This one is a Valentine’s Day present for my childhood sweetheart, Robin Lynn.
Of course, I’ve been doing this song for over 10 years but in this context it has significantly more meaning. I wish I could’ve played it better (I’m a little rusty) and done more for the video, like adding pictures from that time in our lives and such, but sadly, I have none.
I hope you enjoy it but I hope even more so, that she does.
*Happy Valentine’s Day!!!*
OK, so I’m a little behind on the whole youtube craze but guess who uploaded his first video. I don’t really have any subject matter for my videos other than myself or maybe my son if you’re into watching a 3 year old act goofy on cam but I went with the former and decided to throw up a video of me covering 8stops7’s “Question Everything” on my acoustic geetar….just trying to get the feel of my cam, lighting, Sony Vegas software, quality vs. compression and file sizes…Also didn’t use my external mic so what you hear is the audio recorded by the cam (cleaned up a little)…still blah and I can do much better.
As you may or may not have noticed, I actually have been doing some work on the site…a lot of it is in the coding which you won’t see but it was work none the less.
The new additions to the site which you may have guessed from the post title is music…Lately I’ve had more desire to get in touch with my roots and start playing guitar, singing and recording than anything web design related….and it shows by 8 new songs on My Music Page. Some of the songs I’ve been playing for years, some I just learned recently….I’d like to think that the quality of my recording is getting better with each song and some listeners seem to agree….but there’s always room for improvement.
Anyway, the new editions are:
Far Away - Originally recorded by Nickelback
Rockstar - Originally recorded by Nickelback
Someday - Originally recorded by Nickelback
When You Say Nothing At All - Originally recorded by Alison Krauss/ Randy Travis/et al
When There’s No One Around - Originally recorded by Garth Brooks
3AM - Originally recorded by Matchbox20
Question Everything - Originally recorded by 8Stops7
Anymore - Originally recorded by Travis Tritt
The songs that were there previously have been cleaned up a bit too since someone pointed out that the quality of my earlier recordings sucked ass….I was totally surprised at the improvement made with “Audio Cleaning Lab 10 Deluxe”…Definitely recommended if you’re ripping cassette or vinyl to mp3.
You might notice too, the music has a bit more low end punch to it….That would be because I bought a bass guitar, finally! I can’t believe I waited this long….So far I’m pretty happy with the purchase….Peavey Millennium BXP 5 String
I plan to continue covering songs until I get bored with it or hopefully come up with some original material….I’ve had the desire to start writing again lately but not instrumentals….Lyrics have always been tough for me so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to come up with anything worth listening to.
