Monkeys Fly

from Morning Glory by Mark Alan Dooley

/

about

The flying monkeys have an Eastern vibe.

The Sit-jo is an instrument Robert Tiernan put together from old banjo parts he found in a music store he worked at, and features a bridge from the drone strings of a Sitar. With only one playing string and two drones, it’s a pretty limited instrument, really just a novelty, but he thought it sounded cool and was very happy to use it on this song. It isn’t very stable in the tuning department because it uses friction tuners and the neck is kind of loose, but it held together pretty well for this, and he hopes you dig it…When does a banjo sound like a sitar? When Monkeys Fly!

Quote from guitarist Robert Tiernan:
“I want to thank Mark for offering this track to me as a collaboration. If you don’t know him, he is a wonderful musician and a very interesting person who has done and continues to do many great things and you should go look into his pages and listen to his music, you’ll be happy you did.~~~
