You did a bang up job at making your audience very happy. The smiling faces in the video tell it all. cool
I was also impressed by the new improved HD quality of your video.
Good luck with your new marketing campaign.

and a milestone birthday at that. Congratulations. - Scott

Bear in mind, even if the majority of the audience are over 80

years old, that would leave them at only 35 or so when the

Beatles and Beach Boys were tops. I feel your are treating

the listeners with contempt.

You are not doing yourself any good posting this type of

performance anywhere.

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but believe or not I'm trying to help.

I would have to say for the kind of audiences Beakybird is performing for in the US that this is what works and it works good. The Saints is a standard dixieland Made In America song that is widely recognized and enjoyed by all ages.

I mean, just look at the peoples pleasant reaction. That says it all. IMHO


Exactly, Scott. You gotta please your customers, they're the ones keeping you coming back, and Beaky's busy enough. Nobody's going to get 100% smiling faces 100% of the time, that's just unrealistic to expect.

Larry ... You want to show prospective clients what they are getting and you showed that ...
However, you said you wanted to market to "public libraries and park districts".
I think you may find an audience of a wider age group in those venues. That being the case, the only suggestion I might make is to have one video made up of clips from perhaps three different songs that might show your versatility, and the scope of the songs you can perform ... While 'everyone' knows "The Saints", you might want to include some songs such as "Sweet Caroline" and songs by the Beatles/Beach Boys/Elvis ...
JMHO

Best of luck ...

Thanks Tony,

I appreciate the suggestion of some '60's material. I will include that in the next video I make.

At these libraries, I have contacts for libraries that do programs for seniors, and I have the contacts for senior program coordinators at the park districts.

However, more and more baby boomers are becoming senior citizens, and I am including a lot of '50's and some '60's and '70's material in my show.

Thanks to everyone for watching!

Gotta check out unreal book
and it does everything onsong does?

Background colors. Font size. Font space
Change keys/chords instantly Scroll text. Etc

I will basically have black backround. White text for all my songs.
Just lyrics. Not musc.
So I want a lyrics app. Not a sheet music app

I just posted this video on my website. It's hard to get much done because my mom's in town for my 50th.

Thanks!
