Steemit Open Mic Week 95 "Leader Of The Band"

[jerrytsuseer]

After hours of fiddling with furniture (I ended up sitting on the back of an arm chair)
camera (when I tried to record directly TO the computer using a very long USB,
it was all pixelated) I ended up using the computer to be sure to get the settings
and angles as I wanted, then unplugging and recording directly to the chip.
All that time, I should have been using to practice the song. 😆
Then the software wouldn't let me render the video 😞

This is a COVER (and not a very good one; I'm very out of practice on guitar)
of a Fogelberg classic, I do NOT OWN the rights to this song, it is for a contest.
I hope you enjoy

I'm speechless @curie, I hadn't expected this, in fact I thought I
Had missed something when I didn't see any other posts
For this weeks Open Mic. Thank you so much! It has
Been over a year since ONE post of mine has
Brought in this much income. Thank you.

Nice entry, Jerry!

[jerrytsuseer]

Thank you very much @passion-ground

[jerrytsuseer]

Just curious, what is your connection to the Open mic contest? I didn't see an entry in my quick scan of your profile just now, but you were complimenting many of the entries.
Are you one of the judges @passion-ground? are you an alias for @luzcypher?
Like I said, I'm just curious, people say I'm nosy. ha ha

[passion-ground]

I am an official judge...

[jerrytsuseer]

That is good to know @passion-ground. Are you a musician? if so, what do you
Play?Do you enter the contest yourself? ^{You see, I AM nosy ha ha ha}

[passion-ground]

I just put the following in the Steemit search bar

"@passion-ground open mic week 35"

And this is what came up...

https://steemit.com/openmic/@passion-ground/open-mic-week-35-the-beatles-daytripper-performed-by-passion-ground

As you can see, I play a little bit of everything. And, yes, I began entering the Open-Mic in week 34 and more or less stopped due to lack of time after becoming an official judge. I still try to get an unofficial entry or project posted every now and then.

[jerrytsuseer]

I have my entry up on my profile for this week, 96 but just like last week, I can't find the
Current contest post where I post my link to
Enter.
What time does @luzcypher put up the new entry
Post @passion-ground?

[passion-ground]

Technically, you're supposed to wait to post entry's until the new contest week is announced, which is on Sunday's. Just keep a watch for the new weekly announcements on @luzcyphers blog.

I did enjoy it, Jerry! Good luck in open mike!

[jerrytsuseer]

Thanks @cecicastor, I'm confused, it seems I may have jumped the gun as I don't see any other posts. The contest usually starts on Sunday and runs through Friday, the last week was 94, but there was a part 1 and part 2, which I had never seen before so I don't know what it means.
I went to a considerable amount of trouble to get it done
And posted today. Even if I've missed something, it
Was worth it, learning more about the camera
and the software. Thanks again @cecicastor

[cecicastor]

You are welcome, @jerrytsuseer!

[samjgonz]

Amazing bro!

[jerrytsuseer]

Thanks, I really WAS much better at it years ago when I first learned it.
Now I have the guitar tuned down a whole tone just so I can hit the
Notes, and my fingering is SOOOO sloppy compared to back
Then. Still I am grateful for your comment @samjgonz
