Small drums... progressive ideas. The First Act focuses on lyrics and ideas through the marriage of an aggressive acoustic guitar, a children's drum set, and intelligent/charming vocals.
Bio / Background
A Brief History of the First Act:
The First Act owes its existence to one Larry Wooddell and his love for black squirrels. The story is as follows.
Larry Wooddell was the superintendent of grounds at Kent State University in the early 1960's. A large school covering more than 500 acres across the lush rolling meadows of the Cuyahoga River Valley in Northeast Ohio, the campus offered many opportunities to lose oneself amongst its great oaks, conifers, and hallowed halls... perhaps too many. Wooddell became lonely. Tiresome days of mowing and trimming lead to lonesome nights of regret and longing. Wooddell knew there was something out there to cure his loneliness. The Encylopedia Britannica would be his tool.
Every night for three months in the fall of 1960, Wooddell pooled his resources at the twelve-story Main Library and learned to read. Then on January 17th, 1961, he turned his attention to the Britannica's "A" volume.
