DESCRIPTION:
Don't know what happened to this clip... it's been degraded, somehow, and the image goes all wonky. What a drag. Didn't used to be like that. Anyway, the audio is still intact...

Recorded at Polarity, Tokyo, on March 31, 2010. Here I'm playing a one string instrument (a diddley bow) which was given to me by the maker, Mr. Tim Can (great name, eh?). Tim made this from a tin which once contained marron glacé pastries from a confectionary in Kobe, Japan, so I call it the Marron Glacé Guitar. You can see a photograph of it here:

RIDING YOUR TRAIN

saw you coming down the line
engine humming and looking fine
indulge me in some speculation
that you'd help me reach my destination
cause baby i'm riding your train
i'm riding your train, i'm riding your train

are you running local are you running express
or just looking good in that little silk dress
i'll tell you something and i mean it for real
you sure know how to handle the driving wheel
so baby i'm riding your train
i'm riding your train, i'm riding your train

my best friend said to stay away from you
but my best friend doesn't have a gaht-dam clue
he can't see you for what you are
honey meet me tonight in the sleeping car
cause baby i'm riding your train
i'm riding your train, i'm riding your train

let's move on forward honey don't look back
nice and steady don't jump the track
i got my ticket i paid my fare
so just go ahead now and take me everywhere
cause baby i'm riding your train
i'm riding your train, i'm riding your train
