Greater than the Great Wall of China! More awe-inspiring than Niagra Falls! The Tillesquat Bowl! Located on the cool, tree lined banks of the Tillesquat River, this beautiful building (once hailed by Frank Lloyd Wright as “the perfect structureâ€) has long been considered the premier vacation destination in the Northwest.
The home of many cultural events over the years, in 2003 the Tillesquat Bowl was host to the triumphant homecoming concert of Tillesquat’s own Cleetus Sanger (lead vocals and rhythm guitar) and Homer Didele (lead guitar and rhythm vocals), recently returned from their record breaking world tour. Broadcasting from historic Lane 19, this concert was their gift to their beloved home town.
This album is an accurate reproduction of the original live radio broadcast on station KSQT, “the voice of Tillesquat.â€
********************************************************
The tale of Sanger and Didele begins some 30-odd years ago. Cleetus Sanger, heir to the famous Sanger Kazoo Company fortune, was born in a humble 47 room mansion on the outskirts of Tillesquat, Washington. A precocious child, he early showed a talent for typewriter repair and tormenting the neighborhood cats with duct tape. No one dared discipline the child, as he possessed a three-alarm scream that could bring even the largest and most macho adult male to his knees. Young Sanger therefore grew up totally convinced of his own superiority over the little people, or “scum†as he chose to call them.
Meanwhile, Homer Didele did not have such an easy life. Abandoned in the woods outside Tillesquat shortly after his birth, he was adopted by a friendly tribe of clams. When finally discovered by human beings, he was fully grown, but had the mind of a fully grown person raised by clams. He spoke no English; his only means of communication was a rudimentary form of Basque. His transition into human society was not easy, but was aided by liberal use of electroshock therapy and frequent rewards of SPAM.
Homer was given a scholarship to the prestigious Northwest Presbyterian Dental College of Business and Agriculture, conveniently located in the heart of downtown Tillesquat. Majoring in Mineral Husbandry (with a minor in loansharking), Didele joined and was quickly made captain of the university tambourine squad. Meanwhile, Sanger was also majoring at the university. Fate decreed that the two were to meet through their mutual hobby of competitive dog grooming. It was at a meet against rival Tillesquat Women’s College of Botany and Hairdressing that the pair discovered a shared love of inflicting themselves on the public. It is this love that continues to bring them to you to this very day.
