That last song was called "Corn Planter".

It's on our album over here.

And us being from Warren, Pennsylvania, we have the Kinzua Reservoir about seven miles right above us.

And that was built in the '60s, but it flooded some Seneca land.

Johnny Cash had a song about it called "As Long as the Grass Shall Grow", and the "Corn Planter" is kind of our version of that song.

So if you like that, we do have some vinyl and CDs available with that song on it.

Ah, this is another new one.

So this is a song that I wrote about when I just got outta high school and I started traveling around playing shows.

And it's just such a strange, disorienting experience, and you start only relating to the people you're traveling with at a point.

So I really grew a lot from that time, and it's really nice to look back on it fondly, and with fear for my younger self.
