Summary
TJ features the story of David Crowie, a chicken that was almost eaten by a hawk. His life was saved after his owner, a musician named Shane Palko, nursed him back to health. David stopped crowing for months until one day he started singing along with Shane playing his guitar. This is the journey of how a chicken became the featured singer on Shane’s newest album “David Crowie.” TJ’s 3-year-old daughter, Willa, refuses to eat popcorn and more bonus phone call audio with TJ’s mom.
