Pete Drake and his incredible talking guitar



P. Drake. born 1932 in Nashville Tennessee.wiki

"You play the notes on the guitar and it goes through the amplifier. I have a driver system so that you disconnect the speakers and the sound goes through the driver into a plastic tube. You put the tube in the side of your mouth then form the words with your mouth as you play them. You don't actually say a word: The guitar is your vocal cords, and your mouth is the amplifier. It's amplified by a microphone."

apparently, P. Drake picked up where a fellow named Alvino Rey left off.
warning: following video is not to be viewed by those easily creeped the heck out.
But, I guess the last video was pretty creepy too.



Stevie Wonder bonus time:



cheers to JT for the good news.
