Description:

A feeble attempt at adding something to the lovely music of waitswatcher. Waitswatcher - Uklele, Slide Guitar, and Weissenborn Tap - Lyrics, electric guitar, & tuning fork (some of the odd effects in the background come from holding a vibrating tuning fork near the pickups, hitting the pickups with the fork, and using the fork as a slide). La Rota di Catherine when you use your heart you don't see .. when you take it down I was near the border in mexacali ... working as a hand, i lost my leg at the knee ... but i got close to a girl - kin to Boss Tweed ... i made a little racket so she'd notice me She was on the line in Calexico, ... She'd got the notion I had a little dough ... I guess she figured she could make it rise ... I figured I could live with a lie .. she's got a revolver made of carbide and steel - and the chambers do a dance call the Catherine Wheel Her father was sent to the Philippines, ... before he left he said come dance with me ... she saw \powder on his .38 Long ... and he taught her a dance and a sad song ( Catherine Wheel)... Her father died of a heart attack ... Near the shore in a make-shift barrack ... she was got a flag and his .38 ... she took home the Colt and hate She was married the first time on Christmas Day ... To a man who had sailed half his life away ... He was found to be philandering ... He was found on the bottom of the Bay She learned to grift, not beg or borrow ...She figured you'd 'ave lost it tomorrow ...She made her way to New York City ... And put bullets in the ballot box and ballots in the kitty She's got a revolver made of carbide and steel - and the chambers do a dance call the Catherine Wheel there's a bee in her bonnet after all, that's where I put the hive She's got a revolver made of carbide and steel - and the chambers do a dance call the Catherine Wheel There's lipstick on a bullet meant for me .. I can hear the chorus' from Gallilee ... the chamber does a dance you can briefly see ... ... and then fires a bullet meant for me (Catherine Wheel) cedars of lebanon canvas thee ... while a shed my skin, and pray the rosary ... while a dance a jig and then the dreaded wheel ... i smell the cedars burning, they'll be no new year (catherine wheel) .. she's got a revolver made of carbide and steel - and the chambers do a dance call the Catherine Wheel

Tap - this is outstanding!!! Thank you so much!!! I love what you did to that tune, just everything... the lyrics, voice, guitar, effects, video editing - fantastic. I found the original a bit too long & boring, but you turned it into a real song. Just ... WOW !!! *picks his jaw off the floor* ww :-)

Your far too kind, but thank you. And thank you for making the tune available. It's rare to get the opportunity to play along with someone of your talents - even virtually. pax, Tap

Faaaaaaaar from feeble, man. Complete opposite direction, actually. Man, it's like you & Pascal wrote this together. Well...you did...but you know what i mean. It was a collision of talent just waitin' to happen. This is exciting stuff, Tap.
