I've got to admit I too "prefer song, performance." But I don't quite have the skills to play guitar with one rhythm and sing in another.

This is a cool cover version of Lotta Love by The Hindley Street Country Club featuring the amazing Kat Jade on lead vocals. The track was originally released back in 1978 by Nicolette Larson.

Quote from: Billy_Lunch_Money on Jun 30, 2026, 08:13 PMIs it me or are the verses of differing lengths? I like it!  But I can't really say anything more until I hear it over some backing music. 

Yes
Thanks for commenting

The syllable count will be off at times
So, its possible it doesnt read as well as it is performed.
I do like poetry, the written word
I prefer song, performance art.
I produce both.
Cant wait to get to record n polish it up. 👍

I have some pretty exciting news regarding the process of creating music videos. Last night and today, I created my first customized music video for my song Does a Sorceress Make Love? It was a straightforward, but involved process.

First, I used Claude Fable 5 to help me create an outline and prompts for the video. This required me to provide my lyrics with a time-index for each line. Claude then created a series of very detailed prompts for each shot and its motion. The full video script outlined 34 clips of 8–10 seconds each, which I adjusted for time and placement as needed.

Then, using Runway via its Agent 2.0, I designed my leading character, Hedra, and generated all 34 clips from the prompts. I initially wanted to use an adorable model from Pexels who appears in many of my videos, but for this test exercise I went with the character Runway designed to my specs. She still doesn't look exactly as I intend, so version 2 of the video will address and fix that.

Finally, I used Kdenlive on Linux Mint 22.3 — a free video editor, and it worked great! Very intuitive for the most part. It let me insert my song's WAV, place each video clip against it, add lyric titles synced to each line, and render the full music video to an HD mp4 to upload to YouTube with my other videos.

I'm not ready to share this first video prototype yet — plus the song itself needs some more work. But hopefully soon!

I'm super pleased with the process and the results for a first attempt. This will let me tailor videos specifically to my songs going forward, rather than turning songs over to a Fiverr videographer and ending up with videos that don't quite fit the story line. So yeah — tons of potential here, finally... and it will only get better.

Avery good movie this one!!! Lines that put scenes into the eyes, making laugh and provoking thought,

When I am born again I would like to write like you do, now I am too much myself 

I enjoyed it all, a so good production!! What are you doing here?

I recently rewatched an episode of Bonanza titled The Quality of Mercy (1963). No spoilers except to say that the lovely Nancy Rennick plays a beautiful and sweet young lady who is engaged to be married during the mid-19th century in the western American frontier. I rate the episode 7 out of 10 stars.

7⭐ A very good episode that I enjoyed — rewatchable gem! 🍿😄

Another winner, Elvis. Solid lyrics, vocals, music, and mix. The best lines are:

Life's a crooked carnival ride from hell
One long joke nobody knows how to tell
Politicians stealing while they wave and grin

Good stuff, man. Keep 'em coming!
