[Miliscent2]

Really, Barry, you should compile your own album and put it on the market for your many fans, of which I am an avid one. All my best to you, Sir...

[useryug]

Hello, Miliscent2.

Many thanks for your delightful comment, and for following my music! I have done a few collaborations with Freddy here, my favourite jazz guitarist in the world... I play here in the UK with a little folk trio. We have been making a record, and it will be released later this summer.... (plenty of me on violin and guitars) !!

Very best wishes, Miliscent,

Barry

[useryug]

Many thanks John.

So far, I'm just at the top of the first page of The Book Of Jazz, which I gather you guys wrote. However, we don't do mistakes, just the odd note in the wrong place here and there!

Very best wishes,

B

Je vous salue, M.Barry; Sur cet exploit technique, Qui vous donne, mais cinq étoiles...

J'admire également vôtre talent créatif justement, à la recherche de pouvoir réunir à un endroit précis ce prestige de deux êtres, situés en deux hémisphères différents de notre planète. Ce qui donne évidemment encore plus de merveilles dans l'écoute, de vôtre interprétation je vous remercie de votre partage...

jacques de paris

[useryug]

Jacques, beaucoup de mercis de votre commentaire fin ! Mon Français n'est pas très bon, ainsi j'utilise un traducteur. J'admire votre belle peinture, et la regarderai plus en retard. Merci pour ceci commentaire. Freddy et moi avons eu l'amusement sur cet air, lui aux Etats-Unis et moi à Londres ! Les meilleurs voeux, Barry,

London

[daviemcf]

[useryug]

Hey, Mokezz! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mokezz]

work useryug! :D

[pauldil]

Thanks Barry. I was wondering why it was turned off. I'll stop by...

Paul

[pauldil]

Barry, great job on the video effect! The tune is extremely enjoyable. I'm a big fan of Freddy's playing and was very pleasantly surprised to hear his singing! Your violin adds such a wonderful, expresive element to the tune.

Regards,

Paul

[useryug]

Hi Paul! Many thanks for your comment. I'm a big fan of the Freddy's playing too. - He'd only sung little snatches on his lesson vids before, so this vocal's a treat for us! I tried to play the notes he does on his chord solo for this tune.

Great to have you stop by, Paul. Thanks,

Barry

[Spiow]

thanks for keeping it up! great music to relax to...

[useryug]

That's a pleasure Spiow, many thanks for your comment.

Barry (violin)

[useryug]

Hey thanks, TheDarkVillager! I've done my first attempt at chromakeying in the vid, and I have lost some detail. The violin's an 'Antoni', and has a full skeletal frame, not clear in the vid. - A budget instrument, but it's served me well for a while now.

Barry:-)

[scottbos68]

wonderful thank you my good friends

[useryug]

Our pleasure, scottbos. Thank you for your comment.

[wa4kec]

This has always been a great favorite of mine

and I got back to the 50es with Bob Manning singing. Great job I enjoy all your music. Do

have CD's available for purchase.

Dan

[useryug]

Hi Dan, and many thanks for this comment.

My friend Freddy is singing and playing guitar in the USA, and I'm playing violin in London - computer wizardry makes us appear in the same room.

I've never been asked before for CD's -sorry, not at the moment, but I'm honoured you should ask. Perhaps we may look into this for the future.

More tunes on the way, and thanks again for your visit!

hey barry!didn't know that freddy had a super voice!how did you that!Splendid collaboration men.ivmar

[useryug]

Hey ivmar, great to hear from you!

Yes the vocal's superb, and I loved playing on this.

The effect is 'chromakey' - I'm filmed in front of a green screen. The software filters out the green.

Good to see you on myspace -

Thanks,

Barry

[dhaffner101]

Hey Barry! Man, your gettin' pretty good at this video edit stuff!! What a beautiful tune you two have done here!

5 big stars for each of ya!

