Zach got his start in music through whistling in taverns in his homeland of Denmark. Sitting on top of a stool he would whistle the classics, such as “Highway to Hell”, “In da Club”, and “Uncle Peggles” (as made famous by Buck Turner & the Honeycutt Bros), to the delight of crowds from all over the Jutland Peninsula. People would sometimes journey for days to see him work his magic. It was rumored that his music cured leprosy and that it was “good for the harvest.”
However, after his friend and mentor John Wayne passed away, Zach fell into a state of perpetual gloom. He vowed to give up whistling forever. Zach wandered for days through the forests and hillsides of Denmark, forests and hillsides once filled with whistle. He would scream out in agony “WHY ME!?!?!?!” He turned to harder forms of music like the recorder––and even singing. His life was just a downhill spiral.
Some years later, while the Logs were out for a jog, they came upon a clearing. In this clearing they saw a man empowered––a man filled with song! As they approached him they could see that he was giving a performance for all the creatures of the forest––even the wolverines. His beautiful, flowing tones washed over the Logs as they listened to the equivalent of sonic alchemy. After the show, Tommy Gerrity approached him and asked the man to join he and his merry band of minstrels in their quest for awesome. Although initially reluctant because of his previous scars associated with whistling, Zach joined the group and the rest of this story is history.
