Diddley-bow Stomp

2012-02-17T08:49:49.189Z

A little piece I made up to showcase my "Diddley-beau" build completed last year, and featuring Elmar's new "Diddley bug" Flatpup one, an amazing little beast I hope Elmar will continue to produce! One string guitars are a lot of fun to play and though this is not strictly a proper board-and-bottle Diddley-bow it suits me fine, though the neck could do with a little more stiffening, it has to be handled carefully...oh well, next time!

Guitar : Diddley-beau
Drum :The Cannon/Jingle ring
Marshall AS50D, Boss DS-1

PLAY LOUD!

To be included on mini-album "Slowpaw Brew".

A1(M)

2012-02-15T16:06:19.549Z

A new song about a much taken for granted British icon The Great North Road - I got the idea for the song when i heard the road remains a favourite with Truckers, everyone in the UK has used it at one time or another and are always glad to get off it, I've done a few ton up and down there myself, it's really not such a bad trip!
A taster from the new "Slowpaw Brew" mini-album, I shouldn't think I could manage this song live, it's really a band number though I'd enjoy seeing what a more talented player could do with it! (-;

Guitar : The Sheriff
Bass : Epiphone SG
Drums : Roland TD-12
Marshall AS50D, Boss Blues Driver / Distortion, Boss SE-70.

PLAY LOUD!

"A1(M)"

TRUCKER'S DREAM
CONSTANT STREAM
HUNDREDS OF JUGGERNAUTS
WITH NOTHING IN BETWEEN.

GREAT NORTH ROAD
WILL EXPLODE
BIGFOOT THUNDER
POUNDING DOWN THEIR LOAD.

CHORUS: A1(M)...A1(M)...A1(M)...

LIKE LOCOMOTIVES
THOSE ARTICS POUND
400 MILES OF TARMAC
TEARING UP THE GROUND.

PETROLEUM AND CAR PARTS
MAGAZINES AND GAS
BUILDING BRICKS AND BISCUITS
AND STUFF TO WIPE YOUR ASS.

CHORUS: A1(M)...A1(M)...A1(M)...

HERTFORD TO CAMBRIDGE
DONCASTER TO LEEDS
THIRSK AND OLD SCOTCH CORNER
TO BERWICK UPON TWEED.

HEAVY DIESEL ENGINES
RATTLING YOUR BRAIN
LONDON TO EDINBURGH
THERE AND BACK AGAIN.

CHORUS: A1(M)...A1(M)...A1(M)...

Slowpaw Brew

2011-10-26T15:36:58.714Z

A kind of biographical song of my events this year featuring Slowpaw Steve T (AKA Potbelly Pig!) with the Middlesex County Hobo Itinerate Gospel Choir (Zeke asked me to mention his Banjo solo at the end...!).
I wanted a gritty sound so just pushed up the gain a little on the mixing desk.

Guitar; Punch 2
Drum; Roland TD-12 Bass Drum.

PLAY LOUD!

SLOWPAW BREW

FROM THE GARDENS OF OLD DENHAM,
TO THE BACKROADS OF KENT,
TO THE HILLS OF DEEPEST DEVON,
WHEREVER I WENT.

WITH A CIGAR BOX FROM HONDURAS,
SOME WOOD FROM THORNTON'S MILL,
A FLATPUP FOUR FROM KLANGBOX,
I BUILT ME A STIL.

CHORUS -
IF YOU'RE FEELING DOWN MY FRIEND,
A LITTLE TIRED AND BLUE,
TAKE A LITTLE TIP FROM ME AND TRY MY BREW!
IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO,
COME ALONG AND SIT RIGHT HERE,
TRY MY BREW!

YOU CAN KEEP YOUR FANCY WHISKY AND YOUR FOGGY MOUNTAIN DEW -
I'LL JUST KEEP ON SINGIN' 'BOUT MY SLOWPAW BREW!
GRANPAW, SISTER, MAMA TOO,
FOLKS 'LL GET ACQUAINTED WITH
SLOWPAW BREW!

CHORUS -
IF YOU'RE FEELING DOWN MY FRIEND,
A LITTLE TIRED AND BLUE,
TAKE A LITTLE TIP FROM ME AND
TRY MY BREW!
IF YOU GOT NO MONEY AND YOU
HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE,
DON'T GET UP AND FRET NOW,
JUST TRY MY BREW!

REPEAT CHORUS.

THANK YOU MOST KINDLY FOLKS! (-:
