Discussion re Filmora moved to own thread Miscellaneous - Filmora video recording softwareThinking of getting Wondershare Filmora for this - anybody else have experience of this software?
Hi, Clivey. I'm in rural Alberta, Canada. Nice job. You put a lot of work into that song. I'm on Bandcamp as well but I'm a songwriter. My songs are rough demos recorded on Garageband. Here's a song I've been shopping around to aspiring and established country artists as well. I'm a member of Country Music Alberta (Country Music Alberta). I haven't had any luck thus far. Some country music types out here think they have to hook up with Nashville songwriters in order to write hits about pickup trucks, fishing holes, and partying. Oh well; to each his own. I'm more of a Johnny Cash/Merle Haggard kind of guy.Well. I have managed to get my "3" thing kinda done. It`s now a CP ie it`s a continous play single or you can listen to the segz separately. I will be adding more bumf to the actual release. perhaps more images or even a video and defo remixes replacements etc.
Spring is however about to arrive and I start to think about prepping for busking, also have new toys arriving so I don`t know." I am very addicted to this songbashing."
I have started to circulate the release to maximize listens so heres whats up at the moment. I will post the press coverage if any on my main song thread.

A friend of mine has a mobile card reader for his IT business, there seems to be quite a bit of expense involved, but the thing he is always on about is that the money takes three business days to clear. Aside from the inconvenience, he complains that someone is getting the interest on his money while it's in limbo.Just " prodding" this thread to see if any of the usual suspects or newer or returning members have anything to share in regards projects ongoing or even just pipedreams.
Me myself have been dividing my time between live set practice, saxes, guitars and vox, and continuing to write and record material towards next bandcamp release, and I have ideas towards next EP release probably mid to late summer.
It's difficult to anticipate that playing out in the streets could be lucrative this coming summer, what with less and less folks carrying cash, though I have seen one ambitious and optimistic bagpiper employing the use of one of these little white " card readers" you see in Pop Up stalls etc.
"Thoughts"?
Excellent. Look forward to listening on commute to job.After a year or so of playing with myself (!) I appear to joined/formed a new band. Sax, drums and bass - nice and simple. The idea is improvising - in any way we feel but generally quite free. After nearly 50 years of playing other people's music it's quite liberating.
I expect I'll get back to the usual covers stuff when circumstances allow but at the moment it's a socially distanced 3 piece in a studio.
Lockdown has forced me to have a big think about what I'm doing with these lumps of brass and I've been playing around doing stuff I've never got around to before. I've even started a Bandcamp page and populated it with some of my efforts. Stuff on Youtube too such as this latest piece of nonsense:

My attempts at other instruments are pitiful so it's all saxophone of one form or another. With the new band I'm sticking to soprano and baritone. The tenor and alto can wait for the covers bands starting again. Yesterday I actually started writing stuff!!!! Never done it before. Scary.
I'm trawling through your bandcamp output right now and am thoroughly enjoying it. This sort of folk/jazz with almost churchy inflections is really coming to 'speak to me' in recent yearsAfter a year or so of playing with myself (!) I appear to joined/formed a new band.

Writing stuff, eh? I 'knew' the feeling. But now that the song (see the link in an earlier reply to Clivey above) is on YouTube, iTunes, Soundclick, bandcamp, Spotify, et cetera and has had a teensy bit of airplay here in Alberta, I'm no longer self-conscious about writing either lyrics or melodies for others to hear. As mentioned as well in that post, I even had the gall to enter it in the Alberta Country Music Association's '2020 Songwriter of the Year' category.After a year or so of playing with myself (!)

Loved it, lyrically and musically!In the spirit of the thread.
I've decided to call my next EP release " boys and their toys" and to try and get it done for around the end of August, which may be overly ambitious if I decide to busk over the summer months. My logic is that if I post my intention there is more likelihood that I will be able to pull it off.
It's pretty well going to be a comment on the imposed redundency of the male in the 21st century which itself is well open to a challenge or three.
Anyway this demo of the 1st track , which is also posted elsewhere is perhaps a taster. Not too sure, as now of writing I only have a few rough ideas.
Here's hoping by posting this I get busy. Ha ha.
No disrespect intended ladies.
Excellent! Very listenable with lots of energy pumping through it!In the spirit of the thread.

Hey, Clivey, I went to your YT channel and gave a listen to a few of your tunes. I'm a fan of tell-it-like-it-is songs that poke into dark corners. Your tunes on bandcamp are polished recordings. Good work!Being doing a bit of everything. writing, playing, and put up warty unpolished live renditions of the "roaring 20'$" and "Scotch wine and beer" to my lonely YouTube channel.
They are modern comment folk numbers and contain language and points of views that may offend, and that's even before we consider the performances tee hee.
