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.....

Great vox! I like the horns as well as the unsympathetic left channel choristers, observing the narrator walks alone. Well done.

Beautiful job, Emily! I love it!

Ha! Very clever! I love the bass lick and vox... and I'm very proud to be a part of your first accoustic recording of cornet, flute and harmonica. Historic indeed. And what an interesting poem. I read up on it. Some highlights: With "Hysteria" Eliot created an unconventional poetic diction by using verse rhythms that were based on the cadences of speech rather than poetic structure. It is possible that the laughter may be a product of the woman’s ‘hysteria’, but it is more likely that the title applies to the narrator’s reaction to that laughter. “As she laughed,” he begins, “I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter and being part of it.” He begins to feel as though he has physically become the laughter he is observing." "The narrator’s goal is to collect pieces of the details he was able to capture in order to rebuild a coherent reality. The reader is left somewhat skeptical of this goal, however, because of the narrator’s doubtful language. “If” the woman’s breasts “could” be stopped, “some” fragments “might” be collected. Each line contains two distinct words of uncertainty, and by the end we are not sure that the narrator’s hysteria can be cured.

This is excellent! Great percussion and bass groove. Well done!

Here's to the ingenuity to customizing the tool to work for you, rather than the other way around. Sounds really great!

Cool story about Majnun. Very pro sounding production. Horns sound great to me.

I always love your piano work. Now this really works. I had to look up "Euler's Constant" but it's still Greek to me. Quite a mysterious number.

Carlsbad is a great cave... perhaps a bit commercialized: it actually has a US Post office in it's depths - 750ft below the ground. But the reverb in this piece is excellent: fitting of the 7th largest cave chamber in the world. Well done. (It would have been a long process getting that large of a choir up out of the cave on it's small elevator.)

I like your nurse, but whatever she gave me is freaking me out a bit. Who brought the chipmunks to church? Menacing work, V. Menacing. Sounds like a rough week.

Glad I listened up. Great voice.

What a voice! Great, funky, funky funk.

Oh so funky. Most excellent!

Ahh. You saved the best for last on your album. Excellent, all.

Very nice. I'm loving all the Christmas songs on AT today... well done VJ & JV.

Excellent. The percussion work is delightful.

I hope that you've found them by now! Great fun!

Excellent!

This is excellent!

Excellent!

Fire? Check. Snow shovel? Well, check (if I must - but I get to punt on one too, right?) Make music? Check. Congas tuned and awaiting their beating. EWABS? Check. Ready for a blizzard. Thanks for the 4 suggestions... although Monk has a nice addition. We are booked to get mucho snow tomorrow so I'll hopefully have an excuse to stay home and get something really important accomplished for a change, ELM or not.
