My youngest daughter Moheka X was just learning to read when she asked me "Who is Polyester?" After we read about it she helped me compose this song. And this song is to acknowledge the polyester world and procced accordingly. The song is rooted in a stomp style and the words and vocables are often switched up and improvised depending on the feeling
