About Me |
|
Doctor Oakroot was born in a taxi with no brakes, and, he says, "I been rolling ever since. I rolled right down to Hell, pulled up the devil by his tail and brought back some dark, dark songs." Doctor Oakroot (doctoro kverkradiko) naskighis en taksio nebremse, kaj li diras, "mi rulighis de tiam. Mi rulighis rekte al la inferno, levigis la diablo per la vosto, kaj reportis iom da mallumegaj kantoj." Nekontenta pri ordinarajhoj, Oakroot verkis musikon kun gitaroj memkonstruitaj de cigarskatoloj. Kiam oni ludas kun skatolo, bastono, kaj kordo, oni ne povas kashighi kaj la musiko estas neordinara. Okaze, Oakroot kantas kaj registras Esperante. buy unique gifts at Zazzle |
