To be honest, when I FIRST saw the first few seconds of this video a while back, I thought it was gonna SUCK. NOW, I can't stop replaying. One of my favorite covers now. <3
@woohhah the uke is a Swagerty Singing Treholipee ukulele made in San Clemente, California in the 60's and marketed to Surfers to take to the beach and stick upside down in the sand when they were riding the waves.
Fantastical! You guys are awesome because you know we don't need expensive musical instruments to play good music! we only need creativity ,imagination and love for music!!
You guys just let me re-think the importance of that!
Hi guys, spot on, just got my first banjolele & was looking for inspiration, just decided to make a new tea chest as you reminded me of the fun we had with the old one.
.........KEEP MUSIC LIVE..................................
I can't believe you can play the tea chest that well. I just talked shit on some other vid claiming that no one could play nice basslines in tune on it, but you got pretty damn close.
yeah I know - but ... hammers, saws, nails .... cuts, bruises, being rushed to hospital ... bandages, plaster casts, visits from relatives etc etc ... it was easier this way!!
It's not just the music, the creativity you apply to the versions, it's also the histrionic performance you make, for instance, the wobble board, you are true musicians and comedians. Thanks for keeping posting more classic songs!
well as a musician myself (saxophonist) and general fun loving guy i would have to say you guys have hit the nail on the head for good old fashioned good music making whilsy having fun with your friends
GUS...My first introduction to your incredibly entertaining videos was tonight...They are just magic...To have so many laughs coupled with great music...thanks a lot...Favourites are...GET CARTER...ARE FRIENDS ELECTRIC and DOWN DOWN...Brilliant...keep doin' it please
It's fairly straightforward. The string is secured underneath the centre of the top of the box (Tea Chest) and tied to the top of the pole. The other end of the pole sits on the corner of the box. When you pull on the top of the pole and twang the string it makes a note. This is amplified by the box and will change depending on how hard you pull the pole.
No more records ,studios and expensive stuff just home made music you can watch and rewatch on internet.
And there is so manythings to do like different groups or alone player playing a song or melody as they feel , we have somany possibilities...(sorry for my english)
I check your site obsessively, and after waiting a MONTH for some gol-darned monkees, I can only hope you are up late, editing furiously to bestow upon the faithful another mini-masterpiece before the weekend is through...
Very Nice
