Busking On The Bridge, St Ives, Cambs, with 3 String Cohiba Cigar Box Guitar

Had always fancied playing in one of the little alcoves on the bridge in St Ives and finally got round to doing it yesterday. Not very busy, but a beautiful spot....
Here's some info on the bridge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Ives_Bridge

Black Crow is from the album Out From The Shadows.
Pebbles is from the album Pass It On, and Playing (No Rules) is from the album of the same name. All are available here: http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/
Filmed this on my phone (new one that does HD vid) Had it on a gorillapod, which I fixed to the neck of a guitar that was propped against the wall. Shortly after filming this, the wind blew it over. The back came off, battery flew out : -/ Luckily it still works...

Comment by Ron "Oily" Sprague on August 22, 2014 at 3:58pm: As I was going to St. Ives
I met a girl with seven jives
Each jive had three chords
Each chord had three notes
Each note had nice sustain
Sustain, notes, chords, jives:
How much change did Belinda score in St. Ives?
