State Fair (Clean)

The deep-fried hymn of the Anti-Kale Church of Culinary Hedonism. It’s Southern-fried satire, full of flavor, fury, and food-based freedom. This is comedy gospel with a batter-dipped soul.

A Real Porker

Today on the Digging in Podcast. Randy Little joins the show to talk about all things State Fair, agriculture, southwest Missouri, and of course his time at PFI. He shares with us how he got started and what drives him to continue to do more.

If you have spent time in southwest Missouri over the past 40 years, you’ve probably seen or visited the western store mecca PFI (Preferred Farmers Incorporated). Overlooking Hwy 65 in Springfield, the business was the place to shop for all things western, and their tagline “…and I’m not kidding” was a mainstay on TV commercials across the Ozarks. Former owner, Randy Little, sold PFI a few years ago, but he’s still engaged in the business community and Missouri’s agriculture industry.

Fairground Fever

Created with assistance from Suno.ai, specifically only the lyrics and style arrangement by Synth Sage. Inspired to bring more Halloween tracks in for annual celebrations. This track was inspired by a very interesting mix of styles which turned out great with the storytelling I was going for with a haunted state fair feeling.
