Some of them sounded right.<br /> The next day I went through the shelves picking out titles that felt right, then put them together with just a few words to join them together to make the song.<br /> Although it's mainly made up of book titles it seems to make some kind of sense to me...<br /> If you are a fan of Margaret Atwood, Haruki Murakami or Milan Kundera, you should be able to spot the titles : -) Improv on home made lap slide - first busking trip tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2015-07-17:2592684:Video:2354402 2015-07-17T11:39:19.239Z bemuzic https://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/bemuzic <a href="https://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/improv-on-home-made-lap-slide-first-busking-trip"><br /> <img alt="Thumbnail" height="180" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/330155308?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=180" width="240"></img><br /> </a> <br></br>I get very excited when I make a new instrument, or write a new song, and can't wait to try it out. I didn't let the fact that I don't really know what I'm doing when I play it put me off!

I forgot my tone bar, so played it with a slide that I use on my 3 string Cigar Box Guitar, which was too short to go across all the strings, and for a while I played it with a large key that a guy who was listening asked me to play it with.<br /> I'm in a beautiful spot in Ely, quiet (but quite a lot of footfall on market day), with a view of grass and trees leading to the Cathedral. There is also a convenient low wall to sit on which I needed to play this.<br /> Lots of people were interested in the instrument and stopped to chat. An American lady offered to buy it, but I wanted to keep playing it, so said no.<br /> Filmed on my phone, and as I forgot my Gorillapod it's just fixed to my trolley with one of those velcro guitar lead ties.
