One man band singing Man of Constant Sorrow - cigar box guitar - harmonica - stomp box - footbells

Captain Tricko at Jacaranda Festival 2009

havin a go at Caloundra Market on a Sunday - with granpa's cigar box guitar n the stomp n footbells - the surf wus flat - the corn wus dry - it wus time to do or die - so i hooked up that ol voice of mine - and tried to sing like Patsy Kline - Lord have Mercy ! ! !

A simple statement:This simple music is made from simple instruments. However both simple people AND complex people seem to enjoy it. The 3 string cigar box guitar with dulcimer fretting simply tuned to G was made by Ray from Tauranga NZ. The stomp box was an impulsive purchase from Noosa Music. The simple harp part is otherwise known as the Mooloolaba Saxaphone, because of its simplicity, of course. I found the footbells in the gutter at Tamworth Music festival .

Captain Tricko & the LOW RENT ORCHESTRA got filmed by a nice girl called GAYA - the folks in ClownTown stroll by - the surf was flat that day - so what do you do - sing the blues dude, Oh yeah sing the blues !

The Low Rent Orchestra / One Man Band / monosoriginalos gets to sing on this one ! Grandpa's cigar box guitar supplies the melody part and we have stomp - left foot , right foot - mooloolaba saxaphone too !

Low Rent Orchestra / One Man Band / monosoriginalis music for anglers and failed christians. the blues with a triple bypass . the swamp people don't have no t v - just a bunch o crude instruments - an somethin else too - singin way down in the boondocks !

a crude presentation for the new cd - hail the new minimalism ! ! ! long live the yeti ! ! ! No flat earthers allowed ! ! !
