers of this fabulous song.
