Thumb Sucker  A1 Project

This is another 1 mic recording, just me and guitar, recorded on my 8 track in the living room, no effects or overdubs. I'm having a bit of decorating done in the house, so it's bare bones on the music front at the minute, a lot of gear packed away. So this  Is my song Push It Down The River, but I decided to try singing using my natural Geordie dialect/accent , oddly though it doesn't feel too normal  singing like this, but I've given it a go. Maybe just a one off, I'll see!

Thanks as always for listening and inspiring!

Push It Doon The River For Ye

Posturing Preening and all about Ego
The politics in GB are all a go go
How refreshing it would be to see
a result rather than another soundbite
by a Sleaze who has bitten off 
more than they can chew…
if only, IF ONLY they really were there
to serve me and you!

Politics a Go Go

The banjo is a musical instrument with African origins, believed to have been developed by enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and later brought to North America. The exact origins of the banjo are unclear, but it is thought to have evolved from similar stringed instruments in West Africa, such as the akonting or ngoni

The banjo first gained popularity in the United States during the 19th century, particularly in the American South, where it became associated with African American music and culture. Early banjos were typically made with gourds for resonators and animal skin for the drumhead, and were played using a technique called frailing or clawhammer, in which the player's fingernail or a piece of bone is used to strike the strings

In the late 19th century, the banjo underwent a period of rapid evolution, with improvements in materials and construction leading to the development of more sophisticated and versatile instruments. One important development was the introduction of the resonator, a wood plate behind the open drum that increased the volume and projection of the banjo's sound. Another was the development of the five-string banjo, which added a shorter fifth string that allowed for more complex playing techniques

The origins of the 5-string banjo are unclear, but it is believed to have been developed by African American musicians in the mid-19th century. The addition of the fifth string, which is shorter than the other four strings and is tuned to a higher pitch, allowed for a wider range of notes and made it easier to play certain melodies and chord progressions

One of the early pioneers of the 5-string banjo was Joel Sweeney, a white musician from Virginia who popularized the instrument in the mid-1800s. Sweeney is often credited with introducing the shorter fifth string, as well as other improvements to the banjo, such as the addition of frets and the use of metal strings

However, it's important to note that the development of the 5-string banjo was likely a collaborative effort among many musicians, both black and white, and its exact origins are difficult to trace. Nonetheless, Sweeney's contributions were significant and helped to establish the modern form of the instrument that is still popular today

During the early 20th century, the banjo became a popular instrument in a variety of musical styles, including jazz, blues, and country music. The instrument was played by a number of famous musicians, including Earl Scruggs, who popularized a three-finger picking style that became known as the Scruggs style

In recent years, the banjo has experienced a resurgence of popularity, particularly in the realm of folk and Americana music. Today, the banjo is played in a wide range of styles and genres, and is appreciated for its unique sound and cultural significance in musical storytelling

Hi, I'm Chris and I am a research scientist by day and a songwriter in my spare time. I joined SC in 2013 and I mainly record acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies, but also like playing electric guitar, bass, keyboards and using drum loops.

My musical influences include Syd Barrett, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon, and increasingly fellow SoundClouders; My favourite bands include Yes, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Rush and Steely Dan, and I also listen a lot to The Beatles, Elton John, The Who, Van Morrison, Genesis, King Crimson,  Jethro Tull, Sparks, Stevie Wonder, The Grateful Dead to name but a few...

Anyway, please feel free to get in touch - I can make any tracks (in whole or in part) available if you want them for collaborative reasons, or if you just want them for your mp3 collection :)
