Lockdown Song #4 - on 3 string cigar box strummer

I realised after editing this that I hadn't changed the line in the last chorus from "got to try and find a way out of this lockdown, to "It was easier to get in than get out of this lockdown. Couldn't be bothered to start again...
I'm playing a 3 string strummer (with diatonic fretting like a dulcimer) made by Tiny Guitars (James Gilliam) It was tuned DAD with a capo on the 3rd fret to make it GDG. It's lovely to play the strummer now and again, as you can just play without thinking...

Really good lyrics and tune. Also like how you slow it down, for the last few words of the chorus. You are very talented. Enjoyed it.

oh that's weird. I thought it looked odd that it had a few comments and likes but only 2 views?! But still it's just about sharing the song, and the comments work, so all good : -) Thanks for the comment,and for trying to like it!

I logged out, deleted the cookies, logged back in, and it still won't let me like the video. CBN is plotting against me this morning. :-S

thanks John. No weeds left to pull, lol, but the supply of good music is endless! Today we'll go for a longish walk, have a good meal and listen to more of this, which is 8 hrs long!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9WJhWoB1s4&fbclid=IwAR0vKXSTGC...
There's also part 1! I thought people doing music from their home would be a poor imitation of seeing them live, and it is in some ways, but you also get something extra by seeing into someone's home and them telling you a bit about their situation. I especially liked the guy doing his gardening while singing, then sitting in his wheelbarrow...also the women, one of who had a baby in a sling through it all...

I just heard and liked this on FB. I like it even better on the second listen. Hang in there. Get outside, pull those weeds, make music.
