My personal thoughts on making music:
1) Music to me is by definition emotions. A song is an island filled with deep emotions and feelings and a song must be able to touch the listener in the heart and soul.
2) I don't believe in simply copying the orginal. Try to change a song into your own version of it. For instance in the way you play an instrument and/or sing or change tempo or add different musical arrangements,etc.
3)I don't mind playing covers of songs. In the classical music world almost everything consists of covers. The musicpieces of composers are often centuries old.In popular music it's no problem playing songs written and recorded by others.Just add what is specifically your own.
4) Music is always subject to people's personal taste. Your background, culture, the country you live in, your environment, etc, are factors that may influence your musical taste. But all humans have emotions and feelings. With music you can touch someone in the heart and soul and arouse emotions and feelings.
5) pure technical skills don't necessarily mean that a music piece or song is conceived as beautiful.
6) it are the listeners that will judge your songs and music. Not you as the musician or other people in the music business.

WOW, WOW, WOW. Roy Orbison didn't die....my God, you have his voice, I'm sure. Best version I've heard so far. You sing like it's the last time you will ever sing. I'm a musician myself....but you sir, are a great ARTIST. Where do you live?

My Brother spent four years stationed there.... LOVED IT. You can consider getting in contact with the Canada Arts and Culture Centre. They are located in every large and small town across Canada. Something to consider. I'd go see your show. Keep it up.
