"Not Workin' Today!", a Loop in A

But today I decided to just have some fun in my little attic "studio"...
This week I actually went back to "work" on learning to play the harmonica; I've re-started on Jerry Portnoy's "Masterclass" instructional stuff and I get to sit at the Master's feet at his website, www.harpjunction.com.
But today I decided to just have some fun in my little attic "studio"... building a ukulele/harp chord loop on the Boss RC-2 Loop Station, then playing along.
I use an Eleuke Tenor uke, the Boss Loop Station, Danelectro's Chili Dog Octave & FAB Delay pedals, a Shaker Dynamic Harmonica Mic, a Legendary Pignose Amp, a VOX DA-5 amp & a Seydel 1847 harmonica.
I think the Boss Loop Station (or any Looper that’s easy to use) is the single best thing you might add to your music hardware. If you play ANY INSTRUMENT that can be mic’d or plugged in, you can create your own “backing tracks” and build them up into loops that make you FEEL like a musician...
In the case of the SMOMB, we may never actually BE musicians, but the Boss Loop Station helps us have fun and pretend... for a little while, anyway!
FWIW, this is "Not Workin' Today!"; a SMOMB fun blues loop in the key of A.
