"Me Symphony” starts with a funny account of Tracy losing all her various instruments as she traverses the globe performing. She wails, “I lost my tuba in Aruba, I lost my pian-a in Indiana” with her usual lyrical wit, contorting the words to make them rhyme. Before the song kicks in with the New Orleans style Preservation Hall romp, she realizes that she doesn’t need any instrument at all in order to put on a good show. Tracy is telling her audience that anyone can make music and anyone can get past limitations. This is a story of empowerment. It encourages freedom of expression and the bravery it takes to improvise. It harkens back to some of Tracy’s influences growing up as a young child in the 1970s such as Free To Be You and Me, Schoolhouse Rock! and Sesame Street.
