Shake It Up (Sunday morning acoustic version!)

http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

I usually play this on a one string resonator Diddley Bow, with lots of distortion, but that would be a bit full on for a Sunday morning! You can see a bit of it done that way on this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p_wxykQuAs
I like playing songs in different ways depending on how I'm feeling or where I am. It stops things from getting boring.
The suitcase pedal board is a new set up, for when I don't feel like carrying so much. I've also recently started taking a mic and stand rather than using the headset mic. I think the vocals are heard better from some comments I've had...
This was filmed at The Quayside in Cambridge, the first of three lovely spots where I played yesterday. I'll probably put a video on from the other spots sometime...
It was good to have my husband/roadie/cameraman/drink and food fetcher with me all day : -)

Stellar performance (as usual...). The Elmar pup sounds great. Looks like the little guy in the blue shorts really digs ya! Years from now, he may be doing the same...citing you as an influence.  Cheers!
