two favorite vinyl records in my small small collection</b><br>(you need <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx">windows media player</a> to listen to samples)<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/iamthedigitalme/one-string-blues.jpg"><br /><br /><b>eddie jones and edward hazelton - one string blues</b><br /><br />ok, this record isn't really mine. it belongs to my parents. apparently they have owned it since before i was born, though i never once recall them ever playing it(or much of any of their records, really). so, i took it off their hands and gave it a new light.<br /><br />the amazing thing about this album is one of the instruments used, the "one string guitar", built by eddie jones, a wandering <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo">hobo</a>. as i recall, it consists of a 2x4 with one string tied down with a nail. a small metal bucket slides up and down the string to change pitch.<br /><br

was walkin' down lincoln road during one of their sunday antique sale events and stumbled upon this wonderful old photo album from the sixties. i bought it for ten beans. the fellow wouldn't bargin. not even a notch. anyway, the book was full of great photos. i gave a lot of them away one day at a punk rock yard sale. i just had to share. there was so many to go around. i, of course, still kept the best ones. a lot of pictures of this guy:<br /><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/iamthedigitalme/chillaxin.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;"

while chillaxin' in the pool. my kind of slacker.<br /><br /><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/iamthedigitalme/chillaxin2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;"
