NEW VIDEO – House Show
Been a lot of work to put this pretty thing together. It gives me a smile almost all the way through just to see the joy in peoples’ faces and the fun stuff that got captured in these few short sessions of filming live performances at Meddlesome Lab. I’ve been helping to run shows at that place for nearly 10 years now, so this song certainly has a special place in my heart. I hope you will watch the video and glean just a bit of the cultural enrichment I’ve been blessed to recieve through such a space. Thanks to all my subscribers for making this sort of thing possible. I think the videos are only going to improve as I learn how to use my camera properly and get better at editing and animation!
Song #6 – House Show
Great pleasure! This song took a ton of hours to complete. It’s the first of the 23 Psaegz songs that I’ve done as part of this song of the week project. It was written during the #100songs series, so it counts. I wrote “House Show” the morning after a sweet show in September with Diane Cluck and some other awesome artists including Ken’s Last Ever Radio Extravaganza and Cammy Enaharo. I’ve been running shows here at Whenland and also at Meddlesome Lab in Rochester for almost 7 years now. It’s almost always an inspirational and joyous time, so I decided to dedicate a song to the concept so that perhaps other people might experience its joys. Special thanks to all my bandmates from 23 Psaegz for their work on this one.
