Busking With Tennis Racket Diddley Bow

I had meant to work something out to play on this and to take it busking during Wimbledon. I hadn't got round to working anything out, but decided to take it anyway....
It was tricky hitting the ball at the same time as starting and stopping the loop pedal!!

ah yeah Crazy Horses, well certainly crazy anyway! It's hard to play the note you mean to, as it has no markings and also as you move the note changes, so I decided to embrace that rather than trying to stop it?!

Sounds like a cross between 'Crazy Horses' and a theramin at the end. Didn't seem to bother the locals too much.  If it looks like rain, head for the Centre Court at Wimbledon - it's got to be better than Cliff Richard singing.

ha yes Richard, confusing them would be the only chance I'd have!

Beautiful setting and sunny day, you did Wimbledon proud! What court will you be playing on and who's your first opponent? Just plug your racket in and your opponent won't know what to do! Game set!

You got a racket going there Bemuzic. Nice bouncy tune.
