Twelve New Moons

[awjoe]

Okay, I'm going to do a sort of Drewish thing, new songs in a Youtube launch party on Sunday, about 3 in the afternoon where you lot are, I think. I'd have given you more warning, but I didn't know until now. It's a celebration of a year of tuneage from me, a twelvemonth tour de force capped by a performance studded with good songs well-played and no end of cunning improvs. First time ever.

Make sure you post reminders, my old brain will forget, should be chilled by Sunday afternoon, I’ll listen in the garden, weather permitting, I can have my own little festival.

[Ben Asaro]

I think that's 10AM for me; unfortunately, I have a prior commitment, but I hope it goes well!!

Vexingly I have one thing in my diary on Sunday, which is at 3pm. I will of course listen on catch up...
The title alone has suckered me in.

Me too (Sunday afternoon activity), but do post a link so we can catch up later on.

If I'm not mistaken, I just set it to premiere at the appointed hour and enable comments. Then I post comments to myself. Afterward, it sits there like an ordinary Youtube track.

[Drew Stephenson]

Yep, that's how it works. But you still ought to share a link here anyway as you haven't yet...

[awjoe]

Ah, right - that small detail...

Gotcher popcorn ready?

Okay, it premiered okay, but a fan who tuned in couldn't comment because Youtube required them to 'create a channel' first. What's that about?

[Drew Stephenson]

Catching up now.

Not encountered that before. I think you need some kind of google account to comment though.

Enjoyed it a bit later….

Ditto. I was completely tied up with software stuff for most of the day

Nice one awjoe, well done for taking the bold leap into live streaming.

(Been out most of the day, but now chilling to Chop Wood with a drop of Glenlivet.)

It doesn't look like you can comment on YouTube unless you're signed in.

Bookmarked for later consumption

Sorry to miss it in real time, although had a productive afternoon in the studio myself today with Mitt on the end of a mic, so all ends well

Yes, I think you're right. You don't have to create a channel, you just have to sign in.

That's okay - I mostly wanted to see how premiering something on Youtube worked. I think I'm more or less on it now.

But it *has* been a year of these little concerts, which has amazed me. Take away my job and make me anxious, and the outcome is a songwriting binge that's lasted a year. Now I'm sort of back at work, and the songwriting's slowing way down. Soon you'll be shut of me.

This is just a question of priorities!

Realy?
So that's why I've only been able to come up with one new idea in the last couple of months

[awjoe]

I've come up with a better mix of this one. Should I pull it and then re-issue it? What a palaver, just for a very slightly better mix.

[Drew Stephenson]

Is anyone not on this forum going to notice?

[Martin Walker]

Finally got around to listening today and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. That Godin sounds really alive and I prefer your more advanced chordal changes compared with the uke.

You also sound far more relaxed than ever before.

Bravo!

Martin

I'd had more to drink, is all.

I love that Godin - it's the best guitar I've ever played. I've been playing it a lot, and so I've been waiting for the hands to come up with something they haven't done on guitar before - that's what usually happens when I play a lot. And that's what's happened. The next video will have the tunes that came out of that discovery.

[Drew Stephenson]

looking forward to that then.

[BJG145]

I'm very jealous of that Godin. Sounded lovely in the last broadcast.
