TIGLJK, that was another great song by you! I don't know how you manage to write songs so readily, they just seem to flow from you.  You are very talented with song writing.   And it is October that you entered this song where anything goes smile

Thanks Grah, cracked ribs are worse than the broken bones in my arm.  But thankfully, ribs are on the mend.  I can now get in and out of bed without pain!

Wishing you a quick recovery Jan.

OH NO !!!

Hope your arm recovers quickly and you are not in much pain.
Glad you will be still checking in, always enjoy your feedback !

Jim

Thanks TIGLJK, thankfully no surgery required (which at one stage the Drs were talking about).  So halfway to recovery and cast taken off.  Then the hand technician (as they call them these days) to help with recovery.  I am missing playing but this too shall pass and I hopefully will be back with a vengence smile

and  one  from 10yrs  ago  for  Richard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkicwMwuCPo

The newer one was pretty good (had a good sound for what looks like a phone only video), but the pub looks pretty empty ...

For the older one, were you using backing tapes or a looper??

I was chatting with someone the other day and I'd forgotten I'd put this up a while ago from 1995: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVnirXS … ;index=108

neophytte, sound quality was of the era, but I totally got the vibe smile  Wish I had gotten into music when I was younger rather than in my more mature years lol, wonder where it would have led .......

To get things going, here are a couple of my songs some friends and I worked on:

Spider in a tree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf7lwfmfNFM

Today is the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SrtarwVX1c

Enjoy

I loved both of these neophytte.  You nailed them both.  The spider one we have heard b4 and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time, probably more.  In both, the visual ambience added to them.   What were you using on the second song to change the vocals?  What camera are you using to film as it scans around the room?  Very affective and adds to the total performance.

Thanks!! A while ago I traded my Zoom R24 recorder up to a Zoom L-12 recorder (you can see it on the desk in front of me in a few songs), which allows me to record tracks individually - so the guitar is on one track, the vocals on one track, the keyboards on one track - then I run it through Logic and tweak each track and balance everything out. It's a bit of a process, but something I enjoy playing around with ...

For the video, I've just got two iPhones on stands; when I've completed the audio as above, I drop that and the two iPhone videos into iMovie and use some Ken Burns effects and cross blur and things like that ... it's another thing that you get better at the more you use it. 

Cheers

Richard

Oh how I wish I lived closer to you neophytte, to learn about all this stuff from you.  I am such a novice with all this stuff.

Hope things improve for you.   So true, we can pick our friends but not our neighbors.  Your sure it isn`t your electric, acoustic guitar amplified going full blast making the neighbors curtains move, twitch big_smile

As for me I am out of action for a while, broke my arm last Thursday, so in a cast for 6 weeks.  So will have to sit back and enjoy listening to your performances and comment (type) with my non writing hand.

Cheers Piri the problem with mainstream radio is the gatekeepers who control what gets played and what doesn't. Programme directors and radio promoters have nowadays been corrupted by some unknown thing that stifles new and exciting and old and exciting taking away a chance to be heard. Those with the big money set trends and its not exciting or a good thing for music I think. Powerful corporations make it all bland to me.

Peatle, totally agree with you on that.  Thanks for sharing both, they were great.

neophytte, Tiny Dancer, nicely done, good performance by you, so well done.
The other song "Love will tear us apart", I hadn't heard of before, so I went and had a look at the original song as well.

Grah, enjoyed all 3 videos, thanks for sharing.  Looks like you and the lads were having a good time doing this number.  Good food, good wine (or in this case raki) and good company by the looks.  Well done, thoroughly enjoyed watching this one.  The drummer had great rhythm and the lead guitarist was good too.
