Richard Peaslee\u2019s \u201cSongs of Love and War\u201d caught their attention. The music, compiled during the Vietnam era, puts the poetry of Lewis Cartoll, Carl Sandberg, and others to music. Since 2004, Kelley, McVean, and Iley have been refining and developing Peaslee\u2019s work into the musical that opened on Sept.13.<\/p>\n<p>The show runs weekends through Sept.30.
