As a sound geek / poet, this appeals on so many levels. Thanks for all your great work, Doug.
Yeah, but it’s always the same poem. You’d think roadies could write something else, although there have been variations including “Check one, check two, Mastercard, Visa.”

I’ve also sung and scatted the numbers and letters to offer a broader spectral range for things like quick acoustical tuning. This, however, tends to cause roadies to sit down thinking they’re getting a free concert.
Would a Savage Chickens sound check sound like a lot of pen scratching and rustling paper? Or would their be clucking
Three chickens in one frame? Has this ever happened before??
Thursday, April 20, 2006. Protest Rally. Thay cartoon has numerous chickens in it. Also, there’s another one, but I’ve forgotten what it is, it wasn’t as recent.
I LOVE YOU DOUG!
every time I’ve ever been to a show where the roadies were chickens they always tested the mics by saying..
