An Ambient Lap Steel composed by me played on a Guitar made from the Gearbox of a Matchless Motorcycle. This is the background I came from
Poverty in the extreme.

Thank you James! In the video, is that your amp on the table, made from an old radio?

It is indeed my old "Hacker" transistor Radio with all the input sockets at the back, I like to experiment. James.

Thank you Sir, I am trying to rebuild my y/t channel after a hacker stole it, you are welcome to follow along, I compose a lot of my own stuff rather than just copy what someone else has done.. James Kerr.

Even without the accompanying video, this is very cinematic music! I could see it being used for a movie about some dystopian future.

The lap steel is wonderfully bizarre. Seems like the spark plugs would jab into one's belly, though, if you set it on your lap.

Thank you Joseph for taking time to listen and watch. Music and Photography are about all I have left in life, my channel has been going since 2008, recently it was hacked and stolen, the only option left for me was to delete, which I did. I am gradually building up again and I love to compose, rather than copy what another has recorded, stick with me if you can. James Kerr.
