Pa pointed to the still. "Son, I want you

  • Pa pointed to the still. "Son, I want you to use your eyes to heat up that still, then fly these barrels to the county line." This was how Pa would get Clark into Moonshining
  • On his first trip to the border, Clark, carrying 4 full barrels of home brew, became distracted. Off on the horizon he could see a train heading for disaster. Ditching the barrels,
  • he sat down with a widow lady and commenced to play the Jews harp he had found in the outhouse out behind the house. They did a rendition of Al Stewart"s On The Border as that
  • final curtain rang down on the elderly widow's life. He checked her pulse, then played the juice harp for another hour, wondering why it was called a "Jews harp". It didn't sound
  • like hebrew but he had a mind not to question things and respect people’s wishes -especially dead old widows’ wishes. The police finally arrived over complaints of bad banjo music
  • , which he blamed on the widow's ghost. After the police left, he carried the haunted banjo to the cellar and buried it. That night, the dead widow returned, playing a trombone.
  • "I bet you have never heard a more beautiful tune," said the widowed apparition upon my entry into the room, "than what is flowing into your ears right this moment." I shuffled
  • uncomfortably on my feet because, on the contrary, I thought the tune was lousy. However, I wasn’t about to say that to the apparition and piss her off. “Oh, yes,” I lied, “it’s a
  • fine rendition of "You picked a fine time to leave me lucidity". Unfortunately, the apparition immediately picked up on my snarky tone and vengfully launched into a cover of "
  • Karma Chameleon" and it's been stuck in my head ever since. You're singing it in your head now, aren't you? You can't stop, can you? Just give up the ghost & sing with me!
