Anytime you can see John Jr, well that is just a nice treat. You know I really like to see how their voices changed over the years. Beautiful post. Did you notice in the end Herbert's voice?
Forgot to add that the different notes are made by putting your tongue to the roof of your mouth. By cupping your hands and varying the size, blowing into it like a humming and the tongue action, you can make some pretty cool music. Used to do that as a kid to entertain my friends. Had no money for an instrument and couldn't afford lessons even if I had one, so the next best thing, the hand horn.
SatanMadeMe The horn sound is made by cupping your hands over your mouth and making a kind of nasal blowing sound or modulate your vocal chords, sort of like a kazoo. You can imitate a couple of different instruments. The sounds can be quite pleasant and really resonate if you get into a room, like a bathroom with tile or shower even.
@SatanMadeMe The Mills Brothers were known for making sounds like a horn etc to add to the music. Probably came out of not having money to purchase instruments. At any rate, pretty damn good, eh?
@vmueller61 Well its not a horn. You can see him raising his hands and like blowing something? It can't be a harmonica, thats a whole different sound.. I need to know what intstrument it is! :O
@rdpharris And yet she fell madly in love with Alan Ladd in the 50s and was ready to leave Powell. He confronted Ladd and told him there was NO WAY he would let June go....and that was the end of their brief affair.
Recorded with ONE microphone on ONE track in ONE take; no limiters, no auto-tune; just five people making REAL music!!!!
