about

ODG102: Earl Van Scandal / The Ballad of Joe Wuss

Zach Witt tend to make art and music under pseudonyms. His main job is as a visual artist, which is where all the paintings and album art comes from under the Silas Plum name. (silasplum.com). Zach lives a simple life in a small town in Virginia. Born and raised there, moved away for a while, came back. Art and music are most of what he cares about. he writes as well, short stories mostly, some long form. Not big on personal details, really. he likes to create biographies for his musical counterparts. The truth behind Earl Van Scandal is he was spending a lot of time alone, getting over a serious relationship and whenever an emotion got too intense, he would work on something. It helped greatly and the songs from ‘The Ballad of Joe Wuss’ are the result of that.
Here is the bio for Earl Van Scandal:
Earl Van Scandal was born and raised in the badlands just south of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. One of fifteen children, Mr. Van Scandal broke free from the pack, eventually making his way to the big city, earning his keep playing piano in the neighborhood bar, or whirling the Hurdy Gurdy on the big city streets. His current whereabouts are unknown, leaving behind a few scribbled notebooks and these songs, collectively known as “The Ballad of Joe Wuss”.
