  Music Scene - Songs from the Range
The fact is, Sourdough Slim (aka Rick Crowder) is a one-man variety act with a song in his heart, a ready yodel on his lips and an accordion strapped to his chest.
Slim's bill-paying alter-ego, Rick Crowder, was born in Hollywood, and while he spent much of his childhood on a family cattle ranch in the Sierra foothills, he knew even at a young age that his destiny was that of an entertainer.
"Sourdough Slim" emerged as a way to meld his experiences into a solo act centered on the persona of a goofy, accordion-playing and yodeling cowhand.

 The Spell of the Yukon
This is the song of the parson's son, as he squats in his shack alone,
This is the song of the parson's son, as he squats in his shack alone, On the wild, weird nights, when the Northern Lights shoot up from the frozen zone, And it's sixty below, and couched in the snow the hungry huskies moan: "I'm one of the Arctic brotherhood, I'm an old-time pioneer.
." This was the song of the parson's son, as he lay in his bunk alone, Ere the fire went out and the cold crept in, and his blue lips ceased to moan, And the hunger-maddened malamutes had torn him flesh from bone.

Desiring a quiet place to work he went to his bank where the startled bank guard fired a shot at him the event which led Service's mind toward the idea of a shooting and, "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" was born.
The flood gates opened, Service wrote so many poems over the next few months that he decided to publish them and found a publisher who would pay a 10% royalty, and Songs of a Sourdough (reissued as The Spell of the Yukon) was published to some success.
In 1908 he was transformed 400 miles north to Dawson where he composed and published Ballads of a Cheechako and, the following year, resigned from the bank in order to write full time.
