WATCH how SHE reacts when I say "You look fine!" (Join my membership to see the 2 hour jam)
Sept 7/23. These girls were handing out free junk food. I noticed she was doing her makeup. I walked over to her and commented. Watch her reaction. I took a couple of these 'sandwiches'. Tasted like you'd expect. A whoopee cushion that was sat on my Andre the Giant after 20 beers with pizza. This is a preview of a two hour jam called ‘Chillout’, only available for viewing on my youtube membership. ($8.99 a month) I will be uploading all my extended jams to a paid level now as they don't get many views on youtube. This level will be for fans who enjoy the music therapy these jams provide and there will be hundreds of extended street and home jams for viewing. (Currently around 600 in my backlog dating back 4 years) This was my last day of busking in 2023. I had quite a few people stop to listen or talk to me. I always finish a season with something massive. You can download the pro audio from the bandcamp link below.

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) I had a very bad year and then had a serious brain aneurism in April 2021 where I almost died.
3) 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 writing my own songs for 20 years. Check out my bandcamp page for 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 all tourists. Vancouver does not have many spots to play. Maybe 3-4 downtown. I have to go where traffic is heaviest or you make no money. Playing on beaches and parks or near homes, condos, apt buildings, is forbidden. This is the main transit hub of trains/seabus and also walkway for the convention center as well as heavily touristed gastown.
8) I'm playing a Parker fly guitar, limited '4 seasons' edition 'Autumn', from 2008. Only 25 exist of this model. Very light at 5 lbs, very versatile tones with piezo pickups, carbon fibre body, stainless steel frets never wear out. Company is out of business. My pe

4k test of my new go pro 7 at 10:45 am. Will be doing all future nature and guitar videos in 4k which will allow better zooms without loss of quality. I got this camera mainly for the image stabilization as I was sick of my hero 4 bouncing all over the place.

Abbotsford center, B.C, Canada. July 15/2018.
Duelling guitar solos with his son.
Fogerty to me has always been about the voice. Unfortunately, the grit and deep growl of CCR days is long gone. He can barely sing fortunate son anymore or hit any high notes. But hey, the guy is 73 so we will cut him some slack. To compensate, John’s guitar tone and improv chops have actually been getting better over the years. His tone is now much better than it was in 1970. Hanging out with Billy Gibbons must be helping. He played a lot of tasty solos. I remember seeing him in 1986 and his sound was just awful, like a heavy metal pedal run through a cheap solid-state amp.
Those ancient Les Paul’s certainly help. He even did some Van Halen style tapping as an intro. Good to see a 73 year old legend who is not getting lazy. Seriously, who else is around today who can still talk about their appearance at Woodstock almost fifty years ago? When he showed actual Woodstock footage and talked about how he wrote ‘who will stop the rain’ after doing that concert, it was quite a moving moment. Due to the improvised jams on a lot of the songs, they actually sounded better than the originals, but not vocally.
My only negative is that he brought out a second, very unfortunate son, to sing really badly on a couple songs. We thought this guy was stoned out of his mind the way he was staring wide eyed at the audience while trying to dance, also badly.
Spinal tap moment at end of song 4:40 when his other son brains himself on the mic stand while walking offstage.

Get this a lot lately. People who don't think I'm playing. Imagine their reaction to youtube videos where some 12 year old plays Giant steps at 500 bpm. What I'm doing is not black magic. It's just guitar playing, and not even technical guitar playing. The thumbnail shows the street guy from last year who said "You're not doing that!". This is his wife.

This was fun jam. I made $35 in 4 hours this day, my first time out since Sept 2019. Help make up for the apathy and leave me a tip! That woman walking past on her phone is typical of 99% of my audience. There is no fighting it. I am almost finished posting video's from this first show. I have about 20 more since this one to go!
99% of my audience is on their phone as they walk past. Disagree? Support on links below.

It's not all doom and gloom and verbal abuse. Sometimes I meet people who actually hear me, and appreciate what I'm doing. This is volume 1.

Yes, I have metal in my brain. Titanium clip was attached during my aneurism operation to make me bionic. This track is from my album 'Shatnershairpiece strikes back' and it was my first recordings after a one month recovery from an aneurism April 1.
