Part of my 'Golden' album recorded April 1/21. I have been recording like mad since surviving my aneurism April 2, feeling like I'm living on borrowed time. This is my tribute to 'The Night Stalker' TV show from 1974. Loved the music! Are you enjoying my daily live concerts? Please support the channel as I make zero from youtube.

Here's a hot take of the first song on the first album. Again, someone says I'm better than Mark Knopfler after playing Sultans. (I got this a lot) I attribute this mainly to the fact I played 'sultans' on the street so many times and got so good at improvising and embellishing it my own way, that many people actually preferred it to the original. Please keep your hate comments towards the woman to yourself. Everyone has a right to their opinion. Are you enjoying my daily live concerts? Please support the channel as I make zero from youtube.

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 b ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz3wdljQonU

April 14/2023. This guy could not quite remember my name. I'm sure Shatner would like the association.

Here's an extended 23 minute blues jam. Part of an 8 track release on bandcamp. Never rehearsed. One take total improvisation. Bandcamp Friday is April 2 (pacific time) and that means I get 100% of the sale instead of 90%. Please remember bandcamp audio is MUCH better than what you are hearing on this youtube video. I would like to keep doing more of these jams but keep in mind my youtube channel makes no income. I rely solely on donations through paypal, patreon, and downloading my music from bandcamp. I cannot continue to supply free content at a never ending pace of 1 to 2 videos per day, which has been keeping me from sleeping the last 3 months. I am working youtube and bandcamp 10 hours a day, recording new material, editing, posting, and responding to comments and emails. I need support. I will not be able to play outside this summer as busking is still banned, therefore, I need my loyal viewers to keep me going. My channel is demonetized. That means zero income in spite of millions of views. A positive comment is great, a donation is even better. Just think of these as live performances and if you do not need to download, you can always tip. I am also open to personalized song requests for a decent tip, so if you have a song you want to hear and have it dedicated to you or someone else, let me know. Keep in mind that learning a new song, filming, editing, is a day long process, so I cannot do this for $5. My patreon charge for this service is $100.
