Interesting Instrument
When Matt first told us our next post topic, Interesting Homemade Instrument, I began searching the web for something awesome. After visiting several, and I mean several websites, I couldn't find anything that really drew my interest. It was then I remembered last spring while visiting LA, I saw one of the most outrageous street performers on the Santa Monica Pier. He managed to put together a one man band using modern instruments and rigging up some of his own. He played original songs and ones you would recognize, most likely from your parents music collection. I sat and watched him play for an hour, not because the music was fantastic but because he was able to play all these unique blends of homemad instruments and blend them with an eccentric style to play real ones at the same time. Here is a link to a youtube video I found of him, which took me forever to find, it turns out he was on the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T34DAgLmxoA I hope you are as amazed/impressed/mind boggled by this guy. Please enjoy.

That guy is pretty funny . . . comedy AND music. I can't quite figure out what drives the automatic tambourine shaker, but that's one of the coolest parts of his contraption, in my opinion. Nice job tracking him down! I'm not sure you can call whatever he was doing singing, though . . . but it was very funny, whatever he was saying.
