I love this brother, very cool & I'm amazed they didn't kick you off the plane...or arrest you!
Crazy mother&^%$#$!

This is mildly disturbing sounding

, and I find it amazing how well that noise works as a backing to the spoken vocal

Not exactly my cup of tea in a musical sense, but I am in so much admiration of your ingenuity and inspiration and don't think that there is a better example than this.

I think this would scare the shit out of me if I listened to it in a dark room late at night!

i was off my face on brandy and medication for my trapped nerve in neck.

You mentioned on some thread that you would record something for the fest on the plane. I thought you'd "smuggle" your uke in the lavatory, but this was more I could expect

.

What a creativity! Sounds more than experimental stuff! This is a song that has been recorded on the highest place in Songcrafters history, congrats! Hat off!!

I'm convinced that the meds were awesome, as you mentioned

. Is your neck ok, now?

the meds are awesome but not for my neck pain lol. still a tad sore but going back to gp for an alternative. posted a pic.

Great pic, what MBR effect did you add to the background noise...sounds like one of them weird ones around P64 and P65?

i just used effect 05 fornylon for onboard mic, but turned on tap delay and noise reduction and recorded to two tracks panned full left and right. i have the preset p05fornylon saved in users u05fornylon with those settings and use all the time.

If I would have heard that and turned round and seen you with that wee device I would have wrestled you to the floor,goat ye in an arm lock and shouted for the air Marshall .
