I have great respect for the hobos that Jack Kerouac describes in " On The Road"... your spider sounds like one of them. Oh and here is a cool website on hobo art, apparently they draw and paint in addition to singing: http://www.worldpath.net/~minstrel/hoboart.htm

“Big Rock Candy Mountain” is a real Hobo song. That’s why your spider was playing it. However, as you will see it’s been sanitized to protect the sensibilities of our youth. The original had precious little to do with candy

“It’s been damp, so the cellar doors are really hard to open. It got easier after I figured out my wife locked them before she left with the kids.”

that, along with the information about hobos vs tramps vs bums, and you made my day again!

kick ass.
