Born in the year of 1969 at the Woodstock Festival during the "oooooohhhmm" portion of the meditational ceremonies. While being breastfed by several different new gypsy mothers who had babies. Young Tweetle tweet began to freakout..wig..trip. Yes, Tweet had been puddled by nipple infection--you know---LSD; ACID MAN! Tweet suddenly began to cough and chirp and sprout feathers under his tiny arms.
Just at that moment an announcement was made over the P.A. system. "Attention. testing one, two, three, Hey man; don't eat the brown acid. It's bad! I repeat, the brown acid is BAD MAN". One of the gypsy mothers began to cackle and foam at the mouth. She died on the spot. She had eaten the bad acid which had been accidentally mixed with an experimental serum concoction from bird droppings of Dodo birds.
Tweets mother was so freaked out that she jumped into her Volkswagen van and sped away. She took off so fast in fact that she forgot the locket that had been violently stripped from her neck by little Tweet as he morphed. Nobody knows what happened to Tweets mother Leona Lickskillet. The locket contained a small photo of a young man closely resembling Dumplin' Fiddle, Tweets older brother and, most likely, father.

The Fiddleworms emerged out of the Muscle Shoals, Alabama and took their name from night crawler catfish bait, adopting stage personae like Splash Fiddle (Mefford) and Wolf Fiddle (Kennedy), and traveling to gigs in an orange stretch limo, the worms developed a large following.
Their live shows were electric. They hammered out their musical style on stage, playing 167 shows during 1995, the first year they were together. Conceived by Chris Quillen and Russell Mefford as a vehicle for showcasing songs that Mefford had written, The Fiddleworms forged their reputation with original music in an area that cherished cover bands.
Legendary Atlantic Records producer Jerry Wexler was so impressed with their first album,he distributed copies to major record labels on the bands behalf. And Musician magazine selected them as semi-finalists in their Best Unsigned Band Competition in early 1996. The Fiddleworms appeared to be an unstoppable musical force by the spring of that year. |
