The backing was a bit muffled but had a nice J J Cale like vibe to the song.
Nice work.

Hi Peter, yea that was recorded using his phone, so the quality got compromised, but for a phone, not bad. Thanks for all the love.

Hi, Donny.

Nice to see you in action!

Your video makes a strong case for having a wireless guitar. I was worried you might trip over that cable! crazy

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hey hey dcuny, well that is a two-fold problem, to avoid interference or connection problems I don't use WiFi or Bluetooth, so other than the headset, everything is hardwired. However, I cannot find a wireless guitar that has the 'send' from the guitar but the 'receive' to both stereo speakers. The second concern is like you say, because it is a braided cable it is very unflexible. I don't trip over it as much as it gets twisted so dang easy. But hey, hopefully you can tell I am having a blast in my old man years. Thanks for all the love.

Donny, not only are you having a ball in your "old man years" you are entertaining the rest of us. Plus you have the chops and vocals to pull it off.
It was great to see you in action.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Hey hey BabuMusic, thank you for all the love and sub, I just can't get a following for some reason. But hey, I love when other artists come and join in. I have a few I IV V's that I can change to any key for jamming. I am not a big fan of noodling, looping or cover songs. I treat busking like it was a paid gig, even though I am only a semi-pro, I still work like I am a pro. Original music only for me. Thanks again.

Not shabby at all man.
I agree with Peter, I get a JJ Cale vibe, I love Cale, expecially his collab with Clapton.

All you need is a drummer, bass player and a concert permit smile

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Thanks Laurent, yea the first time playing live I was really nervous, unusually so, but after I got my fingers and keys and such I settled in. After a year now, most everyone knows me as the local musician want to be. My longtime friend who was a professional way back in years reminded me that I am just a semi-professional, so that gave me room to make a few mistakes, I guess the pros don't make mistakes, LOL!
I truly love my job. I was more concerned that since I only play originals, the people don't know the music and it needs to sound good enough for them to overlook their need to hear covers. Albeit I still get the occasional, can you play Free Bird for me, I politely say no I don't play covers. Thanks again.
