Janet
Feder came to NPR with an infant guitar, the curiosity of a child and a
wild imagination. The guitar was just a couple of months old — hand
made for her by Los Angeles-based guitarist and teacher Miroslav Tadic.
It's a nylon-string baritone electric! Its player is diminutive — barely
taking up any space behind Bob Boilen's desk. Yet, if you look closely,
you'll see the products of her immense curiosity and imagination. A
small split ring (like the kind you put your keys on) holds a metal bead
in place on the top E string near the sound hole. An alligator clip
(some of us used to call 'em roach clips) bounces on a string to create a
sound like ... well use your imagination.
Set List:
- "Angles And Exits"
- "Heater"
- "I Hear Voices"
