I setup my old Sony HD video camera, which promptly ran out of battery about 5 songs into the set. From that footage, I decided I would publish these two songs. Enjoy! Oh.. and consider subscribing to my YouTube channel. Thanks. Lonely Mile Man © 2010 I wrote the chorus back in 2008 driving back […]
I wrote a couple new songs last week. The first I’ll classify as rock & roll. It is titled, “Tumbleweed Into the Fire.” I’ll post a basic recording of that soon. The other song came even more quickly. It has much more of a folk feel. I plan to record it more sparsely but did […]
Recently I began taking pictures. My 2nd child had been given a Canon EOS T3i but wasn’t using it. My girlfriend was always taking me out to take pictures and wanted me to know more about it. I cleaned it the Canon, went through some YouTube videos on the camera’s features and a bit about […]
I don’t use Photoshop or Illustrator. But, as a DIY songwriter/performer, I still need to be able to create merchandise. And in order to create merchandise, you need transparent images. What is a transparent image? It is an image that contains a later without any pixels – only information allowing whatever is behind the image […]
Last week I gave a workshop at the Camarillo Library. You can watch the video below. Plus, I’ve provided links to a more complete blog entry on my consulting website if you are interested in downloading the slides. I hope you can tell that I really enjoy presenting. 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL4UktGyCPw Click on the image below […]
Recording with Reaper for Songwriters I’m back at Songsalive! Orange County for another workshop. Rather than technology tools or social media and promotional strategies, I’m going to cover how to record yourself using Reaper – the popular DAW from Cockos. My goal toward the end of last year was to work on the professionalism on […]
We could also title this: The journey from America’s Mayor to spittle-dripping, frothy-mouthed, ignorant conspiracy-theory uttering village idiot. Or, perhaps just a planned liar. Giuliani’s Tweet Back on Nov 30th, Rudy Giuliani tweeted (an untruthful one at that) about the Mueller investigation and Trump leaving for the G-20 summit. Inadvertently, he did not include a […]
I’m Confident That’s what people tell me anyway. I’ve got them all fooled! 😉 The truth is, I am confident in certain, very noticeable, areas – performing live (at times), speaking in public, running meetings, meeting with clients, and writing & publishing content. I’m often far less confident in others. Because my confidence is in […]
This is like the frequent, semi-committed, YouTuber who starts every video with, “It’s been awhile since I posted, let me catch you up…” Although, truth is, I haven’t been on hiatus or gone… I’ve been right here. Well, sometimes I’ve been over there. But, rest-assured, I’ve been somewhere and plan to be somewhere for as […]
How a cowgirl and broken-hearted crush wrote a song She’s thinkin’, as he’s leavin’ “Ain’t it somethin’ this relief I’m feeling” There ain’t no broken heart in sight So she saddles up for a midnight ride Hoof-beats match her heart beat stride for stride Her life gets a little clearer tonight Back in 2007/2008 I […]
