One Song + One Mic = Substack Sessions
A new chapter for me and my #livemusic after a busy summer on stage
Start Your Day With A Song 2.0
If you followed my work in the last five years, you probably saw a couple of my YouTube videos from the ‘Start Your Day With A Song’-series. After more than 444 posted songs I stopped posting new songs there.
Now I pimped up my little music corner with stage lights, new camera, new microphone and interior design comprised of things I’ve found around the house. I hope you like it.
The original idea of recording one song with just one mic is still the foundation of my new series. I’m just equalising the frequencies and levels a bit and edit the video filters to make me look better. (chuckle)
With all the time and effort that I put into this series the posts will be weekly and not daily anymore. On my YouTube channel I had to skip several days or even weeks when I was busy performing at gigs or working on my recordings for the next single.
The new chapter is called Substack Sessions for a reason. Because I will post all the full-length songs exclusively here on Substack. Twenty to thirty second teasers on my usual socials will help promote my new musical work.
By the way, get the Substack App. The experience of the content and the conversation with my subscribers is immediate and much better. You can even listen to what I’m writing right now while getting ready for your day in the kitchen, bathroom or on your commute to or from work. At least that’s what I’m doing when I’m on the move and I want to read/listen to the latest Ted Gioia post.

I thought the appropriate first song is a Marley classic - Waiting In Vain - YouTube | Apple Music
It’s my standard song for our 30-sec-band-soundchecks since back in the days. The original recording is for me an instant switch to a mellow weekend vibe. Enjoy and stay tuned for my next song next week!
And if you like my performance of - Waiting In Vain - and you want to listen to it on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube Music, you can do so starting January 4th 2025.
Thank you very much for supporting my music, photos and stories!
Wow, it sounds great! Much better quality than before. Love it!🤩
