Rattlesnakes Sing Along In Tale Of Wild Camp Music
A colorful, fragmented reminiscence sketches rattlesnakes listening to camp songs by a party in Colorado. The tale shifts to a heat touched train scene where passengers vie for ice, with a witty derny hat humorist and a chorus of rattlers finishing with tunes like The Holy City and Go Way Back and Sit Down. The piece blends comic, rustic characters and odd observational vignettes from frontier life.
