I just discovered why I never listened to this song all the way through. I finally did listen and found every verse painting a mental picture. "MICROPHONE!" To my ears, your vocals were competing against the guitar which I found to drown out some of your vocals. If you don't mind me making a small suggestion, I would suggest investing in a boom mic. Check out Musician Friends. It would do wonders for your songs!
@SirOtis I think this was the second video I did. Would love to have a boom mic and an electric acoustic guitar...just can't afford it right now. So, I do what I can to get my songs out there. The camera and camera mic have worked somewhat well for me. I agree that my vocals on this song should have probably been a little louder...but overall I'm pleased with it. Hey, at least I can say that in my songs there are no "studio tricks" or manipulation. God bless and take care Otis!
Excellent piece of work! Thank you very much for Sharing!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!
Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!
@longLashes4 You are very welcome! Hate hearing that you all are going through the same thing over in Ireland. Times have been tough, the past few years. I hope you're well!....Daniel
Daniel, I knew you played the guitar. I didn't know you could play the harmonica and especially with the guitar at the same time. You have a gift. You remind me more and more of dad. Love you!
Wonderful!
Great job!
