The Oregon Trail

As soon as I heard Haskel’s “Rodeos of North Hollywood,” I thought of the Oregon Trail. To be specific, I thought of the game called The Oregon Trail that I played as a kid (one of my first experiences on a computer), a movie called “Meeks Cutoff” (about the Oregon Trail), and the history of this route across the United States that was used from the 1840s through the 1860s. I listened through Haskel’s catalog of beautiful guitar pieces (and more!) and just kept coming back to this Oregon Trail idea. All of the guitars (rhythm, slide, acoustic) are Haskel. I played the other instruments by hand (except the bass- used a midi keyboard) to keep the old-timey acoustic feel. I hope you enjoy this treacherous (and hopefully somewhat humorous) journey.
*Thanks to Haskel for the inspiring guitars- it was fun to get to know your work better. I hope you dig.* WORDS Hannah has exhaustion Reuben, a broken leg Wyatt has a snake bite Martha has dysentery That retched dysentery Just farmers from Illinois Trying to make our way Across these rough and wild states Along the Oregon Trail The treacherous Oregon Trail Just a wagon and spare parts Three yoke of oxen to pull Food packed up to get us through Bullets to hunt if we run out Hannah has the measles Reuben has cholera Wyatt has typhoid Martha has dysentery That retched dysentery But we’ll only stop when we must We’ll travel fast in the Gold Rush If someone dies, we’ll dig a grave Then we’ll be on our way We’ll be on our way Dehydration, heavy fog Inadequate grass for our ox Rivers to forge, impassible trails Desserts, blizzards, and wagon fires But we’ll only stop when we must We’ll travel fast in the Gold Rush If someone dies, we’ll dig a grave Then we’ll be on our way.

Editorial pickMind Map That tells the epic tale of exhaustion, snakebites, measels, typhoid…and don’t forget that wretched dysentery! Haskel accompanies along the 2000 mile Oregon Trail with splendid acoustic and slide guitar work. Listen, laugh, and learn kids! Jeris
