Booshman world ukulele contest featuring a low budget invisible man (Shoes by Charles Bukowski)

When you're young
a pair of female
high-heeled shoes
just sitting alone
in the closet
can fire your bones;
when you're old
it's just a pair of shoes
without anybody
in them
and just as well.

Charles Bukowski

That burbling babbling stuff at the beginning was Scottish mouth music

Whatever you do, it's unique and really great!

@ruskin51 I have done a couple of other Bukowski poems "Bluebird in my heart" and one other which I can't remember the name of... it must have been important at the time but now I have forgotten what it was.

This video, it sure got sole! What do you use to tweak the sound in your videos?

[weegingayin]

@ruskin51 I have no idea. I just fool around with flangers and phasers and distortion, echo and reverb until I get a sound I have never heard before and if I like it then I keep it, otherwise it gets junked. It is all done in Garbageband on an old MAC

Exceptionally low budget!

Thanks for sharing the Bukowski poems. I hadn't come across them before. I will investigate. I suppose that he had to fall back on the poetry after losing the face of L'Oréal gig. He makes W. H. Auden look boyish :-)

Also, I give you a 10 for that split you did through the video :D

We are living in a spiral galaxy, and our own DNA is a spiral double helix. You have spiral tornadoes and spiral whirlpools, and spiral snails shells. Spirals are everywhere in the tendrils of a pea plant to the flush in the aircraft toilet.

Our lives are often in a spiral... one that is out of control... so one less spiral in the universe is a blessing even if it is only a fake unicorn horn
