forever and a day, original-electric

Here is a song from several years ago. I thought it was lost with a bunch of other songs in the great thumb drive debacle. Dont know what I was trying to do with this copy, but boy did I screw it up. I think I have made it sort of decent enough to listen to. This had interesting setup. The guitar was an $80 pawnshop washburn w114. It was all jacked up with two or three long string remnants wrapped around the high e and b pegs just to start. That went into a digitech rp70 I got from gc for the $50 price of the rp55 as they were out of those. That went into a fender pr241 15watt. 8" amp I got from some little kid that had it on craigslist. I offered $18, his dad said ok, and it was mine. Got it home, heard this weird noise, and the kid had put a bunch of sand and pebbles through the steel mesh screen and into the two port holes. Then there was the zoom 123 drum machine I got from a guy at work for $20, which I had running through $15 computer speakers from walmart. Then, it was all recorded live with the tiny $50 sony udx71 recorders tiny internal mics as it sat on a coffee table a couple feet in front of everything. It takes a few seconds for the song to fade in. Picture from nasa.

Sounds like a night at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco circa 1968. What is the backing track?

Read the post properly. There is no backing track but a drum machine.

Sounds like someone has listened to a lot of good music in his life. Nice setup. Nice picture. Nice jam. Nice feel.

Thanks. The sum of the junky equipment was greater than its parts. I think that was somehow a sort of stock setting in the drum machine. But dont ask me how. I looked at the thing the other day and how the heck it works has escaped me.
