Lawrence Ferlinghetti poem:

Don't let that horse
eat that violin
cried Chagall's mother

But he
kept right on
painting

And became famous

And kept on painting
The Horse With Violin In Mouth
And when he finally finished it
he jumped up upon the horse
and rode away
waving the violin

And then with a low bow gave it
to the first naked nude he ran across

And there were no strings
attached

Formed 12/11/05 when I got my first recording device. Tragically, the drummer and bass player died in a fatal bout of reality when it occurred to me I don't play those instruments. . . yet.

The Beatles, The Jayhawks, Elliot Smith, Mason Jennings, raised on the classics from Son House to Bach, will listen to almost anything, love mellow, acoustic, folky genres, odd tuning, sweet harmonies and good pop.

Minneapolis

Ovation, occasional Mexican Strat, Zoom PS-04, Zoom A2, Behringer mics, Audacity and chutzpah.
