It's just me. And a drum machine or a keyboard for rhythms. Not very good equipment, no pristine sounds here, so you better like it a bit rough.... Hardly anything is rehearsed, sometimes lyrics completely improvised.

Lyrics
Retreat To Upland Ch One month as a tech guy And Cyrus he was beat He ran away from Indy In total defeat One month as a tech guy Was all that he could take He retreated back to Upland From whence work he couldn’t make No more to change the paper And to salvage floppy disks To un-jam all the printers Taking crazy risks That could get toner on your hands Requiring you to wash The tough life of the tech guy Was too much for him, by gosh ch I hear the harvests due soon He’ll be bringing in the corn For two dollars an hour Though with Spanish he weren’t born He’ll pick it quite soon Because he likes to talk a lot And for most of his new colleagues It’s the only tongue they’ve got Ch He couldn’t take the pressure He couldn’t stand the pace The city wasn’t pretty And he was just a disgrace One month as a tech guy The moons were not yet plural When he gave up on the city And went back to being rural ch
