Alyona Yarushina performed an energetic cover of a Led Zeppelin hard rock track from 1976. Cool style. 8)

I've got to admit that I do use A.I.!  But, not in the way you may think. 

I'm sure I'm no the only one doing this, but my only real use for A.I. is stem spliting, As it has the potential to return a higher quality stem... most of the time. I find it's great tool for building backing tracks and once complete they really help the learning process, whether that's a personal project or learning songs for a cover band. 

I have learnt so many songs this way just in the last year, more than at any other point in my life and I'm just going to keep going.

Hi.
I really like that first verse
It's really welcoming.

I can't imagine how the chorus would sound
Maybe it's effective
I don't know.

In all it looks to be in an early stage of development
Good luck with it.

I always enjoy hearing and watching Ana Vidovic play a variety of guitars. Awesome! 8)

Grammar Police 8)    That brings back some old old school memories.  In my case a lack of memories.  Every time my English teacher got onto the subject Grammar my eyes would glaze over and my brain turned off until the end of the lesson.   I recently, tried reading up on it and low and behold I felt my eye start to glaze and brain fog up!

I enjoyed rewatching a season 2 episode of the western series Bonanza titled The Abduction (1960). Barbara Lawrence guest stars as the beautiful and svelte Della Thompson, who works in a carnival venue. I rate the episode a strong 6 out of 10 stars.

6⭐ A decent episode, made better by the presence of Barbara Lawrence, who looks amazing in the show! 👍🍿

BTW, she's not not the bearded circus lady in the YT splash screen below—LOL!

LOL! No worries, man! I'm definitely not the grammar police, and I could easily imagine Robert Plant in his Led Zeppelin days rapidly screaming out "I felt a cold wind blowin' but my baby wuz smokin' hot!" LOL!!! 🤣😂

Right, I was watching "The Boroughs" on Netflix last week and at the end of episode three this came on.


It sounds older that it is. It was quite a shock to find it was released 2009. Even more shocking was it's "Ryan Gosling" singing in his side project.
