My entry into the latest “Masters Of Song Fu” contest is up on their site, ready and waiting expectantly for your vote. It’s a happy little ditty featuring uke, yobstick, synth (the old Crumar Performer string synth) and shaker. Comments on it so far include ‘dystopian joy‘, ‘sounds like toads playing tiny tin digeridoo‘...
