On YouTube there are ‘first time hearing’ music reaction videos. Nice to listen to some of the music they are hearing for the first time. I have wanted to create one also but over the long years I have listened to a ton of music so I changed this ‘first time’ format to ‘treating you to music I have in my collection’ for my entry into the video ‘reaction’ mix.

The first one didn’t turn out as smooth as I wanted.

This second one is an improvement (still more critiquing and improving to do) and also an artist few people are familiar with so I’m sharing it for those interested.

There is a pause in the music for some talk, that has to be done because of copyright rules. I will not be posting these ‘Reaction’ video Links to FB in the future, I just wanted to show you something else I have been working on besides the art stuff.

Emitt Rhodes, from his 1971 Album, Mirror. Thanks for stopping in and checking out my channel! Hope you enjoy this semi-reaction music selection from my ‘record’ collection.

While an accomplished artist in his own right, Emitt Rhodes most notable legacy was his sound alike voice of the Beatles, Paul McCarthy.

His style and skill of his songwriting and instrumentation also had that ’Beatles’ flavor. Unlike the ‘Beatles’ he was a solo artist and sang all vocals and played all instruments heard in this recording/earlier three albums which he layered on 4 and 8 track tape systems, in his own recording studio.

In my current Art Stuff 108 three minute YouTube video I highlight the selecting of designs for the starting of a new painting. This is a ’Still Shot’ from the video showing some examples of those designs.

Five days until the Juried portion of the Baker Portfolio project. Uploaded the current Art Stuff video to one of the ten sections. Added some additional text and moved a few images around.

Will continue to review.

With a fresh set of eyes from a friend to proof the Baker Portfolio project text, I dive back into a ‘text under reconstruction phase’ before the Jan. 26 juried deadline.

Spent most of yesterday reworking initial project and image text. A few more days to go.
