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.....

I was glad to finally comprehend what he was saying...

YES! Fantastic!

There’s something to be said about dragging a song that has been a bit of a nemesis to you, for over a year, out to *your turf* to give it another listen. To a faithful car that you have known for many years, and inside of whom you have listened to many songs - over a speaker system that you have memorized. I know what you are doing. You aren’t finished with this piece yet, so you just keep looking and looking. It kind of reminds me of gold-mining in a way: if you quit digging you can’t strike the mother lode.

I always love hearing you sing. Well done!

Ha! Yep, you're a kid - you probably love going to the zoo - if for nothing else but to capture more sound samples. Don't ever loose that. Forget the stove.

Classic Vaisvil! Great mix and video... coupled with some LCPeep guitar work. The percussion was created on a snowed-in weekend, in which my family pronounced that I was to be “persona non percussionata”, fearing that my drums would drive them all crazy. (This is a recurring problem for me at my house, which I have managed to work around in various ways) As usual, I had a powerful jones to drum a bit. So, in the spirit of Cuban slaves, forced to make instruments out of what ever they could find and to Bembe while the Boss was out of ear-shot, I cleverly waited until everyone was napping and constructed a clandestine Illesa pattern, deep in the pantry, utilizing only the dry goods found there. Thanks to powered mics, which pick up even the quietest delicate sounds, it was a perfect crime. Had I been detected, it would have been off with *my* head.

Great voice.

Thank you, Alister.

Hilarious! Yep, I thought I was looking at a Hubble photo. Great example of the power of suggestion. That Flint lens gets me every time - there's no way the photo used here is for real, right? Looks dangerous to me.

Perhaps while you are slow over the next couple months, I could borrow your absynth, whip... and the evil kitty??

Ha! Good one! If I didn't keep my kids out of the studio while I was recording the conga tracks, it would have sounded a lot like this originally. And I want to go to Brian's pub.

Perfect.

Superb (and great job on the bar stool, as well!)

Nice, indeed.

I like how you almost go into "Mission Impossible" around 6:00. Great improv! It's good to hear some live trap-set work.

@ Alister: Ha! I have a cuica - and I'm always looking for an excuse to play it - but I usually associate it with Brazilian carnival / samba music. But now that you have mentioned it, I'm going to fire that up in the near future. And thank you, but Pedro & Mauricio are legend, and light years ahead the stuff I produce.

Yes, an instant classic. (And on this one I think I have actually figured out what the underlying image is behind the "Flint lens" graphic. Well, the title helped a little.)

I just love your bass work here. What a treat!

Whoa! Way to bring Saint Monica across the border! And while she probably doesn't have a current visa, I'm certain she has a smile on here face upon hearing this provocative guitar work. Well done!

Humpin'! Great work!
