YouTube Views
Since my last Substack post I released following songs on my YouTube playlist ‘Start Your Day With A Song’:
Every 👍🏼 on YouTube is highly appreciated, because otherwise the YouTube algo-rhythm won't spread my videos anywhere - Thanks a bunch!
My first products from my ClickASnap Sellers Shop
After I uploaded my first photos on the ClickASnap platform I tried all the features of my sellers shop, where people can order my photos on t-shirts, acrylics, stickers and on canvas all the way to phone covers. I ordered a few items to check out the quality and I have to say - they look great!
More than 222 photos and adding daily more are also available for digital download. Check it out and let me know what you like and what’s missing. I get likes and comments and it’s getting busier by the day now. I already welcomed more than 175 Followers since I started to get serious on this platform two weeks ago. Thank you very much!
ClickASnap Picture Book
In this section I present you a picture from my ClickASnap gallery and the corresponding story.
On my way with my bike through Liechtenstein there are always great stops and encounters. This donkey mum with her teenager kid were quite curious about me and came to the fence so we could have a little chat. Main topic like with all mammals - teenager hair style. I told her she could be proud of her offspring because back in my school years my hair was, let's say... beyond. But this little donkey had such a nice haircut I had to take a snapshot. But not for his ID or passport. No, just to make you smile today, like I did when I said goodbye to them and went on to run my errands.
Spotify Song Section
Songs from my Spotify playlist ‘My Songs & Stories’
I already know this song ‘One Headlight’ by The Wallflowers since it was released back in 1996. But it took a suggestion of a friend of mine years later to add this song to my repertoire.
The excellent rhythm section is forcing you to crank this groove up and it’s really a challenge to perform this song on stage, like we did last Thursday at the Restaurant Europa in Zurich. You want to play more than you have to. Let it breathe and give it room. We had some serious fun with it!
The phrasing of the vocals seems natural but is quite tricky and when performed live the verse seems to drown in-between the instruments. So playing less is more and makes you looking forward to the chorus to blast out the lyrics with fat rocking guitar chords.
The recording of this song by Jacob Dylan and his band is superb and every band hopes to live up to that standard when they perform the song on stage. Enjoy!
