| Scott Scarboro has
been creating music under the name Monkey Boy for the past nine or so years.
Monkey Boy mixes traditional jaw harps, slide guitar, dulcimer, stomp boxes,
fiddle and drums with an odd assortment of contraptions made from electronic
toys, coffee cans and other what-nots. He sometimes wears head dresses
and eats tomatoes in one bite. His songs are mostly childhood memories
or things he's read in the newspaper. Scarboro is often accompanied by
other musicians that pluck, pick, bow, beat, and tweak lovely sounds from
the home-spun instruments.
