Would I stoop so low as to "promote" my own music on MyLot? Why, yes I would!

Vanny and DJ have been kind enough to take some of the tunes I've recorded in my friend's garage and turn them into YouTube videos. I've been sending Vanny the music links and some pictures, and she and DJ have been handling the technical side of things, posting the "videos" to YouTube. Some are actually doing pretty well, though I worry that people are stumbling on them accidentally and only friends and family are "liking" them. Oh well. A couple are originals; a couple are not. Which one should I link? I dunno. Maybe I'll link one that's all me (through the miracle of overdubbing). I like sad songs, and Pancho and Lefty is pretty sad. It's by Townes Van Zandt. There's a silly nonsense song I'd like to share that's by a band I'm in (the song is originally by Bob Wills). Maybe I'll put a link to that in a comment, if I get any. The two originals (Moth Song and Susy) should show up if you make it to Pancho and Lefty. Feel free to like, leave loving comments, etc. And don't worry. None of us are making any money off of these. It's just fun to have some music "out there" and see what people enjoy (or not). You'll probably recognize some of the pictures we use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNCHZh5wn8I&t=75s

@pgntwo ...yeah..I did upload Pancho..:) And now both Tulsa as well as Last Train. I think Last Train from Poor Valley beats all other songs.

I liked this, good story, I also saw one that Vanny shared, I also liked that one. Good job. I remember because she was worried you would be mad that she shared it.

Townes Van Zandt is a really good songwriter. I first heard this one on an Emmylou Harris album in my childhood days. It stuck with me.

Heh. Thanks! I tend to like sad songs. But the Bob Wills tune is just silly and fun. Plus I got to use a lot of my chicken and cow photos for that one.

I would love to hear your music and it would be wonderful if you earned some money, but all I could find was Crowel singing the song. Do I look for the horse?

@teenspirit It's easy to play and records really well. And it stays in tune! Many guitars don't.

It's interesting that you have a brain that doesn't (usually) respond to music. I'd be lost without music.
