Hi to all, I would like to share a curious thing with you, recently Youtube has blocked my video containing the cover of Roger Hodgson song "Give a little bit" because he (or someone for him) made a claim to Youtube...
Do you think that to play and sing a song, not for money, is a copyright violation?
I don't know the legal rules about this issue but I'm sure of one moral thing:
THIS IS SIMPLY RIDICULOUS.
I hope that one of my idols Mr Hodgson really doesn't know how some people manage his image...
Anyway he's not the only great artist so we can continue to post beautiful covers in addition to our original songs...
Enjoy...
All respect to Mr Hodgson.
Peace, Claudio.

I'M RECORDING THE NEW ALBUM WITH MY BAND, IT WILL BE READY SOON !!!

Hi and welcome to my Youtube channel, I'm Claudio Simoncini, italian musician, singer and songwriter. I started to sing playing guitar and listening America, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, John Denver, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Beatles and many others great artists... In particular I'm grown with the acoustic guitar passion, I like its natural woody sound. In 1991 I formed the West&Coast duo with my friend Massy and we have written some songs together. In my channel you can enjoy some covers songs and our original songs too... Have a good visit here... Friends are welcome, feel free to comment and subscribe...
Peace to all
Claudio
