unknown laterna player | Kazapiko | (VA) Greek Rhapsody: Instrumental Music from Greece 1905-1956 | Dust-to-Digital | Instanbul, 1913. "Asia Minor" Greeks from Instanbul brought the laterna to popular music of the time in Greece. The laterna is a keyboardless piano, a handcranked thing w/ a rotating wood cylinder w/ nails in it. As it turns, the nails trigger the piano hammers. Like a music box. Cool. You should see the ornate one pictured in the liner notes. | |||

* | Chester Davis & Congregation / Compton Jones, Glen Faulkner, and James Davis / Furry Lewis | Glory, Glory Hallelujah | (VA) Sorrow Come Pass Me Around: A Survey of Black Religious Music | Dust-to-Digital | Reissue of 1975 LP. Trio of versions of this spiritual combined in one album track. The middle one was recorded 40 years ago today! It features a Clorox bottle, lard bucket & empty pot for percussion, plus a "diddley bow." A What??!? It's a piece of broom wire stretched between two staples on a wall with two snuff bottles under it for bridges. Mr. Faulkner plays it by beating on it w/ a nail and sliding a medicine bottle along the strings. It's thought to be an adaptation of an African children's instrument, and a source of bottleneck and knife guitar playing. | ||
