Ecologist Larry Stevens sings the story of the Humpback Chubb, a small odd-looking fish that lives at the bottom of Grand Canyon, and which has been struggling to survive since the Colorado River was dammed years ago. This song is part of Songs and Stories from Grand Canyon, a CD produced by the Western Folklife Center for Smithsonian Folkways Records.
