A shoutout for my new Zoom Q2n

Now everyone can see that there's no smoke or mirrors doing what I do (with that many mistakes who would bother?).
The Q2n is light years ahead of my old Q3HD, and cost about half. Decent video, glorious audio, and lots of fun. So, here's Jake, Lefty, and Buddy playing Lee Morgan's "Ceora".



Jake

Jake, very cool that you do this. Next time I get to Rockaway, NJ we need to hang.

Can't Stop! The Beatbuddy has become inspirational as far as finding new ways to breathe life into old standby tunes.
A little shuffle, if you please:



Jake

yeah, great!

That other "Ceora" video should have been called "Clambake"......I fired the bass player and hired a new one.
Here's a much better version:

Hello, just would like to get a feedback about this musical joke...

My first "share"... a simple video I made a few months back. Simple performance... nothing quite as spectacular as some of you guys... required the vocal talent of my wife and her friend...

Nice! I'm playing that on Sunday with the worship band I'm in at church.

Beautiful, sincere, and "spectacular" in it's own way. Thanks for sharing!

I remember seeing a video you posted when I first joined, and thinking, "Crap, I'm never posting anything there, this guy is leagues ahead of anything I can do."

Love what you've come up with. Good stuff.

Thank you for the compliment, but "leagues ahead" is hardly the way I would describe me. I'm passionate beyond belief about playing and try my best, but I'm in awe at folks who post here and create art in ways I can't even begin to imagine. We're all here to share our craft and enjoy each other's creations.

Which is as it should be. This place is great.

So after (by my figuring) about 13 years of playing music, I've finally written some lyrics that I'm happy enough with to share with the world. Song features Rhodes, myself on a couple guitar tracks, and my recovering from a cold self singing. Its far from perfect, but I'm really happy with it nonetheless.

No youtube video unfortunately, just Facebook. A wedding showcase we played a couple of weeks ago. 6 years playing with these guys (or a similar line up), will miss it! Hot stuff.

Nice cover. The worship team that I am in at my church likes to play this one every few months. What mics are you and your wife using? I need to upgrade from my SM-57 that I have been using for vocals, although I usually use it as an instrument mic.

Good job!

You guys are amazing.
I'm a 100% amateur and write and sing my own songs.
heres an original sign I wrote after my 25 year marriage ended.
Write this originally on piano but played around on the OB-6 for a different feel.

Just some noodling/shedding on a new original one of my friends wrote:

I saw Kevin McKendree play with Delbert McClinton last week, so some of his influence snuck into this!

Some real tasty licks here.

Thanks! Really appreciate it!

I use a Shure SM7B when I play/sing in my studio, and recently started using a KSM8 for live vocals. For vocals in the studio (no playing keys), like in the video with my wife, I use a Shure KSM44 or a Rode NT1, depending on the vocal sound I'm trying to get.

I posted this Boogie-Woogie Video over on the "Shameless Plugs" section of this site. Didn't know this thread was here.

Anyhow, here it is, done at a bar with a band I was in a few years ago:

Thanks very much for the kind words!

Synth fiddling, most of it ITB... Used synths in subtitles...

I search of some love, or may be just because i was tired to have all of my work in a closet, i put a number of my musical works done since the 70s to today on a single personal site, with most of the stuff on youtube.

The site is http://www.barbogio.org/.

All comments are welcome !!

Our new video. Cost us a lot but it's a throwback to the old Rock Steady and Ska days:

Very well produced - shows off lots of fun.

Great job Outkaster! This is worthy of any playlist and/or video rotation.

Thanks really the singer and the guitarist really write the songs I kind of produce them with my experience in Reggae. It's not my favorite song we do but the crowd likes it.

Solid Brass live footage at Johnnie Brown's Delary Beach FL Friday Night 04/28/17.

I featured the rhythm section because 2 of the horn players were wearing shorts. Jason was playing keys, that's a Hammond SK1 on the bottom and a Yamaha on the top. Jason arranged the Live and Let die song for the band. Next gig is Friday May 12th at City Place. Everyone will dress nice for that one and I'll be video taping again.

Yeah Outkaster! Interesting approach to rocksteady drumming. Great video.

Here's my latest original song called
Today'
Hope you guys like it
Alex
