	Story Behind the Song Every good artist has a "Swamp Song"...and this is mine...more like an "Electric Swamp Opera" if you will. The moral of this story is..."One can never really pass judgement unless one was there living through the actual experience" This song was written on a child's guitar with one string missing, in West Virginia when the infrequent chance to be alone arose. This song was by chance recorded live in a small club straight off a cheap Peavey mixer board..pretty dry and amazingly clear. No overdubs...straight from the swamp. In D minor, of course.
