Thank you Norm

Man this is sweet. I tried this a while back but i was using my cellphone memo recorder and a few barrels and pallets @ my work. The recording sucked but i might have to try it again.

Do these come in a Left Handed model? :) Real cool amigo!!!

really really cool,, i know a very little about osage orange, it's a cool wood, used for long bows in place of yew,, which is the traditional english wood,, i have a 55 lb osage orange long bow that i built, it is a wood that is a bit soft/stringy, so it needs some form of backing for a bow, i use bamboo,, shoots great and also makes a bit of a twang as i release,, now that i think about it,, anyway,, making ones own tackle is really neat,, wonderful work/demo/story/sound all in one and all around!!

YES!!! love your beats bro!!!!! The harp is a great touch!

Absolutely cool track! Excellent concept! w;-)

All I can say is...OH WOW! I love it! w;-)

Ok, I want one! Sounds soooo cool! w;-)

Wow great sound Norm really cool mate.

This has a new sound with all kinds of possibilities. I like the easter egg at the end too. The instrument sounds cool

Very cool. Reminds me of a detuned bass guitar or something. I think I need me one of these as well. :)

Me too me too! I wants one! I have a berimbau app but it dont sound near this good.

Had a slapping time making lunch

Can I order one?

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.

This is amazing, Norm! Love the ending. I think you should go into the berimbau making business!

Wow! That's freaking awesome! I love instruments like this and the fact that you made your own is killer! Lovely 3 track recording. Nice groove. I would love to hear you expand on this and combine it with some synths or something, but hell either way really really cool!

wow, that's impressive!

Hi Norm......nice groove man.........its got my head shaking, my arms shivering, my back bouncing, my legs levitating

Excellent norm you really can get a beat out of anything ......we used to play bows and arrows with our Berinbau we just had a bit of string instead of wire and the wood was. Bit of elder kept us occupied for hours in the spiny wood and the only sound we made from it was the loud Fadunk when we let the reed arrows fly at one ofd the cowboys.....

Just lovely. Well done.

Rocks. Nice work.

Stong work.

Great song!

Just beautiful. Nice work, gents!

Nice piano intro - I can tell you have been playing it for years. I think it works well with your Fat Stack riff.

Excellent.

I've got a fever and the only cure is "more mousetrap"!

Outstanding! Another great percussion track, which we have come to expect from you. Thanks for posting this!

Fantastic!

Well done!

Excellent. That mouse had it coming. Let me know when you are inclined to do a track about your bear problem: you'll need some heavier percussion for that one!

@Richard: Many thanks! The quick rapid tone was created by rapidly striking the mallets on the highest pitched (smallest)cabinet. Thanks for listening!

Thanks for posting this, Chris. 2 hours of Chicago radio air time - sweet. You did a great job of music selection. Alas, I did miss hearing your personal commentary on the second hour, but it says something that the radio station thought enough of your work to feature it over a 2 week period.

Nice work! And way to go on the computer closet... basically a cajon. I use cajon quite a bit: the key to building one is to make the striking face out of very thin ("aviation grade") plywood, if you can get your hands on some. Well done!

Excellent! It's great to hear you back on the keys - I've missed it.

That bass is simply too cool. I love what you have done with this pattern. Almost has an eastern feel in places... Having grown up near Winfield, KS (home of Dorothy), I can assure you that they have never heard anything like this before - they'd love it! They'd probably bake you a pie for the opportunity to do a little "scat" vocalization on the mix, and, afterwards, while tending to the livestock, they would ponder about the possibility of there actually being 3 kinds of music: country, Western & JAZZ.

You sound great with it already! I love mandolin.

Folks don't know what they are missing with your stuff. Very tight. I've really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Top notch.
