Musical Sketch 38: Nick The Cliff Dweller

Here's another iteration of my Nick song. This musical sketch was probably recorded sometime during 1978 or thereafter. I continued recording these sketches through the rest of the 1970's. Here's an earlier musical sketch of the song: https://on.soundcloud.com/ftNWHzQKwcVFmWs19. Here's a more or less finished version: on.soundcloud.com/69eVCVrxQLBVgkyn6. I believe I began drawing my comic character Nick the Cliff Dweller in 1968, or perhaps 1967, when I was 9 or 10 years old. I probably began singing the song around then. The Nick the Cliff Dweller song was inspired by my older brother Buddy who improvised a song with lyrics I didn't use but a tune that I did. Here's Buddy's original lyrics: Nick the Cliff Dweller he's a fine feller As swell as swell can be. He lives on a hill with his moonshine still. If the bats don't get 'em then the vultures will.
