Last night my Cry Baby came.  I'm not talking about a person or even a real baby.  No, I'm referring to the incredible guitar effects (wah) pedal that Jimi Hendrix made famous in the '60s.  It alters the tone of a (guitar) signal to create a distinctive effect, intended to mimic the human voice... and it's just plain amazing.

So experimentation with adding a little "wah wah" to some of my songs has begun.  It's a lot of fun but kind of tricky, because you have to be coordinated enough to play your guitar and move the pedal up and down at the same time - kind of like a drum set.  I like this new challenge, though.  The effect of your efforts makes such a ridiculously fun noise it is incredibly gratifying to do.
