reitze! I'm sorry to see no comment on your proposed user name, ell10 4chun.
And I can't use your real name, I'm sorry, it's to late, you're reitze to the world, so far.
Even if I was rhyming it was tse-tse.
Have You Seen the Sheen?
It's difficult to comment on this video, still feeling like I only caught half.
The guitar is front and center but your singing gets lost in the mix.
For some reason I was thinking Burt Bacharach on a lot of downs.
It's not a bad act, but Nirvana did that already.
It's interesting that a paraphrase of the recent news coverage is "the sheen".
Because so much of the real waste of oil products is going for that final, deep-dish shine,
the applications of which involve spray-painting with industrial chemicals,
I've been saying the next war will be fought over the shine.
I heard you went through a lengthy gnat infestation and look clear-coated yourself.
And, I don't care. I don't care about myself, you, this thread or forum, about being off-topic.
I have to type about the what they call "The Long Ships" at Port Colborne.
All those old sailboats... the moonlight through the rigging... rising and falling with the waves,
seeing some captains take chances with depth intervals... it's a wild, wild naval party.
If I can cut through even my own online driven dialogue, with my supposed inner comedian,
to offer you some real musical advice, would you recognize it as such, I'm not sure.
What am I looking at? Your videos, your posting here with photos and your TouTube presence.
That's gone beyond just playing and singing to being cinematic, if not videogenic.
And don't worry about your looks. If you ever see one of my videos you'd think I was hot.
Sometimes the hottest. I don't play me in the videos though, that's why I look so hot.
Have you noticed the disconnect between perceived reality and online input?
Did you have an idea, did you connect an image or memory, when you were reading "hottest"?
That's basing a personal assumption on a reference to an unstated reality, by an anonymous source.
That's part of my theorizing about creating a new online persona. If you don't want I'll do it.
And you can do that same thing for yourself musically, if my real advice is coming through.
When you sit to play and sing or when you're writing a song, try this. You haven't done this yet.
Start off by singing, just ooo-ing and aah-ing if nothing else, as part of the music,
no words.
That might give you a different perspective on the song or performance.
A lot of times the first advice I give someone is to stand up while they're trying to play.
But what can I say to someone who can, by turning a few knobs, come back from the cosmos,
getting into that familiar road raunch, hitting the strings and driving the bass,
and then pull into a service station to top up your tire pressure or charge the battery?
That last time you were seen there were rumors you made your own fries.
I had such a beautiful moonlight bike-hike the other night.
I left about two hours before sunset, at the end of a very hot and humid day, and got back at one.
It was so quiet I felt I had the world to myself. I took a lot of pictures but only kept one.
This might not look hot, but in real life it was interesting.
These fences looked almost lit up, seeing the sunset reflected on the new wood.
But I was using zooms to make the fences fill the screen and most were too hand-held.
Yeah... let's have a look.
I just lost a bunch of typing, probably more than what's here. Basically, I commented on your video.
I was saying you might want to learn some Hank Williams to learn 7th and augmented chords.
And I talked about learning Charlie Rich.
Have a great weekend!
