Meanderersk is back this fall 2023 as a 2-piece this time around with Scott Schwister on drums and Dan Hutt doing the rest. I first recorded vocals for this song with my phone under the 21st and O St. bridge in LIncoln, NE early one morning in winter, 2016. The echoes were great, and you'll be able to hear that very recording on the upcoming Cattery Aquarium debut album. In honor of my new cat, Leslie, and in memory of my mentor, Les Whipp.

Lyrics
Girl with the graham cracker clarinet
nibbles off the keys of the flats and sharps.
Even keel through the treble clef.
Big cup of coffee: licorice stick's death.
Leslie in my a/v warren,
baby won't you stay with me?
Leslie in my a/v warren,
baby won't you stay with me?
World with a popsicle gardenette,
weeding in the dreams that won't make me sneeze.
What is real hasn't helped me yet.
Candy umbrella is the safest bet.
Leslie in my a/v warren,
baby won't you stay with me?
Leslie in my a/v warren,
baby won't you stay with me?
