As other posts have indicated, I do a lot of busking. Being out in public you get to see so many things and experiences that you dont get by playing music in any other way. Many of these things I make a quick tweet or fb post about and then it disappears into the ether
Well no more I say!
I'm going to start putting them in blog format, then maybe one day, if I have enough, I can get someone with real skills in written English to compile them and make it cohesive and interesting - then put them into an e-book
Here is yesterdays tale...
I was playing Matty Groves and a woman and her lad (a toddler) came by. The little boy stopped, started a little dance, then stopped and stared, rapt, taking it all in
I finished the song and said "do you like Jungle Book?" and started playing King Of The Swingers before getting an answer. He started crying
I stopped and said "do you want another 500 year old song about sex and murder?" and he nodded
In other news, I've been recording lots of demos lately. Initially for the purpose of me being able to hear them back and figure out any changes, I then decided to start posting them as I've got more than enough for an album and would like your help in deciding which are the better ones to go on the album
You can listen to them all here http://www.reverbnation.com/lewbear
I've got 4 songs that will definitely be going on that I'm not demoing and 2 more that I've yet to record. Also, it'll likely be March before I get the chance to record them properly, so a fair bit of time to write more yet too, so keep popping back and checking for new ones.
So, if there's any you like, make sure you let me know, coz I want your favourites on it
