Bow, Diddley

Well...it's been a busy day in the studio.When I was a kid I remember the 'Rag and Bone man' on the streets near my gran's house with his horse and cart collecting all the junk (don't know if he built cigar box guitars...maybe). He had a distinctive call of "RAG AND BONE!!! that stuck with me all these years. This little ditty was the result. I had a lot of fun making garage band loops from handclaps and vocal lines using GarageBand with an extra track for one if my small Diddley bows. It has a kind if work song feel which I rather like. Hope ya like it too. If you do, please share...if anyone has memories or pics of these rag and bone men I would love to share them.

Great little song Phil! We just have the 'old iron' man around here. I wish there was someone who could take away all of these rags and bones!
