Whole Bag of Wrong (Samm Bennett live, 4/22/2011)

recorded live at the "This & That Cafe" series, Super Deluxe, Tokyo, on April 22, 2011. Here I'm playing the stick dulcimer and a stompbox.

WHOLE BAG OF WRONG

we took the long way round
we took the long way round
and we still only made it to the edge of town
we took the long way round

i'm just a ball of nerves
i'm just a ball of nerves
like i got no breaks on a hairpin curve
i'm just a ball of nerves

it's just a whole bag of wrong
it's just a whole bag of wrong
i can't even hardly sing this song
it's just a whole bag of wrong

i'm singing backwards now
i'm singing backwards now
say it still sounds forwards but i don't know how
i'm singing backwards now

i'm gonna bide my time
i'm gonna bide my time
someday these nickels gonna all be dimes
i'm gonna bide my time

you were counting by twos
i was counting by threes
but somehow you reached a hundred baby
way ahead of me

i'm gonna beat the drum
i'm gonna blow the fife
i'm catching one last train
i'm gonna ride it for life

Awesome, but what is it that your are playing? It's not a stick dulcimer or traditional mouthbow.

@Gutbucketeer - it's a mouthbow, although like many modern designs, it's not a bow shape, but rather a straight stick. Still, these are generally referred to as mouthbows. This one has a rattan strip instead of a metal string. It is also tunable. made in Hungary. And thanks for listening!
