Originally recorded by Logan Whitehurst and the Junior Science club, this song was one of the first that got me interested in sharing my music online when I discovered it in the bygone days of MP3.com Logan passed away in 2006 after a long battle with cancer.

vocals, and arrangement by Ian Michalski.

Lyrics

When they find Big Ed's body at the bottom of the creek
I don't want to be in town
When they come to question all the people on my street
I don't want to be around
They will search for me
They will want to see if I knew Big Ed

When they find Big Ed's body at the bottom of the creek
My fingers will turn to stone
My eyes will perspire and my telephone will ring
And spiders will crawl down my bones
They will come for me
They will find me with my hands on my head

When they find Big Ed's body at the bottom of the creek
They'll follow him down the road
His teeth will be perfect as a porcelain display
And no one but I will know
I will go to sleep
And if I am lucky they'll find me soon

excellent performance - ciao da sandro

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

Ian and Ariann, This is a great story, and it has that great theatrical Broadway sound and storyline that you just don't hear, and that's what I love about it! Very entertaining! You both are great entertainers and as usual great singing by you, Ian! A kind of slapstick vaudeville in a way, but with a unique storyline! This song is more like your Funeral Breakfast songs, but I know you two do various kinds of songs both in story and music. You're both brilliant entertainers both lyrically and musically and your performances are stellar! VME! Clay Brian Wilson 10,000 Suns! 💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍
