Orange Crate Art - Matt Munisteri and Will Holshouser

In the summer of 2006 a film crew from ARTE television in France stealthily slipped into the New York City, where upon they quickly crossed the East River and stormed the waterfront of my ancestral homeland, the Borough of Brooklyn. Of course, it being between a Thursday and a Tuesday, and between the hours of 9:37am and 7:42pm, I was naturally seated next to accordionist Will Holshouser, staring admiringly into the one way mirror that I've installed - in lieu the window which used to only serve to display the gaudy under-garments-strewn clotheslines of my neighbors - playing Van Dyke Parks songs. Using the hemp-like ribbons of morning glories which lattice the rear wall of my building, our camera-toting Gallic interlopers were thus able to climb the four stories to my fire escape, whereupon they proceeded to film an entirely oblivious me, in my most naked and private moments. Moments now forever violated. Moments I reserve for you, dear youtuber.

I love you both of you!

[OGMunisteri]

@ChasLeeViolet Thanks a lot. Incidentally I was really happy to see your version of the High Llama's song. I spent two years completely obsessed with their album Hawaii when it came out.

it is a good song and wonderful play!

In addition to the great playing (already noted), the description was excellent too. Thumbs up!

I think you cats brought the soul out of this tune, the way Van Dyke meant it to be felt.

@OGMunisteri Marvelous! It's my favourite album too!!! :)

Majestic! Bravo!

This is magnificent guys. You got all the dense chord changes, and you give the song even more heart than the original. (And that's no easy task!) Thanks for sharing this. I would love to know if Van Dyke Parks ever got a chance to hear this interpretation. He'd be honoured by it to be sure.

Matt is one of my absolute favorite guitarists of all time. Matt's album is incredible and I listen to it all the way through every time because i can't stop. Thanks for the video!
