Maximum blues, a musical interlude for your listening pleasure. I am a huge fan of Seasick Steve and couldn't resist linking to this performance from the Jools Holland Hootenanny of 2007/08. Here Steve sings of the perils of taking a walk in long grass and being attacked by these nasty little creatures. Chiggers are tiny, six-legged wingless organisms (larvae) that grow up to become a type of mite that are found in tall grass and weeds. Their bite causes severe itching. Steve offers some of his homegrown tips to avoid them: 'I wear my socks up to my knees'.
