Description
Where?
Upon the great Erie. We stayed on the tiny Island of Pelee in the middle of the lake, the southern most point in Canada. We got bitten to death by the mosquito's and then spent the next day in Sandusky Greyhound station, trying to get o Indianapolis.
What?
This is just a bit of nonsense, not meant to be taken too seriously by anyone - especially if you live in Sandusky. I had this daft little country tune going around in my head and when I came to record it couldn't make it go anywhere because I thought I had two chorus's and no verse. So it ended up as just a little idea that I quite liked.
How?
I wanted it to sound like an old bluegrass record that you might find in the attic, recorded in the 1940's by a bunch of weirdo's who could barely play, with a strange female singer with one leg and blackened teeth: actually me singing through GB's vocal transformer. My wife hates this song - gives her the willies'!
Enjoy, if you can :-))

Lyrics
Sandusky
(by Phil Dolby ©2007)
Well we’re heading south through Canada
Across the great Erie
Heading to a land that talks of Life and Liberty
But the country I’ll return to
Is so far across the sea
No amusement park
Could every make me stay in Sandusky
Â
Oh mosquito, you have come to take a bite
Oh mosquito, you’re attracted by the light
Oh mosquito, you are cunning in your flight
Oh mosquito, you’re a victim of the night
Â
Well we’re heading south through Canada
Across the great Erie
No amusement park
Could ever make me stay in Sandusky
No amusement park
Could ever make me stay in Sandusky

Oh mosquito, you have come to take a bite
Oh mosquito, you’re attracted by the light
Oh mosquito, you are cunning in your flight
Oh mosquito, you’re a victim of the night
Â
Well we’re heading south through Canada
Across the great Erie
No amusement park
Could ever make me stay in Sandusky
No amusement park
Could ever make me stay in Sandusky
Godchaser
love that one legged female singer - unless you suddenly start rootin' through the wife's belongings for a dress for Sunday services,she shouldn't get to worked up about your gender change for this wonderful song - hold up in a bus station in Sandusky Ohio is a miserable time spent in ANY bus station - enjoyed the tune.
Blessings,
