Great song (albeit sadly appropriate--I'm thinking, five-dollar gas fits right in there), cool "scratchy" film effect, and wonderful sound effects--except--what was that last one, at the very end? Scared me out of a year's growth!
I find it very refreshing and whimsical that you should choose a Depression-Era chestnut to demonstrate your unique-sounding 1920's vintage "The Gibson" metal head banjo uke. Those sound effects didn't go un-noticed. Your vocalizing was the perfect embodiment of a hobo delivering a very powerful message of the day to the common folk.
Thanks buddy. These days I translate Grapes of Wrath.

No, it's an old 1920s Gibson with a tin head. I have never seen one or even heard of one before so I can't tell you any more than that.

nice intro, so many textures! I came across a seed packet the other day that said 'mushmelon' on it for cantaloupe! It brought back memories...
