Unknown Legend - my Neil Young Cover

This is a direct youtube linked video for higher resolution viewing and to benefit iPad/tablet users.
This song was played on one of my homemade dog bowl 3 string guitars. I played this song using only two cords (C & F), because they are closer to my vocal range (Neil played it in G & D). I also used a cheap recycled $20 keyboard from the local rescue mission to do the background accompaniment & drum rhythms - and lined up the 3 recorded tracks in Audacity to merge them down into a single stereo .mp3 file, which I added to this motorcycle themed photo slide show video.
Low tech and simple techniques still prevail in crafting these musical arrangements! :-)

Forget- Me-Not - Demo, on 2 String First Aid Kit Guitar

2018-02-28T12:05:45.624Z

I wrote this song soon after reading Wendy Mitchell's book, Somebody I Used To Know.
The book is available here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wendy-Mitchell/e/B078XJ3WLS/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1
I think it's the only book about dementia written by somebody living with it.
I had nursed many people with dementia when I worked as a psychiatric nurse years ago, but of course I was only seeing the end stages. This book gives an incredible insight into the early stages.
I was stunned by Wendy's bravery and resourcefulness! Having left her job, she spends her time travelling all over the country, raising awareness about dementia.
She is also writing a blog "Which Me am I Today?" which you can follow here https://whichmeamitoday.wordpress.com/
The Forget-Me-Not symbol is the logo for the Altzheimer's Society and is often used an emblem by dementia communities.

I'm playing a home made 2 string guitar. The first aid kit tin is quite old (The price label of 13 shillings and sixpence is still on it, which seems quite pricey now I think about it!) My parents used it when we were children...
I'm using an Electroharmonix22500 for the looping.
