Show #387: "The Eggman Collection #121"

NOTE: Due to an illness in my family which has me a little distracted at the moment, plus working 50-plus hours a week, I will be doing only Eggman Collection specials in the next couple of months until things slow down in the fall. I'm calling it "The Back-To-Back Eggman Collection End Of Summer Super Spectacular Extravaganza!"
The Eggman Collection is basically a big potpourri of every song I've ever liked in my life...EVER! It's literally a huge mixing bowl full of songs written onto tiny pieces of paper. Over 15,000 songs that I've been compiling for the past 20-plus years of my life. Every song I've ever liked has gone into this bowl, and every three weeks I draw them out one-by-one and play them for you in no particular order. A mix of everything and anything I like, no matter what genre, era, style or year of release...if I like it, then I'll play it! No repeats of the same song ever! Tune in tonight (Friday) at 10pm EST for the 121st installment of The Eggman Collection and hear bands and artists like: Gnidrolog, The Easybeats, The Ventures, The Happy Return, Beacon Street Union, UFO, Food, Ron Geesin & Roger Waters, Stackridge, Fairport Convention, The Electric Prunes, Rockin' Horse, Lazy Smoke, Bob Dylan, Os Mundi, Shocking Blue, Grobschnitt, and many others!!

Good luck, this is a great idea. 

I make a bunch of different home-made instruments, from stringed to percussion. 

I recommend poking around the Cigar Box Nation site. There are thousands of do-it-yourselfers on there and they have made many variations of what you intend to make. 

Also, a great book entitled "Hand Made Music Factory" by M. Orr is a wonderful book that shows you step by step how to make a variety of these instruments from reclaimed/recycled materials.

The web has everything you need. 

But your idea sounds great, have at it. You can always modify it after you build and the trial by error begins. Bottom line: great idea = just do it!

Actually it is pretty well built as it is an older one.

OK, thanks, I'm getting a picture here. Those inboxes are kind of lightweight, no? Hope you don't rock it to pieces too quick.

Thank you Caryn. I might try glueing a non-slip bathtub pad to the board. Also, good idea about the chain.

They have this stuff that comes in a roll with a sticky backing...it's used for stairs and such to prevent slipping...or how about those stick on rubber things that go on the bottom of a bathtub or shower so you don't slip.

I will also post a video or something after it's complete...

I was also considering using chain against the license plates...like a snare sound.

This is a percussion instrument. I have a 10 3/4 x 15 1/2 piece of wood  (which is screwed to the top of a wooden office inbox) which hangs  5  1/2" over the edge of this box. By pressing at the end of this board, the box makes an up and down motion. The dugout is where I will place the tamberene (which i plan to affix to this device), so I can easily pull it out.   I am thinking about tying a bungee cord to the tamboreen as an alternative. 

I hope I was able to clarify things with this post.

I don't understand what this kickstand is, or where the bucket goes or what a dugout is. In fact, I don't understand anything about this! What is this thing for? I see a mention of drums, is this a percussion instrument? I don't get it.

Good luck with the "Idaho Drum," Caryn.

Anyway, after assembling the main parts to this contraption, I discovered the slickness of the wood is a problem. Time to find some non-slick rubber and/or maybe add a Velcro strap to go around my shoe. Otherwise, my beat is more uncoordinated.

When I am done, i will put up a YouTube video explaining how I built this and how it runs.

I might steal your license plate idea...it sounds interesting...and I just had to replace the plates on my car, so I already have 2 plates ready to go ;)

Am getting ready to do the same type of thing...I am calling it the Idaho Drum Kit...I don't plan on doing the one man band kind of setup though, because, to tell you the truth, I am not that coordinated...

I am in the process of creating a DIY percussion stompbox. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

I have a 10 3/4" x 15 1/2" wooden office outbox. I am going to screw a 6" x 9 1/8" foot  board to create a sort of a kick stand on the bottom of the box.  I want to add a dugout, bracket or something similar  in which I can easily put in and pull out a tamberine. Also, I will place various nuts, bolts, nails, coins and whatever in a can and create an area to slide this canister into. I also am going to make it easy to add and remove this canister. I will have a thick wooden board to bang the drum onto.

I will mike this up and put it through my spare practice Silvertone guitar amp. 

In addition,  I plan to experiment with putting Velcro on a license plate and attaching it to my shoe and  banging the plate on the bottom board.

Another experiment will be placing the license plates on the bottom board and hitting my pedal on this board. 

This is something my son and I are messing with to have fun.

Has anybody one here ever tried anything like this before? Any comments, suggestions, etc. would be much appreciated.

I totally love 45s, and some of my very favourites would be The Masters Apprentices "Undecided', The Kinks "Waterloo Sunset", Small Faces "All Or Nothing", Ramones "Do You Wanna Dance", Haunted "1-2-5", MC5 "Looking At You" and Buzzcocks "Ever Fallen In Love".
Here's a pretty casual blog dedicated to various 45s in my own colection. Hasn't been updated recently, but I'll get back to that as summer winds down.

Was there a picture sleeve with that? What else did you find?

FAVE RECENT 45 SCORE - Paul Revere and The Raiders "Orbit - The Spy" b/w "Beatnik Sticks".

This was their very first single , on Gardena. I thought it was the second , but , I looked it up (Not on WIKI! HA!) . "Orbit" is a killer Surf / Ventures -ish instrumental , that goes thru about 10  tempo changes. It's like they spliced ten songs onto one , and it worked.  "B.S." is similar to the follow - up and their first hit , "Like , Long Hair", BUT , i THINK IT'S THE BETTER OF THE TWO.

"Orbit - The Spy" was mentioned in an article in Kicks ,  IN THE 80'S , about "Grunge Guitar" , back when the more or less self - coined term MEANT something.

Don't envy me , tho'. It took me YEARS to find this , and it's certainly playable , but not in great shape. I had to root thru the cellar of a local antique store that REEKS of soot. My eyes were burning for two days when I went back there , this past week .

Wow , great sleeve art. "Kuk" , of course , is a classic. I have the single with the also - classic "Baja" ON THE FLIP.

Great EP. A lot of people thought they were Canadians , or , at least , Canucks relocated to Texas (In a sort of Draft - Dodger exchange program.Sorry , that was'nt funny. I don't think Canada HAD the draft.). In fact , I found a pretty good Canadian 60's and 70's comp on a big label , and "Writing on The Wall' was on it ! These guys were'nt even HONORARY Canadians , like Ronnie Hawkins. Oh , well.
