HOME ALONE INSIDE MY HEAD - Self-Inflicted Field
Recordings by Sam Amidon
"My head is my only house, unless it rains"
-Captain Beefheart
A free album, a gift, a nice present from me to you,
that you can download.
This album is a collection
of field recordings of myself. It was recorded on my portable Radioshack
tape recorder in Yonkers, NY and Brattleboro, VT during the spring of
2003.
It is an album of improvisation, old-time music, field recordings, and
"outsider" music.
I'd love to hear your feedback- email me: samidonATgmail.com.
Sam Amidon: fiddle, banjo, harmonica, piano, singing, tape
recorder.

from the playing of Will Adam.

Otha (or Othar) Turner.
