You can hear the recorded version here https://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/track/lay-my-hat-down-2“Lay My Hat Down” A song about busking. Live looping with 3 string Cigar Box Guitar. (with a ranger sitting behind me, not long before she came and wrongly told us that we needed a license #dontshootthemessenger #theloneranger )I take a while setting up the loops, which may be interesting to some people and boring to others. It gets going at about 1min 50 secs.I was thinking I’d put this song on quite recently, then looked back and found it was over a yr ago?!!It’s from a few weeks ago, but I forgot about it. Couldn’t be bothered to do the lyrics, and I think/hope they’re clear enough. Here they are in case…If I’m feeling lonely,yeah if I’m feeling blue.If I’m feeling lonely,if I’m feeling blue,I pick up my guitar case,and this is what I doCHORUSI walk into townlay my hat down,sing some songs.Yeah I walk into townlay my hat down,sing some songs,and if the sun keeps shiningI’ll keep playing all day long.It’s all about the music,it’s what I love to do.Yeah, it’s all about the music,it’s what I love to do.Don’t even count my moneywhen the day is through.InstWell sometimes I meet up,meet up with a friend.Yeah sometimes I meet up,meet up with a friend.We play our songs through oncethen we play ‘em all again.CHORUS#busking #buskerlife #buskinglife #cigarboxguitar #3string #3stringuitar #livelooping #streetperformer #huntingdon #keepstreetslive #powerdirector20 #rolandac33 #zoomq2n #cbg #homemadeinstrument #lofi #lofimusic #singersongwriter #folkmusic #electroharmonix22500 #cambridgeshire #folkmusician #homemademusic #blues #bluesmusic #slideguitar #slideguitarblues #homemadesax

  • I love the way you do these videos. It always makes me feel like I'm there enjoying this first hand. They're always such a treat. You're creativity with the looper is always inspiring. Thanks for sharing your busks with us.

  • These busking videos are great Belinda! It’s always fun to watch you build the musical parts live with the looper. Very creative and well done.
