Drag Queen is an original song by Dawson Graham. Despite the title, the Song has nothing to do with transvestites.
It is, in fact, a tribute to Sandy Rose, a member of Dawson’s family, who died of cancer in early 2015. Rose’s husband Jerry drag races a Fiat Topolino in Dawson’s home country – New Zealand. The Fiat, pictured here, is called Little Mouse.
This version of Drag Queen is an off the desk live blast from The Shed. It features what has been a relatively stable line-up of Shedders of late. The recording was cut about the third time we played the song.
Drag Queen is the first song we have posted on our website that features Steve Faggotter. Welcome aboard the good ship PBGB Steve !
