If I Had a Time Machine, An Original Song

[Elmifyfan1]

As soon as I saw the ukulele, I thought you were a nerdfighter!! Dftba!

[Darkbull2583]

I want an album how much and where can I get one?

[live2tivo]

@Darkbull2583 live2tivo . bandcamp . com (minus the spaces) Thank you for all of your comments! They brightened my afternoon.

[Atuchy]

I absolutely love this song!

[uketreehugger]

[MrAnatolius777]

Good song and good voice.

Just say very quickly, pausing at least sometimes

[hpr2008]

Oh Tally. You're adorable. And so creative! I can't wait to be able to say I knew you when you're a big star. :)

[gypsiecat1]

this should be the doctor who theme song. Well... the current theme song is pretty cool though. Actually if they mess up the theme song I am gonna be so pissed.

[rrpilot]

Love the shirt, and the song of course!

[PrinceAugy]

the one place dr. who hs never been, inside of another telephone box.... lol *grin*

[klandersen42]

[MsCKDexter]

Your voice is charming! Love it :)

[bacsilva]

Happy anniversary Tabi's mom and dad =D

[RuhBuhJuh1]

This may not be Trock, but can we call it...Trocoustic? :)

[MrDoctornator]

Did you deliberately put all your awesome stuff in one corner of your room or is that by coincidence?

[live2tivo]

@MrDoctornator My room is full of awesome stuff. I just shift it around sometimes to fit what I'm singing about in a particular video. (The Doctor Who picture is usually above the head of my bed.)

[Jonstern1983]

AND STEWIE!

[Jonstern1983]

I mean first Firefly/Serenity, then Doctor Who... outstanding.

[RamblingPants]

The DeLorean crashing into the TARDIS seems to have caused some spatial distortions.

[Jonstern1983]

You're awesome!

[Statistic100]

Stewie doesn't look pleased with your singing. Don't worry though, I am.

[SnapCracklePopize]

This song is great. I'm totally subbing. :D

[Eodred]

Hi, marry me :D

[15writergirl]

[13495]

Did you hear about Elizabeth Sladen :'(

[live2tivo]

@13495 I did! It's so sad. RIP, Sarah Jane.

[bobolob]

Glad you're back! Fun song as usual :)

[Grainsurlaplage]

Thank you! It was sooooo long to wait since last song !

[Pooleh08]

Ha ha you have a new jar of spaghetti sauce on your dresser.

[live2tivo]

@Pooleh08 It's pizza sauce. I like to make mini pizzas on sandwich thins/tortillas.

[Pooleh08]

@live2tivo oh yeah, I think remember you explaining something about it awhile back.

[Ash1316182123]

Yay Tally's back! More Trock-ish songs to make the wait till Saturday go a little faster.

[unclbtfan803]

Where did you get the shirt? Its freaking AWESOME!

[mgenetiano]

Your music and voice are cute but i really dig the shrt's so why i'm a fan DFTBA :D

[mgenetiano]

[idavies16]

@live2tivo I'm playing and singing your song, Not Bertie Bott's for my school talent show next month. You've inspired me.

[elizziebooks]

Congrats on the shout-out, 3k, and writing a wonderful song. I would probably do a lot of similar things.  And I'd go back in time and watch (old) seasons of Doctor Who as they aired. ^_^

[AproposOfMe]

I like the idea that Charlie sheen not mattering anymore

[booksforlife]

You are ah-mazing! =D This is such a cool song and your shirt, as previously said, is SO AWESOME! =D

[posthumorously]

LOVE! :) If I had a time machine, I'd try to save a few people... Screw the space-time continuum and Doc Brown!

[7chobbers7]

I think that DFTBA Records is in your future. Just saying. You're that good.

[live2tivo]

@7chobbers7 Aww. Thanks. That means a lot to me. If only it could really happen. I try not to let myself think it's possible. 

[turok14]

I love your shirt.. =)

[xKirstynHippe]

WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR SHIRT.

[live2tivo]

@xKirstynHippe Shirt.Woot! 

[TheStingrayGnome]

I just keep wondering why your shirt isn't exploding.

[bobolob]

@TheStingrayGnome What do you mean? The Delorean clearly hit 88 MPH before colliding with the Tardus :)

[LastJudgments]

You have the shirt I have wanted for a hot minute. So glad to see something new from you

[gRosh08]

You are so fun to hear and watch... thanks

[chaosx910]

Is your uke named after Anya from Buffy?

[live2tivo]

Yep. All of my ukes have Whedon-related names. Echo Lee Kaywinnet (Kaylee), Penelope (after Penny from Doctor Horrible), Anyanka Gwen (Anya), and Darlene Harmony (Joss Whedon worked on Roseanne, and one of my favorite books from my childhood had a character named Darlene Harmony). That is probably way more than you needed to know, but I love my ukulele names. When I get my next one at some point in the future, it will be named November Dawn.

[matismf]

Glad to see you survived the Big Apple!

Tell your parents congratulations on their anniversary. We hope they have MANY more!

But Kaylee is very disappointed that you don't love her any more.

[live2tivo]

@matismf NYC was fantastic, as always. I'll be posting more from that trip once WGNAmerica sends me some of the footage.

I still love Kaylee, but she's dreadfully out of tune with no hope of being in tune without new strings, which is a hassle.

[matismf]

@live2tivo

One must take care of one's kids, no matter how unruly they may be. And poor Penelope and Harmony feel thoroughly unloved as well...

[live2tivo]

@matismf Haha. Penelope has some tuning issues, too. Harmony is just super temperamental. Her tuning pegs are super sensitive, unlike Anya's. I haven't had to tune Anya in weeks. I check her tuning every couple of days, but it's always good.

[matismf]

@live2tivo If you're playing a concert, you ARE pretty much stuck with choosing one for the show. But for your individual videos, you DO have an opportunity to experiment. Are all your songs so similar that only Anya's character is the best fit? Or would some be better with Harmony's, Penelope's, or Kaylee's idiosyncrasies? Yes, it is a challenge to keep all 4 worthy of playing. But that does expand one's range. And isn't that what making music is all about?

[live2tivo]

@matismf Fixing up all of that stuff can get expensive (especially Harmony's tuning peg issues) and time consuming. I only have Anya with me at school, because she's sturdy and reliable. Honestly, Kaylee is a very low quality ukulele. I got her for $20 as a starter uke. I don't play her because Harmony is better. Penelope is a lower quality version of what I get by playing Anya. I could play Harmony now, but I have to tune her every ten minutes, which is frustrating.

[matismf]

@live2tivo And those may be valid reasons for not using the others. Some musicians pick a formula and build their entire career around it. If that's what you want, that's fine. Others choose to grow their range. You don't necessarily have to take up steel drums to do that. Each of your ukes has their own character. While Anya is most convenient, it would be good to challenge yourself to choose the one that best fits the song you are videoing. Yeah, it's a pain to retune (continued)...

[live2tivo]

@matismf I do this for fun, because I enjoy playing the ukulele and writing silly little songs about TV shows that could someday help me make connections in the TV industry (some already have), so I can get a job writing TV shows. I'm not saying I want to get in a rut, but I don't have time, for the most part, to get fancy. Anya is convenient and fast and it means I can write more songs. You're reading too much into the fact that I have a favorite ukulele.

[matismf]

@live2tivo Sorry! Enjoy your opportunities! And welcome back!

[CadillacL]

Its been TOO long girl! I've missed u.

[comewatchmefly]
