Songs about a guitar-playing child who was dyslexic and named after Japanese Jello. A story about the many times he sang love songs to drunk people trying to hook up, an old girlfriend that now hates his ass, "How to answer a question with a question!," and a friend's lullaby to his honey back home. All, with a couple of drunk on Saturday night, meat burning on the grill instrumentals to carry you along. There's pianos, banjos, washing machines, mandolins, a tamboul, guitars and an occasional Dr. Hook or Buck Owens. With the exception of a few takes, the collection is pretty much a "push the record button and run grab the instrument" first time effort from Rusty Bridgers.
