Cigar Box Guitar Porch Picking Roan Mountain, TN

Hey all, it's been a while since I posted. You guys were very encouraging when I when I first posted the blues lick I'm using here when I was first working on it. I promised to try to build it out some more, and it's become a go-to for me when I'm noodling around. I've had some fun looping it and trying to improvise over top. I need to work on my timing and my guitar face (I look bored and/or angry when I'm concentrating! }:^0 ). I also didn't think about rounding out the end with the looper. Maybe one of these days I'll bore you guys with guys with yet another rendition of this same jam but a bit more polished. I recorded this one on my phone while I was on vacation this summer.

This guitar is a favorite of mine. It's my first short scale build - 23". I used a zero fret & hard tail bridge. The action is great, and it's very smooth to play. I recently sold it, and now I need to build another player for myself to keep. That's a good 'problem' to have I suppose. :)

I hope everyone is doing well. Out of the blue I got struck with pancreatitis. I've been seriously ill for the last month, and I'm finally starting to feel myself again. It's a relief! I'm still moving slow, but things are getting better. Keep on keepin' on.

Forever and a Day

Went busking for the first time last week. Got no film or photos as I was on my own.
This time my husband came along as roady/cameraman/minder!!
I'm really enjoying the whole busking thing. You get to do two of my favourite things at the same time - people watching and playing music : -)
On reflection when the bagpipe player started up just along the street I should have given in gracefully and moved somewhere else!!
I was wanting to sing "Sheep Shit Blues" - see this vid if you have somehow missed Sheep Shit Blues!!

but thought the people of Cambridge might not be able to relate to it?!...SO I wrote a couple of songs with the same format "Cambridge Blues" and "Busker Blues" You can hear bits of them in the vid : -)
I took along some copies of my EP, as a few people asked last time if I had a CD, and I sold one! Download of the EP available here!!

Thanks to those of you who gave me advice and encouragement when I said I was thinking of doing this (even though some of it nearly put me off going,lol!)
