wedge through my Brain

[taffsdad]

in no way is this as good as any Beefheart track...but the wedge in my Brain made me do it....hope the mp3 uploads, if not its on my desktop and Ill post in the correct thread if someone points me in the right direction..

Thats a sweet little warped tune man, I love it.  Very quick on the draw.  great vocal.  What the hell are you playing there, clicky clack clack.

Hi Bluesberry the thing Im playing is a kalimba, I think they are also called African Thumb Piano, got it whilst on holiday in Lanzarote.....this one is tuned to the pentatonic scale.....by the guy who made it, he said that they can be tuned just about anyway you wish......he had some fantastic instruments...big Bass Kalimbas, one of the best things about them is the fact that anyone can play....all the notes sound good together if it is tuned correctly...ps you can get an App....I think you can probably get an App to do anything or be anything.....crazy world we live in, but good one

just what I needed after a crazy day's work
Love that kalimba, I wonder where's mine, made out of a sardine can, couldn't get a note out of it...

great post John

Rock On!

Daniel thanks my friend...Sardine Tin Kalimaba.....? couldn't get a note out of it ? are you sure you took all the Sardines out.....
Thanks Hook its a wonder I havnt broke mine yet........just recently put a new Graphics card in a desktop pc....few problems later and it now has a 4 gig hard drive...the other 256 gig being unacessible for the moment...but I have it sorted.......says he with a crooked grin ...and an adapter off Ebay.....this could turn into my next song

uploaded in covers if not your original song. either. way I enjoyed
it all  the way . that clickity clack . kind of sound was really well played
whatever it was as a comment above noted. a fun piece 2 thumbs up
worth a bump cheer s NEIL.!

thanks Neil....the Clickety Clack is a Kalimba...but to tell you the truth I like the Clickety Clack so from now on my Kalimba is my Clickety Clack...the only bit that's not all mine is the Wedge through my Brain, this was in a Comment in the thread on Captain Beefheart, I think I said something like that would make a great song, someone then suggested a thread for songs that started with a given first line....I liked the idea so did this, don't really write songs now just make them up as I play...my logic is that I cant get the words wrong because they don't exist...I do actually find it hard to read and sing...its as though I have to get the words right..just spoils the flow for me, I suppose I will actually write again....in fact my next song will be written...

I like the sound of that kalimba thingy, and the vocal has a nice blues-gospel thing going on - like you're on a chain gang somewhere! Another slice of 'real' music. And I love the title too.
