Story behind the song
Many different types of artists come to the Ranch to jam. Oftentimes, the level of playing abiltiy would be so drastic, it was hard to find something everyone could play together. Evinger wrote "Shark Bait" to serve as a common ground - any level of player could learn the song in no time. It is designed to give all the musicians a quick practice in timing and simplicity - an exercise to lock in with eachother, especially during the "stabs". The song has an "ear worm" effect - it gets stuck in your head, and whenever one of the musicians felt it was time to take a break, they would start the song and everyone would join in. There are many recordings of this song, with different words and variations on the theme. This is one recent version. The bass player, Mat, had only been playing bass for a month. We think he did a fine job.
