    I clicked fave 30 seconds in just for the sound of those guitars. Or guitar. Sounds plural. Love the piece - it's perfect for what it is. It's a really really great sound. Makes me salivate to write a song to that sound...

    Cigar box guitars :D Such a simple but amazing sounding instrument! Yes, I layered a second guitar part, played on the same one though. http://imgur.com/gallery/QZBjOoT I still have these ones. The black one in the center is the one I played on here and Ghost of a guitar, my fav. Been making them for a year now, giving them away as gifts. I have more tunes on various other ones but cleaning up my page I took them down, hear some more of them here though https://www.reverbnation.com/1096781/album/117064 Once I used a violin bow on my 2 string cookie tin, who ever knew a cookie tin could make sounds like that!! Thanks CitizenMofo, more homemade guitars and music played on them in the works.

    Yes a very fitting description :p Seems anything I play on that electric 3 string falls into that category ;) My page is an absolute mess!! Any surprise as I'm a cleaner for a living hahahaha. I'm going to delete everything and reupload making it nice and tidy again. I've made and given away a few cds of cigar box guitar music. My co worker played one at work and the guys kept looking at me, this is you? really?? I'm going to set up a band camp account and put up an album for free download as well as on Reverbnation once I figure out how. Joe Cramer put together this one of collabs we've done, not all is cbgs but should hold you over. https://www.reverbnation.com/1096781/album/117064 Always a pleasure Ed, stay tuned for more, new one up today.

    Stuck on the river as the ice wells up the sides of my boat. Too warm now, Cant even go Ice fishing yet. Never seen a January like this in Ottawa. Feels like March. Song fits the blues we are feeling not being able to skate down the rideau canal yet.
    Emotive and awesome as usual Burt.

    Thanks Steve, your favorite guitar again hahaha It is one warm January! I don't remember it being this warm in a long time, was wondering if you guys were as warm being a bit further north. Have the zombies made it up there yet? I heard about some kids falling through the ice where I used to live, they're fine, but that river froze every year and people would use it as a shortcut to get intown, not this year!

    Very well done Burt
    This is truely something in a style i love.
    And it cries in me ears for some deep dark and warm vocals.
    the sound of your new CBG creation is excellent.
    We should do something in this style when we do our next collab

    stay tuned

    I definitely want to record more like this. I'll send you the stems for this to play with, I was thinking vocals be cool addition. In the next few days I'll try and get more recordings done as well. My newest one I need to change the bridge to a thinner bolt to lower the action, works great for slide but I get sharp notes when fretting them. Watch for some stems :p

    Going very well Jamid thanks :D Now if I can just find more music time!! Enthralling is a perfect description. cbgs seem to have that effect on people, especially when played slow like telling a tale. I love this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz5wMGovkuQ

    Great composition. You really captured the essence of the art sonically. You can almost see the water rippling as pieces of ice slide down into the depths.

    Been so busy lately I haven't done much music. I had Martin Luther King day off and came across Dan's art composition which I usually participate in. Winter is the theme this time so I had to blow the dust of my cbg and play a little something :p I love the way those guitars can tell a tale all on their own! Thanks TA I trying to do one for a pic from the dust bowl era, not for any competition, just for fun. Pictures have a way of inspiring audio tales.

Description : Update Nov 11.: Mastered
Many might be surprised to hear music here that lies somewhere between chanson and folk.
We wanted to write a song that wasn't dominated by synth or electric sounds. The text was written by Claudia Boekels, the music largely by Angelica Schwanitz and to a lesser extent by Manuela Boekels.

We were especially looking forward to the wonderful collaboration with Tanja Wirtz, who has great talent on the accordion, and Danior, who can make his violin cry.

Description : What happens when a short but hypnotic celtic intro turns into something completely different? The most noteworthy collaborator on this track (yeah you guessed, it's Tumbleweed) answered correctly to this question! A newly patented musical genre is what happens...yes..."SlovenianCelticCowboyMusic" is born. Sometimes we just have to cut off from being too serious...The version presented here has been carefully chosen from 4856 or so mixes...
As always all thanks to my dear friend Ed who makes such wonders possible to happen.....

Description : I was told to do a better description this time. Blast you, Dr. Evil! You know descriptions are my one weakness!

I just couldn't get this one to sound right but Micky added accompaniment that sounds great. All music is by him. This song is the 1st modernized song I know of using Mohegan language.

Translations are in the lyrics.

Please do let us know what you think about it, and if you are now afraid of zombie children in meadows.

Description : I had a lot of fun recording my last folk song, so I thought I'd take a stab at recording another one. This time I limited myself to 2 for all my vocals and instruments (guitar, piano, ukulele and organ). Enjoy the song and leave a comment letting me know your thoughts :)

Description : This is a country/folk track in a genre I don't do much, so I thought I'd give it a go. It also has some instruments I don't use much, namely the banjo, mandolin and fiddle. I got the title from a movie I saw a few months ago. Hope you enjoy, Scott.

Description : Kindofa '60s work song. Another song from my collab with Sunny War. This is the first song on our album HELP which we should get done this month. This song started with looperman-l-0498019-0072501-tumbleweed-90-g-slow-train-rhythm, a great rhythm guitar riff; the song just emerged out of it without effort. Props to Tumbleweed and his great guitar loops which I have often used. Then there were three other loops, drum, piano and lead guitar. Sunny replaced the guitar loops with her acoustic picking, using Tumbleweed's loop as the inspiration. The drum and piano loops remain: looperman-l-1703213-0101854-deathsquadktown-1994-inspired-hip-hop-drum-beat 90, looperman-l-0592478-0101770-designedimpression-piano-loop-will-power-94 g. Thank you, loopers! Feedback please!

Description : Start the new year off with a folk song about a train, a song about taking the long way home. This one is for Stobe the Hobo, RIP.

Description : I wanted to do something different like i do normaly. And I think that I was successful.
A -drum n chill folk song-. A kind of hippie music in colorful garb of the modern era.
At the end of the track there is a bonus.
Something in the way of bonfire music.

Description : Totally different story here as I wondered if I manage to capture the real feel of the genuine folk music which I love as much as the electronic one. I also added some classical twist like oboe or short cellos arpeggio. Very basic arrangement though, still feel more confident with pure electronic sounds.

Description : A short folk instrumental number with drums, bass, acoustic guitar, mandolin, cello and harmonica. I would say this is more an interlude than a song, something to put between songs.
