| I don't have the very first song I recorded, it was "Louie, Louie" on a boombox, but I've got just about everything following that. Yep, I was 14 years old as well. Started out with bongos and pot lids for drums and cymbals, an acoustic guitar, and a toy lute, then moved on to a toy drum set, a Hondo bass and a Sears guitar. Overdubbing technology didn't occur to us until a few years later.
We didn't really know how to play, but luckily our introverted lead singer churned out the most filthy and violent lyrics regularly to keep listeners interested. One tape we made on a boombox in the attic ended up getting pressed as a 7" single by a label. This was before we knew any chords or had discovered distorted guitar, none the less, the flip side was all instrumental.
I'll have to find somewhere to post some MP3 snippets...
