Hi Tomco! Very nice of you to share and take the time with me! I like your experiences and how it's more like the pleasure homones I didn't think of, the dopemine, seritonin I think some are called. Maybe I was feeling stressful and the release brought about a dopemine response and I lost track...

Hi Tomco! It's funny I didn't come back here and it seems for 10 days. In a way it was something subconscious, like I was going to be paid to play on 9-7-23 at a fairly popular coffeehouse and hosted by a successful musician who was very complimentary of my music in the past. He has a second...

Wow Tomco! You even came here too plus the likes and subscribe at YouTube, thanks! That's a real compliment as you really know public performance on a pro level playing around LA and a lot of areas! Your rendition of "California Dreamin'" I mean you have your own style, your own fingerprint! I...

Hi Chili! Very nice of you to take the time and thanks for your encouragement. I played at home all of my life then recently once I moved back to The Cities I played open mics and gradually over time I heard Nick Drake mentioned and counted six times now separate people mentioning him to me...

Hi Spantini! I know they say the 3 minute rule for song length and wise advice. I did that at first with my covers "Both Sides Now", and "Massachusetts" and my original "Johanna" although a bit over three, and with my 4 minute version of "Tambourine Rain". Like your friend, my numbers are very...

Hi Papanate! Thanks for taking the time to listen and your feedback! You mean the picture of a girl skating on a lake doesn't fit my song? It's not by Neil Young as it is my own original song. I decided to play the harmonica for variety in the song.

Hi Supercreep! Your post here is quite a few years old so maybe you won't see this. You sound like a very experienced musician who could really give good feedback. I'm a wannabe trying to see if my music is "worth it" to others besides myself and started a YouTube channel. I put one of my songs...

Wow! You are an orchestra! This is so expressive it carries a kind of inspiration to travel somewhere I've never been! You're some kind of genius. What song did that orchestra back you up on? I'd like to listen to that too and more as I see you are so prolific with your originals and covers...

PS I forgot to say... if you like it give a thumbs up and a subscribe too as then YouTube puts my music with my channel out to more people. Thanks!

Hi! You can be frank with me if you see any areas that would drive people away as my numbers are so low on YouTube. I thought too I should at least show this to others as the Zen saying is: "Birds don't sing in caves." so I better do something and so nice others have had the patience to listen...

As usual you come out of nowhere then everywhere, fly me to a place I didn't expect like some magic place in the sun where every man's dream can only come true! Thank you for another masterpiece! George is smiling down!

Hi Supercreep and All! I'm certainly not one to take my comments all that seriously as I am an unknown wannabe in the masses. I like too what gecko zzed said; "One of the confounding factors is that it is your brain and imagination that tells you what you are hearing, not your ears . . ...

Hi! Your writing is deeply emotional. It seems you want to keep it focused on you, but others will transport themselves into your experience and relate to it and you prefer to keep it that way which is great! On the other hand with a few minor changes you could a reminisce of a very special...

To me Grim Traveller poses a very grand question: "Are there any songs that contain subjects that you are so opposed to that you won't listen to that song?" that for me seems to address the importance of a song's lyrics over the musical composition of the song, so for me this question is about...

This for me depends on to what degree you want your lyrics to impact those in your genre of music. Is this a rock song, a mellow pop song, Blues? This in my amateur view is a song of unrequited love, that the singer is in despair without his true love, his life a “living death”. Songs can have a...
