My debut stand-up special BAG OF TRICKS is now available to watch, link in bio.
An hour of laughter, tears, and invaluable moral guidance. Give it a watch, give it a like, leave a nice comment, share it with some/all of your friends. A labor of love! I hope you enjoy it.
There was no wash board on the track, the percussion was created by myself, I used a cabassa, foot stomp on a piece of wood & mouth percussion. The rhythm was emphasised by me playing a Gibson acoustic guitar without using a pick. Paul King emphasised Mike Cole’s stand up bass part by playing a glass jug, Colin Earl played an acoustic grand piano & I also played a 1960 Fender Strat with my fingers through a 1963 Marshall top as well as singing the two vocal tracks. The recording took place in Pye Studio one on an 8 track machine through a Neve desk & Tannoy monitors
in NYC, sometimes you’re the person crying on a park bench, and sometimes you’re the person eating a giant chicken shawarma on a park bench, pretending like you can’t hear the person crying on an adjacent park bench
after my family was sodomized and bludgeoned to death by a pack of drug-crazed bikers, I leaned for emotional support on my two best friends: Ben and Jerry!
