Huck's World

I've played 250 minutes this last two week ...so 3920 /4137 for the year.
I've played 15/100 Blogtv shows.
I've made 20/52 music videos.

I did shit on practice, but in my defence...well...nah, any defence would be pretty shit. I work 60 hours a day, i have a pregnant wife, and i work nights so my free time isn't always acoustic guitar compatable. I still should be able to fit in 30 minutes of i get my fat arse off the computer chair (which is the real reason, after all). I heard on the radio that the only way to be rgeat at something is through thousands of hours practice, and here i am trying to get 10,000 minutes done in a year. So, at that rate (167 hours a year) I'll be a great guitarist by the time i'm oooooh, 108 years old. I need to pick the pace up a bit if i can, but as the kid is due in November, i doubt i'll be Yngie Malsteen good any time soon.

I recorded another song - "sitting, waiting, wishing" by Jack Johnson - which i at least managed to sing fairly ... Read more »

I've played 490 minutes this last two week ...so 3670 /3918 for the year.
I've played 15/100 Blogtv shows.
I've made 19/52 music videos.

An intresting thing happened to me. I passed 100 subs on youtube and i couldn't make the obligatory Yeehaa video that people make.

I got myself put on the channel page of a big youtuber who auctioned off spots in what he called "The cool box". Basically you can list channels on your home page and when people subscribe to you they get the option to sub to all your favs aswell. This went well, i jumped from 39 subs to 66 or so then something strange happened. The guy (Happy Cabbie) found out he had cirrhosis of the liver and told everyone in a video he had a terminal disease...then an even larger channel gave him a shout out suggesting people subscribe to him. I now have 176 subs. If he dies i could rake it in :P.
This all has meant that i've been getting a few more views, but i always thought that i'd get to celeberate a landark ... Read more »

I've played 420 minutes this last two week ...so 3180 /3507 for the year.
I've played 14/100 Blogtv shows.
I've made 17/52 music videos.
I've run 65.5 miles this year

It's been a year since i started this blog/site. I noticed just as i started typing this.
I've made two music vids since i last blogged. One was a song i wrote myself (for which i am very proud of), and one is a version of a David Grey song.

The song i wrote myself is called "raise a glass for Danny" and is basically a song about reminiscence. Danny is an old friend of mine who died some time back, and he is one a few people who died young in my area or in my group of friends/associates. He actually died in his 40's so he was not as young as most of those who fell by the wayside, but he was a good friend of mine so i thought using his name was apt for the song. Wherever you are mate, i hope you're enjoying a glass of Bucky or whatever.

I managed 420 minutes practice in the past two weeks ... Read more »

Doing this every two week till i start getting some views, there's only so much i can say when i work 60 hours a week anyway :P

363 minutes behind on my playing, so i have to get myself back on track. I have a couple of riffs i want to make songs out of, it's just the lyrics that are holding me back. Using the capo on 3rd and 4th frets respectively, one sounds a bit 60s hippyish, and the other is slow and uses a couple of chords i stole from the barenaked ladies. Every time i try to write lyrics the come out melancholy about the summer and telling people not to worry...is that strange? I think it's because i'm going to be a father and i'm feeling rather parental now.

Only ran once this week which is crap...gym on Teusday, i have to do it.

There is a friend of mine, his daughter ... Read more »
