“Honey Wagon” was born in 1994, my second year of guiding at Rainbow King lodge. Supposedly, I had proven myself so talented in the first year that I got promoted to hauling feces to the Iliamna sewage lagoon when I returned that next summer. For three days straight, I pumped the juice out of the lodge holding tank into the 500 gallon trailer apparatus and drove the suburban at every bit of 10 mph to the glorious destination. This valuable time in the cockpit was spent humming a goofy tune that later fit perfectly into my guitar skills at the time, which consisted of your basic three chord G-A-D progression.
