One of the great things about Rising Star is that is not just based around music, but it also supports musicians.. We can have our music featured on the in-game radio. Musicians can be represented their

My community of local musicians have an online session tonight as we cannot get together. On some of these we can play live over Zoom, but for this one it is just pre-recorded audio. I was looking at a

About five years ago I decided to start doing my own podcast. I was inspired by various shows that were about guitar, but I wanted to try and focus more on making music than just obsessing about the gear

I released my debut album of original songs at Christmas. This is something I have wanted to do for a few years and I pushed myself to get it done in order to give it to family as a present. I am not looking

It has been a long time coming, but today I officially release my first album of original songs. It is called Long Runner. You can listen to it on Bandcamp and it is available for download for free or

You may know I am not a fan of the current POTUS. You may disagree with me, but I am happy to see that it looks like the people have voted him out. I know some claim there was some cheating going on, but

This is a Hive/3speak exclusive of my latest song that I just wrote today. It started when was watching a programme on Sky Arts last night where Brian Johnson of AC/DC was chatting to Dave Grohl. I sometimes

I have another Zoom open mic with my musician friends tonight and this is one of the songs I chose. It seems apt when people are risking their lives to save others. I actually decided to do all Foo Fighters.

Due to the low number of entries in this contest last week I won a prize! I hope to see a lot more in coming weeks. I know there are some great musicians out there. The theme from @cabelindsay this time

The Sonic Groove Live contest took a little break due to the uncertainty over the future of Steem, but it is back this week. I was going to do a cover, but @sonicgroovelive and @krystle said they would

This is my entry for the @SonicGroove Live weekly contest. It is a cover of the 1995 song by Supergrass. How can it be that long ago? I got the chords from here where you will also find the lyrics. It

I am back for another Sonic Groove Live. It is strange to think that the UK will finally leave the EU tomorrow night after years of bitter argument. I still think the referendum was badly organised. They

This is the song I was recording when I wrote last week about my recording efforts. I wrote it a while ago and it all happened as the lyrics describe. I used my Tanglewood #ukulele. I did the original

Some of you will know that I did over 100 entries for the old Open Mic contest on Steem, but that ended a while ago and I got out of the habit of recording song videos. I heard about @sonicgroovelive and

I was all ready to do my regular entry for the long running weekly contest, but there is no new contest post. I hope @luzcypher is okay. I decided to record a song anyway. This song is from 1910 and I

For my 104th entry in the Steemit Open Mic run by @luzcypher I have an old protest song by the late, great Woody Guthrie. I had heard about this song that he wrote when he was a tennant in an appartment

For my 102nd entry to the Open Mic content run by @luzcypher I have some 80s electro-pop as recorded by Soft Cell, but it actually dates back to 1964 when Tainted Love was recorded by Gloria Jones. A friend

I'm back for another open mic contest brought to you by @luzcypher. Vote for his witness! This was the only hit I know of for Timbuk 3 and it was older than I thought as it came out in 1986. It is actually

It is hard for me to believe that I have now entered this contest 100 times. My first entry was in week 4 with Space Oddity. I think over 20 of the songs have been originals by me. It has been a great

For my 98th entry in the Open Mic contest by @luzcypher I am singing yet another old song with my ukulele. This is one we perform at the pub. We have formed a little band with guitar, clarinet, violin
