WHISKEY JAR

THIS SONG IS A NOVELTY WRITTEN AND RECORDED IN LESS THAN 2 DAYS TIME (AND IT SHOWS!). IT WAS RECORDED AT A PARTY AT BILL AND MEAGAN'S HOUSE IN EARLY 2002. THE BAND HAD JUST SUFFERED THE DEPARTURE OF ITS LEAD SINGER/GUITARIST, MIKE MILLIGAN, AND WAS SEARCHING FOR ITS NEW SOUND. ALTHOUGH THIS SONG IS GOOFY IN LYRICS AND PROGRESSION, IT HAS THE RICH HARMONIES BETWEEN CATHY AND BILL THAT HAVE BECOME A TRADEMARK OF ALL SECOND HELPING MUSIC CREATED SINCE. DOWNLOAD AND ENJOY!!

RIO FAUX LOBO

EACH YEAR SECOND HELPING MAKES A PILGRIMAGE TO SKAGWAY, ALASKA (MARCEL'S HOMETOWN) AND HANG WITH SOME WILD WILD CHARACTERS - AMONGST OTHER THINGS. ONE OF THOSE CHARACTERS IS A FELLA NAMED SCOTT LOGAN, A BEDPAN COLLECTOR BY TRADE, SCOTT OWNS A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVENLY LAND RIGHT ON THE RIVER RUNNING THROUGH TOWN...A PERFECT SPOT FOR HIS IMPORTED MINER'S CABIN. IT'S NAME: RIO FAUX LOBO (RIVER OF THE FAKE WOLF). THIS SONG IS A DEDICATION TO LOGAN'S HOMESTEAD AND IT'S HAUNTING BEAUTY. (SORRY THIS IS SUCH A SHORT CLIP, STILL WORKING ON THE FULL LENGTH VERSION)