[useryug]

Hi Dave, thanks for lookin in! You're supposed to think Freddy's nipped over to London for a jam!! (I'm honoured to do another tune with the Maestro.) - Lovin' the poetry -

Stars on the mantelpiece - I'll look after Fred's too! many thanks,

Barry

[Chordwayze]

Yo Barry... A great 'jam'. Shades of Venuti and Lang without doubt; smooth obligato Barry and "ol' velvet-voice" coming across great. First class stuff. Well done Freddy and Barry/Marlene and co! Regards

John

[useryug]

Wow John, looks like I'm gonna learn whether I like it or not!

A pleasure for me as always to jam with the mighty Fredster!

Very best wishes, and thanks for lookin in

Barry

[EdMuirton]

[marlene3939]

Hi Barry, We really appreciate your trials & tribulations in making this video. We're looking forward to your next venture-after you recuperate from this one!

[useryug]

Dear Marlene,

thanks! - trickier than I expected, but I think overall, it worked out pretty well.

I had a grand time, as usual, and might have learned a one or two more useful things!

Barry

[captaindomingo]

Excellent  and very original jazz duo!

Wonderful, Bravi!!!

Capt.Domingo

[useryug]

Cap'n, an honour to hear from you, many thanks for your kind comment!!!

Barry

[zorinlove]

Great violin licks man, your mastery of the technology is amazing, it's great to be alive in the 21st century isn't it?

[useryug]

Hey Perry, love this tech stuff when it works!

I wrote out the solo notes Fred does on guitar - great to learn new licks, specially easy ones! My email was down today- scary!

Thanks!!!

[chirogirl67550]

Oh WOW---this is great!!! Mr. Velvet voice and the violin player....how classical...Absolutely beautiful...Loved it, Loved it, Loved it. 5 star---because you two are wonderful!!!!

[DieselBodine]

Excellently done! Smooth and tasty from both of you.

[useryug]

Hey Diesel, many thanks. The world awaits a Bodine guitar tune, specially me!

Wonder if the 3 of us could ever get a good tune together.....

Thinkin of ya, guy.

B:-))

[userfixit]

This is a "Total" Masterpiece.

I'm calling this one 'Maestro Squared' or M2

Superb Violin

Superb Vocal Fred. Nice playing too. Great Voice quality.

Barry - It looks like you and Fred are truly side by side. Great job !!!

5 by 5 Starz...

-Basement Bob

[useryug]

Hey, BB!

- nah, he's the Maestro, the tall one with the hair! Lol! Pretty fine vocal, huh? - I had the pleasure again of having a go at getting round one of these fine tunes.

Many thanks, Bob. I'm puttin' those stars straight on the mantelpiece!

Barry:-))

[userfixit]

Both of Y'all should be Proud of your work.

Actually looks as though you and Fred are side by side.

I can even see your Halo...

Fred has a really good Voice.

He is not Rookie... no, not Foxy Fred.

B. Bob

[janprimus]

That was fabulous guys. I want to get in on this now. I want to sing and play rhythm while Freddy can comp and play tasty licks along with Barry. Or I suppose I could bust out the old doghouse and wail away...

[useryug]

Janprimus, great to hear from you, and many thanks for your comment. - Amazing performance over at channel janprimus - Bravo, sir!

Barry

[BocaFriend]

This is the most beautiful, sensational video I have seen on YouTube or anywhere on the net! It is a brilliant testament to the human spirit for conquering that which separates and limits us (like logistics and physical challenges) and emerges with that which binds us together in artistry and friendship. I had tears of joy while watching this. Freddy you sound a bit like Clint Eastwood while Barry reminds me of Grappelli! Awesome! Thank you both!! Cheers!

[useryug]

Terry, I'm delighted by your comments! This project proved a bit of a tricky one in the edit, but your wonderful response has made the work worthwhile!

ps, Clint does sound a bit like Fred, doesn't he!?!

Many thanks!

Barry

[pinknblues1]

Lovely stuff!!

[useryug]

Thanks very much, you guys!

Barry

[Stevepat1]

That's really nice! Barry, your violin playing is excellent and to see Freddy playing rhythm and singing is a special treat. Thanks guys!

[useryug]

Hey Steve, great to hear from ya, and glad you enjoyed it. - I know you're into these tunes!

Thanks,

Barry

[useryug]

ps, how's the camera situation?

[Stevepat1]

I'm shopping around and saving my some money.
