America's Got Talent is a very strange show that, by design, defies predictability. There are many good acts that don't move on and bad acts that do. We were on the show in a trio configuration and lasted about 10 seconds. However, I, personally, couldn't have cared less that we got canned so quickly. The important thing was that we got air time. A number of people who went there never had their performance aired. Thanks for your optimism, though.
We were on in '07. You are right about the uniqueness of the act, so I couldn't agree with you more. I don't know of any other musical hands duos out there(the third person played teeth)--especially at our skill level.
There is a certain amount of insanity to the show. I just hope that people realize that it isn't a classic talent contest. True talent can only get you so far in this show. Thanks...
My friends told me about your performance on youtube saying that wasn't possisble to make that sound with hands...when they saw that I could make the same sound with my hands they pray me every day to teach them how to do this
Oh my gosh!!! This is so cool! But, the Funiculi Funicula is a song that I first heard on Veggietales as a Silly Song called Larry's High Silk Hat. It was so funny! You might want to watch it, even though it is for little kids and is a Christain themed Saturday morning show. hehe.
Ive been doing this with my hands for years but I didn't know that anyone else could. Great to discover I wasn't the only one. Do you have to pay for the copyright or can you choose any songs and play them in public?
This is amazing. Many go to college and spends thousands to get college degrees and only make average incomes. You guys come along and squeeze your hands together and make millions ! There's something wrong with this picture..Ha!
No, we are manualists. We have appeared live on numerous TV shows, and at festivals and banquets. It would be impossible to fool people standing right in front of you. We play our hands right into their ears if they need proof.
Sorry Charlie, no special effects here, just pure air out of pure hands. I will admit there's extra reverb in our Fighting Irish fight song to give it stadium acoustics.
Hi Loxami---To answer your question: they can't be too wet or too dry. Finding the correct "in between" is part of the challenge of the art. Thanks for the comment.--Bruce Gaston
Bruce on the left gets the notes from between his thumbs. Me on the right forced out of the bottom "peace sign fingers" if you will. The more you attempt this, the stronger those muscles will get and the louder the sound....but you should have started in the 8th grade for best results!
We can do it because of a combined 70+ years of practice. It takes a lot dedication, a considerable amount of compulsivity, and a willingness to risk the loss of friendships of those who get tired of hearing you practice! :)
I (to the right) found "the gift" in '72 daydreaming in Mrs. Langdon's English class. The 4 Squeezins met in '98 and the rest is history----cause herstory is too long.
Hahahahaha!!!
