Here’s an EWB-centric KBCO Select-A-Set, created and submitted by our very own Zeke Houk, and played this past weekend. Nice work, Zeke!
The Denver Chapter of ‘Engineers Without Borders’ has projects in Africa and South America. In these developing places our new-found friends need clean water most of all. Fortunately our organization has men and women who do that kind of work every day.
The Engineers would like to hear:
Jackson Browne’s Lives in the Balance,
Johnny Clegg’s Scatterlings of Africa,
Take Me To the River by Talking Heads, and
With a Little Help From My Friends by The Beatles.
We have people working in Togo now, and another team on its way to Ecuador in April. After all, friends don’t let friends drink dirty water.
