Losing @ MindSay

I lost my beloved father this past weekend. Although my number was programmed into his phone, apparently, they didn't notice, so they didn't call me until last night. It was a very tough night, this being an event that will drastically change my life once his home is sold. I'm headed for Oakland today, to be with my sisters, to remember what a wonderful father he was, & how very much we'll miss him. I've been going up to cook his Thanksgiving & Christmas dinner for him for several years, & I can't possibly express how very devestated I am, & how hard I'm trying to be strong. I'll rent a car to get up there (hub will need his truck to get to work, & no he won't take time off) but then I'll use dads car to run errands etc. This will be a good time (when my sisters have gone) to talk to the DA about the cold case I just spoke of (which is now in google, that really surprised me), so I hope I can accomplish all that my father wanted, so since I'll be in Oakland, perhaps someone from the DA's office can come speak to me. I'll be online while I'm up there, so I'll keep everyone aware of what's happening. In the mean time, it's now time to be with my sisters & remember our father for the wonderful loving man he was. Pray for me, if you pray, that I can retain my strength during this sad sad time in my life. Blessed be, QuellyQ

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:

Froosound Recording Studio

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.
