Biography:
Beginning his musical career in the 1960's, Michael Yonkers is most well known as an early purveyor of the musical style called "skronk-rock". Skronk-rock is a nearly atonal form, but the genre is given grace through Yonkers' subtle manipulations of the sonic palette.
1969's Microminiature Love (1969 - Destijl, 2002 - Subpop, 2003), the culmination of his artistic peak, ran the gamut of the era's styles, from Jefferson Airplane-ish acid-rock (Jasontown) to voodoo-blues (Boy In The Sandbox, Smile Awhile).

Am G F
Take the sunlight highway to Grimwood town
Am G F
It is where my soul goes to lie around
G C Am
I seem to be happy there
B F
When you arrive there's a welcome sign
Am G F
It says your welcome to live or die
G Am
Your wish is our pleasure here
Am G F
A place called Sancrity not far away
Am G F
Has a lake that is filled with lemonade
G Am
And candy floss trees if you're hungry
Am G F
Grimwood winters have lots of snow
Am G F
that only falls where we want it to
G Am
The grass remains green and skies blue
G Am F
There is only smiles in Grimwood town
Am G F
Unless you walk around upside down
G F Am
Then everyone's frowning there
G F Am
Conversations are running jokes
G F Am
and all the chimneys have rainbow smoke
Bm Am E
My lover resides there too
