For the first Sunday Song of 2024, I decided to cover a classic 1980's tune on the 1-string diddley bow. Here's an electric rendition of The Buggles' iconic Video Killed the Radio Star to kick off the week.

So right the song! its a shame here in europe the radio stations are all fixt consept stations based on commercial exspoit and a thing they call the HITPARADE still playing Queen as there number one, and all the other old standards. Back to the Fundamentals Kale!

Catchy Little Tune Back in the Day, you do a fine job on it with 1 String ;-D

Thanks for checking it out Doug. It's one of those songs where you think to yourself... that'll never work on one string. And yet it does.

Wow! Your strumming arm got a serious workout on this one Kale! Fun Diddley bow rendition; I remember this song. Happy Sunday.
