"Beatles' Love Song Collection" by Jimi Handtrix

2 Hands, 1 Tire Pump & a '92 Strat. All unplugged with natural acoustics except the Strat, all thrown together in first takes, surely not #9, #9, #9. Must give credit to a Canon PowerShot, Windows Movie Maker and some fresh air.

Excellent suggestion, you know I recently wrote a parody of "More Than a Feeling" called "Morgan O'Freeman" which turns the great actor Irish for a day. Sometime this summer....thanx.

O MY GOD YOU ARE THE BEST. umm, how do you get different notes? i can only get like 1 note.... I like to do that infront of my dog and it scares them so bad :P... oh wait i just realized,a TIRE PUMP??? ok whats going on, i thought you were just doing that with your hands!?!?! PLEASE EXPLAIN!!

[pumpster999]

It's actually like whistling, you change the pressure and angle, in this case the area between my "peace fingers" on the lower right hand. The tire pump nozzle also gets its sounds from that exact "sweet spot" between the peace fingers. I took up tire pumping to give my hands a rest in comedy clubs. I think there's 3 tire pump players in the world. Yes, we all have too much time on our hands!

Thank you Sir Handman! Whilst I'm not worthy to use your Diaperene, I must admit the driving force to this project was the first ever revelation that "Eight Days A Week" was indeed written on February 32, 1964. We must all now meditate on this. Shhhhh.
