About life on the Nebraska prairie in the middle of nowhere.
Artist picture
raw ragged garage rock with brilliant lyrics
A dusty left handed axe strangler cranking out raw ragged riffs from the prairie of Nebraska. Even the tornadoes run from mournful wailing of his tortured guitar. And that voice - it can bring down a hawk from 300 yards.

Story behind the song
I get lots of visits from the critters around my home. They're always tapping on my windows or trying to move in with me.
Lyrics
It's Spring out on the plain Sunny, not much rain Lots of wind but not today A squirrel lives in my elm All this is his realm He's a fidgety little rusty grey I wake up with the birds to all their chirpy words They're having breakfast out on my lawn You can tell that deer have spent the night right here but they all got up and left at dawn Way out here lots of wildlife abounds every morning is a concert of sounds Some little critter is playin' the drums by tappin' at the window asking for crumbs There aren't many mice cuz Festus isn't nice he likes them for a meal or a snack A cat who likes to hide when I am outside he is just a stray that's white and black A cardinal is king and you should hear him sing and Smasher is his name Back he comes each year and so I get to hear all his new songs, they're never quite the same Way out here lots of wildlife abounds every morning is a concert of sounds Ditched my job, I'm one of the quitters I'm way out here a rockin' with the critters

I love this song, lol. I have critters here...Magpie's who tap on the roof early every morning and wake me up! This is a great, quirky, offbeat song - brilliant!
