Nice tune!
I had a friend who was in the Air Force. He was telling me one day about all the complaints the AF got for sonic booms..... It was alwasy "Now my PRIZE cow won't give milk" or "My PRIZE chicken won't lay eggs" He said the farmers always figured if they used the work "prize" they would get a bigger settlement.
I ought to try "Now my PRIZE banjo won't play like Earl anymore".

I probably scared a few prize animals during my time in the Air Force, but I can't claim any damages to my banjo; cause it has never sounded like Earl's.

Great tune. Reminds me of when I was a flight instructor at a small local airport. We received a call from a lady who claimed we were "breaking up the clouds and keeping it from raining". She also said she had her shotgun and was "going to do something about It..."

When I saw the title of this tune, I thought it was about the Sonic fast food chain killing chickens for sammiches.

I like Sonic Drive inns too, The pretty girls on skates has nothing to do with it as I cant enjoy a Chilli - cheese Hot dog unless some one else cooks it. So how did you like the Tune? did it suit you?

I thought the same thing, and came back to post that thought, but you beat me to it.

Hi Elwood,
Yes, I thought the tune was terrific... I love the the last chorus best.... "Sonic boom killed my chickens, sonic boom treed my cow, sonic boom knocked over my still, how'm I s'posed t' make my living now?" Great!
Chicken sammiches delivered by girls on skates, though... can't beat that. :)

That was fun Steve and good playing also. Are you sure the chickens and cows didn't eat the spilled mash and just wander off in a drunken stupor? 
ELWOOD - Posted - 06/25/2011: 06:19:52
You know Grumpy, that could be it. The animals do like to hang around the still...LOL

Thanks Guys, Yes my Boys in the air force liked the sonic boom idea. The airman at Yakota air base agree, My farmer friends were amused. Only one guy thought I was anti - Military.... not bad for targeting some fun... Very pleased that you all liked this and almost no-one was confused
