Music From Your Junk Drawer

No Starch Press

If you want to make music but are not much of a player, maybe you could focus on building your own instruments.

The book Junkyard Jam Bandshows how, including tips on how to turn toys from Slinkys to talking dolls into sound creators. 

Author David Erik Nelson joins us with details.
