Playing On The Street - Live looping, w homemade 3 String Cigar Box Guitar & PVC pipe mini sax thing

Playing On The Street - busking and live looping, with home made 3 String Cigar Box Guitar, and PVC pipe and kitchen funnel mini sax thing

I’ve been wanting to post a video of this song for a while, since adding in the PVC pipe sax, but it often gets people coming up to ask about the instruments or to buy a CD, so it’s been hard to get an uninterrupted take! So I thought I’d post this, even though there are many mistakes, as I think it at least captures the vibe of the song : -)
With the sax thing at the end, I use the octave pedal for the loop, and then switch it off to jam over it…
I’m playing outside Boots in Cambridge.

LYRICS:

Playing On The Street

I am playing on the street
Got the whole world at my feet
I am playing on the street
Love all the people that I meet

If you like the song I play
Give me a smile and make my day
Yeah if you like the song I play
Stop for a while, then be on your way

I am singing on the street
Got the whole world at my feet
Yeah I am singing on the street
Love all the people that I meet

I'll sing every song I know
I'll sing them high, I'll sing them low
Yeah I'll sing every song I know
Cos I don't really want to go

I am happy on the street
Got the whole world at my feet
Yeah I am happy on the street
Love all the people that I meet

I like that guitar tone coming in at 38 seconds.  It sounds kind of middle eastern.   Good song and lyrics.  Fun.  I gave you a smile!
