Is Anybody There? - Unplugged New Song Demo on Diddley Bow - LIVE from the kitchen!!!

A quick demo...this song is very new and so things may change, but here it is for now : -)
The Diddley Bow likes to be loud, so TURN IT UP!!

Lyrics:

Is Anybody There?

Feels like I always sing the verse,
but I want to sing the chorus.

Don't know which mirror tells the truth,
so I look into them all.

Why do we iron out the creases?
I'm not playing any more.

The lights are shining in my eyes.
Is anybody there??

I think my favorite vid of yours is still the one where you made a Diddley bow on a large tree down by the river, using found bits and a battery powered amp. Excellent!

thanks Hal....yeah, I play it different ways depending on what mood I'm in...slow, fast, clean, dirty. Keeps it fun : -)

Great work, Belinda. Slow it down a couple beats and throw a little dirt on it, and you'll have another rockin' hit. I always enjoy hearing you play and sing.

no Jose this one came from eBay. It was a surprise random present from my husband..better than a bunch of flowers I reckon!! I've changed a few things on it, but yeah the sound is good : -)

  I'm about to start building a Diddley Bow with a hand wound pick up from Bob Harrisson..
