This is the 3rd of my old original songs choices. This is a song called "Winner". The lyrics can be interpreted in many different ways, but I wrote it for mistaken friends who need support.
This song was also co-written with Mick Paul. I finish off with details about what mick is up to now in his music career.
If you watched the last vid I posted, you will have learned that Mick played bass on a David Hasselhoff single. I don't think there's many individuals who don't know who the Hoff is. After being in such shows as "Knight rider", "Baywatch" and "America's got talent".
Here is "Winner":
Mick is quite busy doing the touring thing at the moment, with an outfit named "The David Cross band". David Cross used to be in a band called "King Crimson". They were very well known. If you come from Italy, There's a good chance that you've heard of David Cross. He's quite popular there, and hence the reason why Mick does most of his touring there.
Now here's the regular Youtube numbers update.
My subscribers have seen a really good jump in the last few days. Racing past the 700 barrier to 717.
Channel viewings cruised to 16,017. That's the 16k barrier broken.
Last but by no means least. The total video views. They are 246,003. I hoped that they might possibly get to the quarter of a million by the 17th July. Which is the 1st year anniversary of my the first vid I uploaded on Youtube. At this rate, it looks like it's going to get there on the 15th!!
I'm probably going to do a few coldplay covers in my next few videos, and I'm hoping to bring some more news about my forthcoming album release.
I've created a mailing list for album news. I will only be using the email addresses for that purpose. It's so I can inform interested parties about events regarding the album, before I post the info anywhere else.
If anyone is interested in signing up for it then you can do just that if you go to the homepage on my website. Here's the URL:
It's the 2nd of 3 songs written by Mick Paul and I a while back, that I have selected to upload. Ths one shows off Mick's Bass skills a bit. I just wanted acoustic guitar and Bass in this, and I think it worked quite well. The vocals are a little off key in places. This song, and most of the others were only written hours before they were recorded, so I'm not that surprised at the mistakes in the mix.
The song is about a contreversial subject, though I'm not going let you know what it means here. You'll have to watch the vid to find out. I reveal the meaning near the end of the video. It gives a completely new angle on the words.
Returning to Mick. Here is some information on the history so far of this very talented guy:
Played on 2 singles in 1970.
He joined "The Hotshots" in 1973. They got to number 4 in the british chart with one of their releases.
Joined "Union express" in 1974 and toured around Europe for 2 years.
From 1978, he did some session work for the B.B.C. and for a various number of publishers.
He was also an in-house bass player at Abbeydale studios in West London.
Co-wrote the Labour Party campaign song in 1987.
Joined "More tea vicar in 1990.
He wrote and performed on a single called "Aquarius" for Yello records, produced by Tyrrell.
He played bass on the "David Hasselhoff" single "If we could only say goodbye" (Yes. It's The Hoff).
and there is more..
I'll give a web link to his recording studio in West Worthing, southern England:
This is the guy doing all the music in this song. The previous song, and the next song.
The title of this song is "Losing my mind". I hope you like it, and the Bass playing :)
Now for the Youtube stuff.
A rise in my subs to 692.
The Channel views are 15,540.
The overall vid views are 237,970. Still on target to hit a quarter of a million by the 17th of July. climbing at about a thousand views a day.
Coming next is the third of the old original songs, featuring Mick Paul.
I'm still beavering away on my album. Yesterday I woke up singing a song. Weird I know, but it was pretty good. I'm going to put the track together to see what it sounds like in real life, and if it's good enough, it can go on the album.
David Hasselhoff and his wife are in the middle of a divorce and reports have come to light that The Hoff is physically violent and that Mrs. Hoff wants a restraining order taken against him. Now I'm just shocked! I find it hard to believe that a cool dude like The Hoff would be violent towards a woman, especially not the woamn he loves. Hell, I find it hard to believe that the person responsible for something like this could raise his hand in anger at anyone.
Yet again, I'm working on PowerPoint slides -- for my next training presentation I'm giving to all of the new hires in the department! I couldn't be happier; this is what I really enjoy doing.
Is it bad that, for all of the different usernames for all of the proprietary systems, that I'm using "David Hasselhoff" as the prime example name?
Speaking of David Hasselhoff -- make sure to listen to WTF radio tonight! And don't forget to answer "Questions of the Week..."
