Johnny Strumfart: The Ballad of the Flatulent Fretboard
The Story Version:
Johnny Strumfart
Meet Johnny Strumfart, arguably the greatest studio guitar player the world has ever tried to keep in a room with soundproofing. Johnny was known for his ability to make guitars weep, scream, and even occasionally laugh. His fingers were like magicians, conjiting solos that could make a grown man cry (either from the beauty or from the subsequent aroma).
Johnny's career started with a bang—or rather, a whiff. His first big gig was recording with "The Velvet Strings," a band poised for global fame. As he played the opening riff to their hit song, "Love on the Frets," the studio filled with the most glorious guitar sound ever heard, only to be shortly followed by an unexpected bass line from Johnny's rear.
The producer, Mr. Mixmaster, was initially enchanted by Johnny's talent but quickly realized that the studio's state-of-the-art recording equipment was picking up not just every note but every note. The session was cut short, with Johnny being politely asked to "take five" which, in studio lingo, meant "leave, please, for the sake of our nostrils."
Johnny's reputation grew; not for his music alone, but for his unique ability to clear a room quicker than a fire alarm. Band after band, studio after studio, Johnny was becoming less of a guitar legend and more of a local legend for his unintended contributions to olfactory experiences.
Determined to keep his career alive, Johnny decided to take matters into his own hands, or rather, his own diet. He tried everything from charcoal biscuits to yoga for digestion, but alas, his passion for playing was directly proportional to his production of gas.
One day, while playing in a small, underground studio notorious for its poor ventilation, Johnny struck upon an idea. He started a band called "The Backdrafts," specializing in what they dubbed "Aromatic Rock." Here, his talent was not just accepted but celebrated. They recorded with a special "Fart Filter" mic setup, which oddly enough, became their unique selling point. The music press loved it, calling them "The Smelliest Band on Earth," and their album "Silent but Deadly" won a niche but passionate fanbase.
Johnny Strumfart, once a pariah in the clean-cut world of studio recording, found fame by embracing his natural gift. He became a symbol of authenticity in an industry often criticized for being too polished. And in a twist of fate, his band's live shows became sensory experiences like no other, where fans would come not just to hear, but to smell the music.
In the end, Johnny taught us all that even the most unwanted talents can find their place in the world, especially if you've got the air of a legend.

The Case of the Missing Red Stripes A Stoner Christmas Mystery A Budville Mystery Theater Original Nobody noticed at first. That’s how these things always start. It was December 23rd, the kind of cold that makes the smoke hang in the air like a bad decision. I was posted up in the back room of Benny’s Bodega & Tree Lot, rolling something medicinal and pretending not to listen to Bing Crosby for the fifth hour straight. That’s when I saw it. A candy cane. White. Minty. Clean. Too clean. No red stripes. I checked another. Same thing. Then another. Whole damn box looked like it had been bleached by the Ghost of Christmas Sobriety. I knew then—this wasn’t a supply chain issue. This was a job . Scene One: The Evidence Candy canes don’t just lose their stripes. Red’s not decorative—it’s structural. Tradition. Balance. The sweet meets the sharp. Yin meets yang. Without red, it’s just a breath mint with a hook. Someone had stripped the stripes. ...
