Uncle Gus: Tree Frog Blues
"Tree Frog Blues" by Uncle Gus. Recorded live in one take on 7/16/2012 on my cookie tin guitar "Winterbone."
TREE FROG BLUES
===============
Now it's the middle of July
Steam is rising through the trees
Clings to everything it touches
Hangs on your skin in beads
There's a flash and a rumble
Storm's coming I do believe
O can you hear the tree frogs singing
Hear the crickets doing their thing
Cicadas rising and falling
See the moon watching over everything
June bugs bumbling under the porch light
And you can smell the coming rain

Thanks! I guess I've just got a few pics of this one up here, no real close-ups. This was my third build ever, and the headstock looks exactly nothing like I originally wanted, so that's probably why I didn't do zoom-ins...shame, basically. :D
