Really interesting ideas from a very fine player. I'm gonna try the egg shaker!

I love 'em. I have a dozen of them at home in a nice "egg" container that looks like it should be kept in the refrigerator. When my wife and I are playing, and have guests, we hand them out. These "percussion eggs" are suprisingly loud and provide a great rhythm for any song. I have been known to pick one, or two, up and have a ball.
I used to keep one in the car and play along with the radio while I was driving, but my wife quickly put a stop to that

Thanks, Andy...

For passing along this interesting idea. I'm going to try it too.

Amen to that! One of my first guitar instructors as kid would have me stand and play to "feel the groove and shake my butt!" as he put it.
