“Lay My Hat Down” A song about busking. Live looping with 3 string Cigar Box Guitar. (with a ranger sitting behind me, not long before she came and wrongly told us that we needed a license #dontshootthemessenger #theloneranger )

I take a while setting up the loops, which may be interesting to some people and boring to others. It gets going at about 1min 50 secs.
I was thinking I’d put this song on quite recently, then looked back and found it was over a yr ago?!!
It’s from a few weeks ago, but I forgot about it. Couldn’t be bothered to do the lyrics, and I think/hope they’re clear enough. Here they are in case…

If I’m feeling lonely,
yeah if I’m feeling blue.
If I’m feeling lonely,
if I’m feeling blue,
I pick up my guitar case,
and this is what I do
CHORUS
I walk into town
lay my hat down,
sing some songs.
Yeah I walk into town
lay my hat down,
sing some songs,
and if the sun keeps shining
I’ll keep playing all day long.
It’s all about the music,
it’s what I love to do.
Yeah, it’s all about the music,
it’s what I love to do.
Don’t even count my money
when the day is through.
Inst
Well sometimes I meet up,
meet up with a friend.
Yeah sometimes I meet up,
meet up with a friend.
We play our songs through once
then we play ‘em all again.
CHORUS
