Author: monty on October 06 2006
--> Lately ive been mainly composing jigs and reels on teh banjo.
ive wrote about a dozen tunes, now im starting to arrange weird electronic settings for them.
this is my newest one.

i live in particularly racially diverse part of Glasgow.
On my way to work i walk down this big street called Shields Road, i pass all types of people on my way.
This is tune is dedicated to all those people,
be they Scottish,Arab,Polish,African,Chinese,Pished,Stoned or Sober.

ok yes, at first i wasn't sure where this was going but i really liked it towards the end. i do agree with astroid...perhaps some different instrumentation along with the banjo could make this song flourish even more. very interesting banjo plucking!! I love that i can't tell what culture is it's main influence (i think that may be part of your concept?).

seriously.

how do i make the fucking hotass reels like teh monty?

lovely! thanks

hi monty. im not stoned right now, but i feel kinda stoned now that im online at a coffee shop peeping out the epic folk banjo electronica. ROK! onto the downloading path of the monty epic saga. DUN DUN DUN

i love all of you so much.

its sucks for me not having the internet at the moment.
i dont get to listen to much of anyones stuff anymore. cos this internet cafe has no speakers.
all i can do is drop by and browse

haha i know the electronic stuff is a bit stoopid.
i agree about the instrumentation.
see, im quickly knocking out a few tunes at once. i might add some mandolin to this.

what i really want to do is get a band together and do this stuff live.
im going to post up an ep. once i finish a couple more tracks.

ps: astroid ill send you a gif of the sheet music for this so you can study it at your lesuire.

Great plodding jam. Interesting amalgam of elements. As weird as they seem at times, they work for me .
Very interesting stuff sir. Thank you for sharing and keep them coming.

Peace

Totally strange / Awesome.

haha, this is fucking fantastic
