Turkey Fingers
The band Turkey Fingers exist only my mind and in the digital realm, but I thought I should credit the performers and the recordings.
Turkey Fingers “Wave a white ribbon…Why Should the boys hands freeze? I felt hungry…”
A.Y. Garnisova : vocals
A.I Kazakov : vocals
A. Gurdeyova : vocals
Joe “fingers” Carr : piano
W. “pee-wee” Gerhardt Hunt III : trombone
The three vocalists are from the album pictured “Folk Music of the Finno-Ugrik and Turkik peoples”. The three vocals used are from Singers in the Tartar Region of southern russia in either ‘68 or ‘70. The first two verses (and first two vocalists listed, respectively) are uncut and at the 3rd has two cuts only. All three are at the proper pitch and speed. I added the harmony vocal on the last verse by pitching my self up 4 steps, i have no idea what i am saying and the only listed lyrics for the tatar singers are the title in quotations at the top, in order.
The music is made from two loops from the record “Pee-Wee and Fingers” by Joe “fingers” Carr and W. “pee-wee” Gerhardt Hunt III slowed down quite a bit. The bass is made from a sample of the piano and the back beat is made from me hitting a Glenfiddich scotch can that has contact mic’s on it and then run through an amp.
I wish i could finagle a few more tracks out of this band but I think i just got lucky the once.

If anyone has any ideas what to call this, let me know, for now it’s untitled…..
