When I Die

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."

Oldtimey version of Legend of Zelda's "Kakariko Village" theme. Banjo, harmonica, guitar and washboard.

Cluck, Old Cucco! (Kakariko Village)

My version of "Windmill Hut" aka "Song of Storms" from the video game "Zelda - Ocarina of Time" on button-box accordion, autoharp and toy piano. The spinning noise is from a pokemon card on a bike tire. Now make it rain.
