Sonny Probe plays Roger Miller's "I Catch Myself Crying."

Here's a Sonny Probe performance of a Roger Miller song from the upcoming Sonny Probe release "The Lost Live Album."

This album was literally lost. No really. I found it in the cellar in a trash bag on Saturday. I had never listened to it before. It was raining like hell and about 50 degrees so I listened to it in the shed and there were sparks coming off the CD player, but that was because it was shorting out from the rain. And so the whole thing sounded like crap, even the parts where I spent 10 minutes tuning the guitar and then just standing there not doing anything. So I re-recorded everything on it and changed all the songs and words and notes while keeping it in the spirit of the original, which I never heard.

No, but seriously, this is from January 2002 in Bethel, Maine from the Night Which Was So Horribly Horrific That People Went to the Hospital and Some Vomited Even Before the Performance. It was a tough crowd but perserverance is a word that begins with a letter, so like an octopus we must all assemble small hiding spots from coconut husks and sometimes eat sharks and lament amphora depletion.
