Chuck (Charles Anthony, aka Chuckee) Kennedy, a dear San Francisco artist friend, celebrated his 88th birthday July 2, 2014. In June he sent me a wonderfully wacky drawing of two mad hens launching eggs at each other, with a couple of other chickens in the background... ("Roosters?" I thought, "Egging them on?") So that's where the title came from, and pretty soon the tune ovulated itself into existence in time to dedicate it to Chuck for his birthday that year.
We lost Chuckee August 7, 2016. He was a wonderful & multi-faceted artist, well-known for many years in the Bay Area (murals in the Stinking Rose & elsewhere). He had a delightful sense of humor (as you see above) and was also famous for his off-the-cuff poetry. He is sorely missed.
