The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Tue May 10, 2022

tuesday and the topic mine was trombone but i did get the challenge to play the plastic fork it's just me and my trusty plastic fork so jeff winfield came in and said hey you got a plastic fork everybody's talking about spoons let's hear you play the plastic fork so i said okay i'll come up with something so you know my actual first instrument was trombone

And when you put your lips on the mouthpiece of a trombone, it's to make this kind of a certain sound.

It goes through the trombone and makes the trombone sound.

So I decided to take the plastic fork and between the tongs, I'm using that same talent, as I like to call it, for the plastic fork.

So let's try it.

I don't know if you could tell the melody there, but I was trying to do Baker Street by Jerry Rafferty.

So I don't know if that worked or not, but then I thought of another way I could take the tongs of the fork and do it as kind of a brushy kind of an instrument against the microphone.

So here's that.

So that's kind of a fork percussion solo.

I wish I wish it wasn't just me and my plastic.

Challenge defeated.

So take that, Jeff Winfield.

There you go.

The very first ever plastic fork solo.

Thank you.
