Birthday of Elvis and his song Treat Me Nice is in the middle of the Music Change

January 8, 2016

Today is the birthday of Elvis Presley and he is still relevant to music. His song Treat Me Nice, is leading the Texas Video Showdown a video challenge of a music industry that is down to 5 pop stars. Vote – go to the link and vote thumbs up. Join a thousand others.

People should know that one indie musician, representing all musicians except a few pop stars, has challenged the 5+ pop stars to the Texas Video Showdown, and Swift, Perry, Beyonce, Bieber, 1D, etc. even with all their fans, are loosing so far. Readers that want a big music change – please vote for the thousands of good musicians that are not one of the five or so sound alike pop stars. if you know a great musician, they are probably out of the music business no matter how good they are.

The indie musician, Hunkasaurus, has purposely made the worst video ever – he didn’t even comb his hair – with simple solid fun music to challenge the over produced generic corporate music of the sound alike pop stars. Help him by voting thumbs up on youtube.

Can’t Help Falling in Love (some good versions)

November 28, 2015

Start with a great song, Can’t Help Falling In Love.
Then add the great versions.

Here are my favorites:
Elvis – he made the hit, and a great classic.
UB40 – updated the sound and speeded it up.
A-Teens – gave it a fun fast pop sound.

Here’s my version in the back to basics, postism styel – very very simple

Just Posted a Youtube Video – Treat Me Nice

April 21, 2015

Musea Readers,

Last Sunday, I posted a new video on youtube – a rough raw live version of Treat Me Nice – one of my ‘show off’ songs, that I did in the Box Office. I call it a ‘show off’ song because it’s fast, uptempo and ‘has a good beat’.

For those who would like to hear the studio version:

The answer to, and winner (if any) for, our last contest question of:
What did Elvis keep in the attic of Graceland? Clue, it’s kinda creepy on a stormy night.

According to Lisa Marie, “I took a couple of steps forward and found the light switch. The yellow bulb lit a long line of clothing racks. there were all Gladys’s clothes. Elvis had saved everything. All her precious belongings were here. I could feel her spirit.”
I had no correct eligible answers. Seems y’all’s light didn’t come on on this one. I don’t dumb down/so please wise up.
