Local Squirrel Discovers Acoustics, Becomes an Overnight Sensation!

You may have noticed that the coniferous forest was a little more melodic this morning as overnight sensation Ed the Douglas’ Squirrel works on his newest pop beat in the abandoned concrete structure on the edge of the forest. Discovering for the first time acoustics, Ed is breaking musical warning call ground and taking the local forest by storm. We caught up with Ed while he rehearsed.

Ed says he was minding his own business when he was suddenly startled and ran into the structure. (Promotional pics used with permission).

When Ed the Douglas’ Squirrel ran into the old 1918 abandoned structure and chirped his distress call he discovered something amazing. His voice amplified, echoed and rang out across the forest. Soon it would become his signature sound.

“I love it that a member of the squirrel family is finally getting recognition” says Judy the ground squirrel. “It legitimizes our talent and place in the animal kingdom, and there is some real talent here. I hope the next big thing will be burrows.”

Ed has said he “still has to gather cones, seeds and shit for winter” but that he really wants to focus primarily on The Music (TM – Ed Squirrel).

Ed’s liter mates from this spring fear he may be pushing his luck, ‘out in the open’ and ‘calling attention to himself’ and claim to have seen ‘scary birds’ in the area — but Ed isn’t worried. “It’s all about the music, my liter mates have stopped vibin’ with me, and that’s okay but they’re going to have to understand chirping in this building is my life now.”
