This is one of my favorite tunes of yours, Albert! I think that if Tim Burton played guitar, he'd probably write something like Junkman's Purse. What was your inspiration for this?
The title itself echoes your observation - it's something only a junkyard man would find beautiful, like a forgotten and mangled rusty old brass bed half stuck in a pink tulip patch - Like Tom Waits uses pipes and iron and slightly out of tune pump organs in his loveliest of ballads.
Thanks 2brski. No immediate gigs planned although I may be at the last two Sofga meetings. I can also be found at the Canadian Guitar Festival in Kingston this July - very excited!
For those interested, the tuning for Junkman's Purse:
Straight from the mic preamp and direct into the digital camcorder - actually, I was pleasantly surprised at how sufficient the quality was. It's just a cheap Apex 430 mic I bought used - it's all I got!
great tune, my friend
a wonderful deep groove, funky & percussive!

Just one other thing - You get great recorded tone from the mike you're using. Are you also using any on board electronics? What's the mike?
thanks much for the tuning above
