Harry Nilsson Fan Jam Collaboration!

Hey friends!

So if you don’t already know, I’m a big fan of Harry Nilsson’s music. I was originally just going to video myself playing “Good Old Desk”. Then I thought how much fun it would be to have my online friends play with me! So in the next few days I’ll be recording a rendition on Wurly for you to play to! All you have to do is grab your video camera and play along to my video on youtube as a reference point and record yourself playing in time. I’ll post the video  of me playing it here as soon as it’s ready.

Musicians I’m looking for: Electric or Standup Bass, Trumpet, Percussion (Drums/Tamborine/Triangle/Shakers or even you hand clappers!) Violins or Violas,  Backup singers (make sure you sing in tune!). Send me an email if you would like to participate and we will work out the details! I’ll pick the best musicians and edit the video together for one hell of an online live performance! Harry would be proud :)
