Shake It Up (Sunday morning acoustic version!)

http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

I usually play this on a one string resonator Diddley Bow, with lots of distortion, but that would be a bit full on for a Sunday morning! You can see a bit of it done that way on this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p_wxykQuAs
I like playing songs in different ways depending on how I'm feeling or where I am. It stops things from getting boring.
The suitcase pedal board is a new set up, for when I don't feel like carrying so much. I've also recently started taking a mic and stand rather than using the headset mic. I think the vocals are heard better from some comments I've had...
This was filmed at The Quayside in Cambridge, the first of three lovely spots where I played yesterday. I'll probably put a video on from the other spots sometime...
It was good to have my husband/roadie/cameraman/drink and food fetcher with me all day : -)

Comment by bemuzic on July 15, 2013 at 3:27am: thanks Vinnie and Keith...yeah sometimes I deliberately don't take the things I would normally use, so I have to do things differently : -)
