Viewing lyrics for Bonzai Bambi by Dan Tharp.

I wrote this piece when I got my first non-used car (Mitsubishi Eclipse) and on the way to the dealership to get a sun-roof put in, I hit a deer that completely smashed in my hood and ended up flipping over the car (almost coming in through the windshield).
I came up with the name "Bonzai Bambi" to describe the strange experience of seeing a single deer break away from the small group to what seemed "intentionally" run across the highway as fast as possible....almost as if it were a "dare" or a bizarre suicide attempt....hence the name "Bonzai Bambi".
This is a solo piece on my steel string guitar.
