Started and finished in this week - that's a first for me so far.  I always bounce around on my tracks all the time, so I have many dozens sitting around unfinished at any given time.  This one starts and ends with a joke, ha - I amuse myself.  I really like this one though.  Kind of inspired a bit by Jeff Beck's "Loose Canon" and trying to harness crazy guitar noise.  Much of it was me improvising on my midi keyboard (I play guitar, but not this well) and then fixing it in Bitwig and adding the pinch harmonics and an overly strong wah-wah effect.

It even has a sort of verse-chorus structure though it's an instrumental.  The original ending wrapped up right on the chord you expect with the cadence and it was just so trite, so I changed it to a completely new key, though related.

It's named after a pretty fella I found in my back yard.
