To record...

I just did a quick check against my setlist and what I have recorded on Youtube. I noticed there is a number of songs that I can already play, I just haven't recorded, either new or I just never got around to it:

Band On The Run
Hotel California
House of the Rising Sun
If You Leave Me Now
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Logical Song
Rain
Why Can't This Be Love
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
White Room
You're So Vain

And there are some songs I have done work on but need more work to get to recording level:

Bad Moon Rising

Blackbird
Eagle Rock
Feels Like We Only Go Backwards
Fly Like An Eagle

Knocking on Heaven's Door
Pumped Up Kicks
Sweet Child of Mine

Tears in Heaven
Toccata (Sky Version)

What a slacker I am!   I've currently got 81 videos (65 actual songs) I should aim for 100! (This is a note/record to self to get crackin' :-))

What's happening April 2020

The Virus has hurt the local music industry - anyone who was playing gigs can't, music lessons, stopped - it's not good. Aside from the loss in income, musicians need to play to audiences, it's what they do! I noticed a Perth local musician, Courtney Murphy, set up a live stream. The first once had techical issues but the wife and I tuned in for the second attempt. Somehow they had grabbed the reveley room at Perth Arena, their setup was nice, just Courntey and his drummer mate Chris. Courntey is the proverbial "paino man", will play piano and sing pretty much whatever you ask him to play.

I'm doing okay during The Vrius, so I threw him a $20 into his paypal and requested "INXS Never Tear Us Apart" which I figured he's be able to play.  Which he did, very nicely. (By the way Chris - you gotta sign harmonies man! ;-)) Skip to time stamp 1:19:00 for my mention:


Meanwhile, I heard another one of my youtube mates play "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and that was enough to make me finally have a crack.  I've spent a few hours with it so far, and have written it out in musescore, it needs a few last things added.  It's based on a few other arrangements, what I hear in my head, and around my usual style.
