awesome..improv specialy the chairs.. nice uniques sound... get the vocals to some how be louder and youd be set! awesome though a easy bar performance you guys could pull off!
Nice job, lads. Now, if only they made an electric strum stick for us hard rockers. BTW, not the first time I've seen Andy play the chair. Drum Circle @ Sea Cliff...can't beat that. (Pun intended.)
There's just enough time to make music -- if you take the time! Way to go, guys. Some of the best music isn't on our iPods, it's in our own hands. Keep it up.
Thanks! I wrote it the day I got the Strumstick; it took about as long to write as it takes to sing. The instrument is not homemade; you can get one by going to Bob McNally's site. I don't remember the address, but if you google "Strumstick" it will pop right up.

What "making" music is all about. On another note, good thing the grandfather's clock wasn't nearby.

I just now had a vision of Andy sitting on a bass drum while keeping time on the chairs *grin* ... MARVELOUS VIDEO!
What a pretty li'l tune and with such simple instrumentation.
Can't wait to share this!

I dig this. Would love to hear the lyrics a bit better though. Love the simplicity though.

Sweet song! It would make a great singalong with a group of people. Nice sounds on unusual instruments! What's a strumstick and is it homemade too?

This is delightful! Loved the percussive chairs, the catchy melody, the vocals. So much fun can be had with friends and musical instruments.

Perhaps you can play a blender or a toaster next time :)
