Playing On The Street - busking and live looping, with home made 3 String Cigar Box Guitar, and PVC pipe and kitchen funnel mini sax thing
I’ve been wanting to post a video of this song for a while, since adding in the PVC pipe sax, but it often gets people coming up to ask about the instruments or to buy a CD, so it’s been hard to get an uninterrupted take! So I thought I’d post this, even though there are many mistakes, as I think it at least captures the vibe of the song : -)
With the sax thing at the end, I use the octave pedal for the loop, and then switch it off to jam over it…
I’m playing outside Boots in Cambridge.

LYRICS:
Playing On The Street
I am playing on the street
Got the whole world at my feet
I am playing on the street
Love all the people that I meet
If you like the song I play
Give me a smile and make my day
Yeah if you like the song I play
Stop for a while, then be on your way
I am singing on the street
Got the whole world at my feet
Yeah I am singing on the street
Love all the people that I meet
I'll sing every song I know
I'll sing them high, I'll sing them low
Yeah I'll sing every song I know
Cos I don't really want to go
I am happy on the street
Got the whole world at my feet
Yeah I am happy on the street
Love all the people that I meet

Thanks Poorness, yeah the loop pedal is tricky to get started with then it's easy. Kind of like learning to drive a car! Yep, great to be back busking...making the most of it as the schools are just opening, so am expecting cases to start rising, and they are already pretty high :-/ I've been meaning to do a video on how I made the PVC sax...
Wow. That was some masterful looping. There's an art to the loop pedal and you've definitely got a knack for it. It's also good to see buskers being able to busk again (and the sidewalks aren't empty). I love that electric PVC sax. I'd like to see a video on how you made that unique instrument. So cool.
Thanks Rope Walker, yeah it's fun to just do some improvising in between songs, and during them! Keeps things fun :-)
There’s a lot of moving pieces! You’ve done really well making the looper work for you. And that pvc sax! Man that always sounds so good. You could just rock instrumentals and solo all day long.
Ha, thanks Jim, I'm flattered to be called a girl! I can only play these things that I made myself :-)
Thanks A.D. Yeah I have to be feeling energetic to busk in Cambridge as there's so much going on! Though not as much as pre pandemic when there were loads of huge groups of tourists from all over the world..
Thanks Doug. I wouldn't really call it practice as I enjoy it, but yeah a lot of playing about!
Year's of practice Pay of Be ! pleasant sound that sax thing ! hat of to ye ,that you keep your consentration whit all them people running by !
Another first class performance. The layered arrangements are impressive. I would imagine it takes quite a bit of practice to pull it of as smoothly as you do. Thanks for including the lyrics.
Thanks John, yes it has got that middle eastern feel hasn't it. Thanks for the smile :-)
