Home jam from August 18/21. The trick to these long jams is my bionic arm. Powered by lithium batteries, I recharge it every night and then I'm good to go for hours!

Here's a look at a 12 year old shatnershairpiece. This was a great year. I had just received my spiffy leisure suit, ordered from the Quelle catalog. Second spectacular season of Six million dollar man had just ended on the bionic woman episodes, and Steve Austin was still my idol. Later that year, I got my first electric guitar for Christmas. Dad filmed in super 8 all the time, so we got to do some slow motion running here. I used to record each episode of Six Million Dollar Man and listen to them on my tape deck. The music from the show was phenomenal, and Oliver Nelson (composer) can rightfully be considered one of my earliest musical influences. Funk/rock heavy on bass lines and congas. I absorbed that music like water and it was at least 50% of the shows coolness factor for me. In the last ten years, I wrote guitar tributes to a lot of these themes, reworking them, and many were used on a podcast dedicated to the show. We must have been in Okanagan in this video. My grandma is also there. Even my Dad is wearing his leisure suit. The bionic woman (my sister) makes a later appearance trying to run up that hill. Did Steve Austin ever have to run past his mother who was sniffing laundry? I don't think so. My brother was irritating as usual. After Dad died a couple years ago, I spent a month transferring 5 hours of super 8 film to digital. Great memories!

I'm having a conversation with JP, local busker who tells me police shut him down for playing the flute. Understandable. Causing too much relaxation in the public is a serious offense. This is the crap we have to deal with as street musicians in Vancouver, Canada. I only survive through donation. Please support the channel as I make zero from youtube. 5 million views in June. Didn't make a dime.

Busking and youtube facts: 1) Street playing is not all fun and games and dancing kids. Did this for 5 years. I regularly faced not only verbal abuse, but physical assault as I worked a few blocks from downtown eastside Vancouver. I'm surrounded by addicts, drunks, and people who should be in mental homes. 2) I'm unemployed. I lost all busking work 2020 (it was banned) and received zero compensation. I had a very bad year and then had a serious brain aneurism in April 2021. I will never busk again as the stress from 5 years of busking very likely caused my aneurism. 3) I make ZERO from YouTube no matter how many views I get. I had 5 million views in June. Didn't make a dime. I am demonetized. I can't run ads, even on original content. And more importantly, even if I did, many of my videos are instantly copyrighted and auto monetized by record labels because they are COVERS. If you see an ad, it's the record label collecting. If you liked the performance, please think about supporting me on patreon/paypal tip/bandcamp as DONATION is the only way I survive. 4) I'm a musician that writes his own music for 20 years. Check out my bandcamp page to see what I can really do with a guitar. 2000 original instrumentals. 5) It's a lot of unpaid work to post these videos all the time so please try to help me keep the channel going. Many thanks to those that have supported me! It means a lot! 6) I get asked this 100 times a day so here's the answer: I play on the street and not in a band because all the clubs closed years ago due to disinterest, high rents, no profitability. I used to lead many bands from 2006 to 2018. That's all gone. It's also a lot more hassle, and less money, to run a band than play by myself. 7) I get asked this 100 times a day. "Why don't you try a better spot?" THIS is the best spot. How do I know? I've tried all of them. This spot is even better than Granville Island which is al ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5DLQYWoeK4

July 27/22. Perfect song for a summer jam. You get to see some super zombie hybrids on this one. I'm so glad I don't notice them while playing. I only notice while processing the video. Then I give out a big sigh. Jam is 40 minutes. ? Download this jam! https://thesixmilliondollarguitar.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-the-end-of-the-world-july-27-22 ?
