Two food songs!

First, an instrumental song about my favorite food!



And two, a song about baking bread! And love!






I wrote and recorded "Sourdough" on my acoustic guitbass.

Like they play in the Presidents of the United States of America and Morphine!


It's hard to play that fast.

sethifus, MisterSeth, and a cover...

Let's catch back up!

I wrote a new song!



I tried to write a round, but I wrote different words for each part. I don't know if that's still a round or if it's called something else. The tune is the same for each part... roughly.



Next!





It'd been way too long since I recorded a MisterSeth song.

This one is the way a child I used to teach would sing this song. She'd combine the two and I thought it was genius!

So... here it is.





Finally!






This is one of my FAVORITE Caspar Babypants songs!

I wanted to do a MisterSeth cover of it, closer to the original song, but it didn't work out.

So I made a sethifus version instead!

I'm sort of trying to channel Elvis here, kinda.



That's it!





Oh, and this picture makes me really, really happy and I don't know why.






Somebody posted it on facebook, and I've been smiling about it ever since. I don't know who made it or else I'd credit them.




He just looks so happy. And his smile kinda reminds me of a friend of mine from elementary school.

Twig!



Today I am Thankful for the Presidents of the United States of America!



The band....

From youtube:

My goodness do I love the Presidents of the United States of America and every musical thing Chris Ballew does!

This is one of my favorites. I mess up the words and play pretty novice-ly and the guitbass will not stay in tune at all, but I like my version quite a bit for all it's flaws.

I made a guitbass!

Many videos back (https://youtu.be/fg8skpCNRJE) I wrote about this guitar and how Guitar Center wouldn't buy it. I had to do something with it!

I started putting stickers on it and finally realized that I always wanted a guitbass ever since I found out about them!

I'll write more on pondercouch.com!

Here's some other Presidents and Chris Ballew songs I've covered:

Last Girl on Earth - https://youtu.be/c_lzAKNotoE

Boot Got Grounded - https://youtu.be/mzyH94Juz4Q

Munky River - https://youtu.be/lTWBPHB__eU

I hope you're having a good day.





New stuff just on the Ponder Couch:

Here's pictures of my guitbass!







I love this guitbass!

It won't stay in tune for anything, but I love it!

The strings vibrate to the point of uncontrollable distortion, but I love it!

I had to file down the bridge thing at the top of the neck so the strings would fit in it, but it was worth it!

I talked to the guy behind this site that is all about guitbasses and bassitars! He was very helpful and told me directly what gauge of guitar strings to buy to make an acoustic guitbass.

I thought I had more to say about this, but I can't think of it right now.

Oh well.

I love my guitbass!

I love Garth Brooks and Chris Ballew.







The title is true! So I recorded this cover:



In the song (originally by Garth Brooks) I mention "Chris Ballew" (of the Presidents of the United States of America and Caspar Babypants)(both of which have commented on or put my covers of their songs on their facebook page)(click their names to see the videos!)

I grew up listening to both Garth and Chris from elementary school on. Yay music!
