Singin' about Boxstock 2012....Do It Yourself song...! (tune to "Woodstock" by Matthews Southern Comfort).

THE BOXSTOCK 2012 BLUES

I came upon a stranger,
He was ridin' on the Train.
I asked him "where are you goin'?"
This he told me...

I'm goin' down The Salutation,Manchester,
Think I'll join an open mike band.
I'll camp out in a B & B,
If I got enough money.

Well then, can I ride beside you?
I have come here to taste the grog,
and i just feel like a cog,
in a CBG revolution.

By the time I got to Boxstock
There was quite a busy throng.
Everywhere there were songs
and celebration.

CHORUS -
We are Cigar Box stars,
we are olden.
And we've got to get ourselves to the Band on the Wall!

Well, maybe it's September,
or maybe it's the Spam.
I just found out who I am,
life's for learning.

I dreamed I saw a builder,
Wave his three-string in the bar.
Turning junk into guitars,
to show on the 'Nation.

Well Babajack and Dave Acari,
really shook the place today.
Mike Snowden and Blackriver/Hudson,
they came a very, very long way.

I think i'll go again next year,
had a really groovy day!
If I can afford the train fare,
and I've got new songs to play...!

CHORUS -
We are Cigar Box stars,
we are olden.
And we've got to get ourselves to the Band on the Wall!
