The music available here is a mix of studio and home demo recording. The demo tracks are of, shall we say, uneven sound quality, but have their own charms nonetheless. Thanks for checking them all out.

Story behind the song
In "My Little Chickadee" there's a scene where W.C. Fields is preening in preparation for deflowering his new bride, Mae West. I took a couple lines of him singing a ditty called "There's a Flower in the Garden," found the key, tacked it onto the end of a song and worked backward. Instruments and vocals: JFC
Lyrics
You've been hanging 'round her door You've come to the attention of the house dick, you know Big Chief gottum new squaw? I'll say she's new She hasn't even been unwrapped yet She's got a thing for the Mystery Man She told him to come up and see her sometime There's a flower in the garden for you, young man A flower in the garden, so pluck it while you can And that'll be a bargain for you, young man
