Album Notes

Eric's story begins as most do. In the jungles of Panama where he was orphaned when his father, the famous explorer Mick Mann, was ensnared in a trap set by some local sloths.
Eventually he made his way to America where he was embraced by the youth culture, who were very into orphans at the time.

Eventually he made his way back to the wild where he lived out his adolescence amongst wolves. Wolves who thought they were better than him. They tore at his self-esteem as their claws tore through their prey. After awhile it began to "toughen him up".

Eventually he made his way back to the city where he waited tables wearing a fake mustache that he purchased from a "Dollar General". Once it was attached to a fake nose on a pair of plastic glasses. He also used the eyebrows, which were also attached to the glasses. One day, while rooting around in a local dumpster, Eric found a guitar. He decided that he would learn to play it without much effort.

Eventually he made his way to Omaha, Nebraska where he met his wife, a beautiful, world-renown mathematician from California named Noelle, and Joey Keck, a hobo with two glass-eyes and a wooden leg from Missouri with an amazing ear for music. He was also reunited with his trumpet-playing brother Zac, who had been orphaned in another country by their mother when she was ensnared in a trap set by some other species.

After many, many ceremonies, an album was recorded.
