In my college days, Napster had seen its heyday, you could look up lyrics to almost any songs online, and I spent my days looking up tabs to songs I was familiar with from high school so I could play them on my new guitar.

I don’t remember much of the details around this, but I submitted lyric corrections and tabs for some For Squirrels songs and for some crazy reason that is called the Internet, it still lives on till this day and I’ve achieved immortality on the world wide web.

I am working on tabs for Mighty K.C.. But until they are completed RayAna sent in these tabs to wet your appetite. Also RayAna sent tons of corrections to the lyrics. Thanks. Although I do not have enough time today to fix all of them. But I will soon. Solo and corrections to the chorus of Superstar by Andrew. Thank you.

I’m credited for deciphering lyrics to 8 songs off of For Squirrel’s Example album.  And a few tabs, including Mighty K.C.

Curious that I am, as I was writing this post, I tried to look up the person that owns this site — looks like his name is Josh and he has a “new” site (that still looks like it’s from 2000) and I wanted to say hello, but his contact form is broken.  Looks like he’s some kind of programmer now.  Well Josh, you have some bugs in your code.  But if you read this, I just wanted to say, I hope that For Squirrels site lives forever. Take care.
