Title: Playing live, online...
Post by: PopTodd on June 30, 2017, 01:17:34 PM
I just got this Facebook Live thing, so I think I might do a live performance at the Hop On Pop page on Facebook. Maybe this weekend.
Time TBD

Or, should this post be in the "Open Mic" forums?

What a great idea! I plan to watch, if I can. :)

I should post a caveat:
I am in Chicago, IL, USA.
That makes the time here GMT -6, so it might be a little bit late for you folks in the UK. But, if you are up, I do hope that you are watching!
I'll announce the day and time sometime later today (in this hemisphere).

Lucky me... I am also in time zone GMT -6.  :)

I just so happened to have the house to myself for a few minutes, so—spur of the moment—I decided to do it. No notice. Sorry.
But, if you want to see the video, you can still watch it:

Playing for the camera is distracting. Trying not to look at myself, and yet still not able to NOT look at myself.

Still, I'll probably do another one again sometime. Will probably also be spur of the moment, unless I can schedule one sometime.

Anyway, if you do watch it, let me know.

Enjoyed the song I watched, Pop. I think the platform is a little way away from where it needs to be - the sound was great but the video was out of synch. You should raise the PC up a little to get a better angle, too. But minor points, it's a great idea and something well worth considering.

Some excellent picking going on - really nice grooves and fine vocals!
