A little news on the technology front - bought a new mic AKG D-5. This is allowing me to capture my unplugged Taylor DN8 with the condenspor mic and use the new mic for vocals. Still mixed into the Audiogram6 interface. To my ear, and that of listeners, it seems the Taylor has a far richer tone.
A few weeks have been discouraging. It's Summer - not as many comments from folks. Oh well what can you do? I have decided that I need to work to better promote the YouTube channel itself. I've been relying on traffic from the AcousticGuitarForum, but I think it's time to do a little 'marketing'.
I've been adding more descriptive history and commentary, and people seem to be enjoying the backstory in YT. I've also started adding lyrics and chords consistently. In the long-run, it should result in more web hits.
Here are June's songs:
