Nowhere Man - Beatles cover. Stripped back Three String Cigar Box Guitar Version!

I did this song for the The CBN Revolution Beatles Tribute Album, which is available here http://www.cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/the-cbn-revolution-beatles-tribute-album
No effects whatsoever, just vocals, Cigar Box Guitar, and a bit of Glockenspeil!
The video is re cycled from something I did ages ago to go with a song of my cousin's. I thought it might go with this....when I loaded it into my video editing software it turned out that it was exactly the same length as this song!

I think that the simplicity of this really suits your style.  Wonderful version of a great song and a lovely vid.

So this is just wonderful. Your vocal is so pure. I love the video but I am also a juggler, do you belong to the IJA? anyway, I am digging on the sweet song as recorded. It is too sweet and totally real, kind of feels like the first time I heard the Beatles when I was 9 years old. Ans that is saying something, great work.

Just gonna start calling you the multitalented Be. Maybe my favorite from the record the vocals are wonderful. I like the fact its clean and we can hear what you really sound like. Glad to see clown college is paying off.

Sweet vid be.  Still love the song and the juggling is great.  I learned from the book Juggling for the Complete Klutz when I was a kid and practiced in front of my bed so I didn't have to bend down when I dropped them.

Great version, Be!!!

This immediately takes me back to the movie Help and the good humored nature of what would soon become one of the Greatest bands of all time! Always impressed and inspired by your talents and devotion!

thanks Maddog. Juggling your schedule is probably more of an accomplishment than throwing balls up in the air and catching them! Glad you figured bandcamp out and are enjoying the music...the CD's are on their way : -)

Comment by Maddog on September 14, 2012 at 11:29am

Nice song and great vid B! Like John I never mastered the art of the juggle, I spend my days juggling my schedule though. Does that count? Probably not eh? Looking forward to the CD's your sending and I was able to figure out the download so I have been listening to your music at work. I have enjoyed it immensly, thanks!

thanks Shane and John.

   Re the juggling, I had a book I learned from. I remember a funny bit from it...when learning there's often a tendancy to end up walking forwards more and more. To stop this it told you to practice on th edge of a cliff!!

  Can't find the book now. This vid pretty much covers it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjWUVZ2E1Q4&noredirect=1 Do each bit for as long as it takes to get it right before moving onto the next stage.

  I think the only thing that separates people who can juggle from those who can't, is that to juggle you just have to be stupid enough to spend hours and hours, and hours, throwing balls in the air, dropping them, picking them up, throwing balls in the air, dropping them, picking them up, throwing balls in the air, dropping them, picking them up,..................etc etc!!

Bemuzic, Wonderfully done video!!  Your voice and the cbg are just perfectly matched!!

Enjoyed it ever so much!!!

Can you tell me how the heck you can juggle???  Never been able to master that talent!!!

Keep your great songs coming, we look forward to them!!!
