The year is 1774. American colonists are at odds with King George III and the British Parliament over excessive taxation and reduced liberties. Delegates from the colonies meet to discuss the foundation for self-governance and a complete break from England. Actually, that sounds SUPER boring! The real story gripping the colonies is the mysterious death of rising songsmith Jeremiah “Lil’ Musket” Big-Britches. Lil’ Musket sings hippity-hoppity songs, and usually ones where he unapologetically boasts of his own success and lavish colonial lifestyle – really, Lil’ Musket? You need 3 horse drawn carriages? Really?

Such good fortune has made many other colonial hippity-hoppity artists jealous. But is their resentment so strong they would reach for their musket, then pour gunpowder from the powder horn into a powder measure, then empty that into the barrel of the musket, then place a pillow ticking patch over the barrel hole, then balance the musket ball on the pillow ticking patch, then grab the ramrod and push the ball down the barrel of the musket until it’s good and seated? And then, place a dry piece of flint in the jaw of the musket’s mechanism and fasten it securely.... you know what? It’s already too much work.
