Life in the jungle is arduous, gutsy, and painful. It breaks people. One is subjected to the taciturn and awful hegemony of nature over man. For none of these reasons, Liesl started to play geetar. She picked up the instrument, mistaking it for a missing alan wrench. She was unable to put it down as someone had hexed, enchanted, cursed, or poxed it. As such, the best plan involved learning to bang out a few chords. Henceforth, Liesl + guitar travel to many places...except the jungle. Do they make sense together? Do they confuse and delight? Do they mystify, intrigue, and broast? Is it folk? Is it indie? Is it gonzo? These and other decisions are entirely up to you, the audience, casual listener and/or victim. Liesl's dream is that you will come see her shows and may even enjoy the fruits of this weird, possibly tasty combination. And please hasten to avoid the jungle.
