Eagle River resident Paul Sangl plays in a band called Free Gratis, which has made appearances around the state including at this year’s Anchorage Folk Festival. He wrote “Ain’t it Funny” as a snapshot of how perceptions have changed.
Sangl said of the song: “I wrote this as I thought about how we’re all doing things a little differently these days; things that would have seemed odd or funny, in the not too distant past, are now somehow our new normal and not so funny anymore.”
