Dixieland Delight Music Video

This is Dixieland Delight.  Originally done by the Country Band Alabama, back in the 80s.

All real instruments, all real vocals, all production, all me :O .  This video of mine, when I put it up on YouTube, Alabama's people reported to YouTube that I was using their "Content".  I would never do that, I sent in the dispute, and they came back and said it was now ok to keep the video up - that I was not, after all, using Alabama's music :D 

Some of these videos, that I did a while back, were before I bought my acoustic drum set.  Electronic drums don't look good on video :D .

Mr. Haggard Music Video, An Original Of Mine

This is an original of mine.  I wrote this one back in the early 2000s.  I've recorded it several times, this is the latest version.  It's me lamenting to Merle on the horrible music and "Artists" we're being subjected to, and how the big record labels and Mainstream Radio is trying desperately to make traditional Country Music go away.  What has been coming out of Nashville in the past 40 years is pitiful.  We need to stop the corruption.

Shenandoah On The Harmonica Music Video

 This is an old classic.  I don't have the slightest on who originally did this one.  Charlie McCoy did it in the 70s, which is where I got this version.

As I've said before, I would rather not have to say this on every video I put up, but, I don't want anyone thinking I'm here doing karaoke, AI, computer generated "Content", or anything of the kind.  No trickery, I would never insult you people like that.  It's all me, playing all real instruments.

As I'm still being shadow banned on Google, YouTube, and Facebook, I'm hoping people can find me here.  If you would take the time, flood my YouTube channel, with friends, family, etc.  These people are playing dirty against any person who might be halfways decent at what he does.

Bad Moon Rising Music Video

 This is my all time favorite song, Bad Moon Rising.  When I was 12 and 13 years old, I got stuck in my room a lot, so I learned first the ukulele, then the guitar.  I ruined all my Creedence Records learning their songs - one note at at time.  Of course, Dad wasn't going to buy me a decent guitar and amp, so I did all I knew, and ended up with a Rapier electric guitar, and some off brand amp that was horrible.  I played in a little 8th grade band for a couple months.  Egos, personalities - you know...

So, this is my doing this classic Creedence song.  All me, all real instruments.

Speaking of Bad Moon Rising, I don't like what's going on in the world.  Some very disturbed people are burning down the planet.  I'm sure there's an end game.  Ah well, we'll see where this goes.

Noho Paipai Music Video

 This is a classic traditional Hawaiian song.  It's Noho Paipai, The Rocking Chair Hula.  I don't know who did it originally.  The Kaau Crater Boys made it popular in the 80s.  Today it's me. 

Again, it's all me, playing real instruments, thanks to multi track recording.  The ukulele is a Sonny D.  He built it for me after the first one I bought from him got stolen.  This is a fun one, because I get to play that ukulele :D .

The Devil Went Down To Georgia Music Video

 I did this one many years ago - the backing track part.  As with all my videos, I played all the parts - on real instruments.  I never really liked this one all that much, being that it's not my style of fiddle playing.  I had to fudge a lot of it to fit my way of playing.  When I play out live - and people see the fiddle, they immediately start yelling for this song.  I guess it's common knowledge that it's not an easy one.  I don't think it's because they need t hear it, it's because they think I can't do it.  There are many people out there who get some kind of cheap thrill by stumping the music guy.  So, I went ahead and learned this one.
