Is John Watt the most exciting general rock guitarist in Magle.dk? I think so.

[John Watt]

That DuMaurier ticket has a $17 price on it, so let me explain.
When I saw McCoy Tyner, Juni Booth was playing bass, the Atlantis tour.
I recognized Juni in a St. Catharines bar when no-one else did,
and visited him a few times, early nineties.
He surprised me by phoning me many years later,
saying he was visiting his mother in Buffalo, and needed a ride to the festival.
He said if I could get him there, he would sign me in and I'd be hanging out with him.

I visited a woman I know, who knew deep tissue massage, a St. John Ambulance person,
and she lent me her new Pontiac, and picking Juni up and driving for over an hour was, uh, musical.
Pharoah Saunders, the owner of the Mercedes limo, and his friends, yeah, exceptional musicians.
I came away circular breathing. And I was asked to jam at the executive lounge, twice.
Too bad I had to sit, and play a right-handed guitar upside-down.
I didn't think I'd get to play, considering who was there with their guitars,
but I had my pick in my pocket, and my pick of guitars. Beautiful guitars.

It wasn't easy, trying to build my own lefties when other non-Fender manufacture began.
B.C. Rich, you can see it, DiMarzio, saying I posed the strangest question, in six months,
and Altec, yeah, manufacturing my idea first before letting me have my custom order.
I already ordered custom S.R.O. speakers from Michigan, 25 pound magnets in each.
They sounded better sitting on the floor with wires, than any Marshall or Fender cabinet.
In 1977, $325 each. I made the cabinets myself according to specs.
That's quarter inch illuminated sign plastic, as a front sound board,
and the white trim is scrap from the new Toronto airport,
the sheets used on the floor, lighting up to show the way for baggage and transports.
No matter what the lighting, these cabinets are glowing in the dark first.
I put the tweeter on for decoration, and yes, when it was a debate back then,
I liked Hammond organ and synth players who took the backs off,
so you could see all the wiring and watch what was going on.
I know how to wire my guitar into a Leslie, owning the biggest one they made.
You can see a photo of that inside the double album, "Electric Ladyland".

Here we are, Magle.dk viewers, 4/22/2017, taking this photo tonight,
giving the guitars a rest, before I'm back at it tomorrow.
This is the first and only photo I have of these two guitars together, big for me tonight.
Even though I have my original pickups, in a way, I have too many, playing with parts.
I like making parts. When I'm building a guitar, I don't care if I'm in a band.
And this will be the first time I've owned two lefties.
This means I've got to build another guitar case.
Lots of strings to put on, plug it in, take them off, change something, and put new ones on.
Lots of batteries too, to see how it works with the effects.

I hope the organ players here don't get too excited with this glamour bedroom photo.
That's not the pixel pattern update for degrading Maxillstoppen circuit boards,
and my bed, while wild and wooley, isn't grounded for expert applications.
You can see we had a mild winter. Even the leaves didn't turn green.

 

[John Watt]

JHC! Here I am, busy editing and saving and posting away,
and you snuck one in on me.
You would be appalled if you knew the problems coming down on me,
this afternoon, and all week. I've been staying in, yes, finally working on my guitars,
but that's because I replaced tools and parts stolen before,
and going outside, being a target, and leaving my apartment empty, ready to rob.

The Liberal office of Member of Parliament Vance Badawey,
advised me Tuesday, after the holiday,
that who they were talking with, and what they were hearing from other people,
means I should leave Welland for my own safety.
I just said it's not an election year, and now they know what my life is like in Welland.

It is good to see you, when I'm confining myself to my own threads,
seeing my name too much all over, seeing it too much.

Wonder what I started singing as the grill heated up for some popcorn?
"the world is still turning, the fires are still burning,
while all the water is swirling, while they flush my life away.
I feel all the hurting, I know I'm not deserving, because it's true,
they can take all my music away, so only my heart, is left to play".
guitar solo
oh, I still got it, hearing that everywhere I go, now wearing mittens,
and building finger endurance.

 

[John Watt]

Thank you, the as-yet-untitled Frederik Magle, and your admins and worthy members,
allowing me a home away from home, where all my font may roam.
I phoned the Danish embassy in Toronto years ago, so I could properly say your name,
and now, I'm going to write them a letter to tell them how deserving you are.
I'm having professional printing, from the historic MacKenzie House, now the Printery,
identified as such, from Queenston Heights, now becoming the historical archives of Canada.
The green, of earthly growth, and the yellow, the colour of the sun, my mothers' Royal Buchanan,
will say,
Master John Alexander Hay Watt,
known to be a Prince of Scotland.

That's the best I can do, from these overseas lowlands, and it's getting lower all the time.
You would be surprised to know, that even walking the streets and being in businesses in Welland,
people will approach me to say they were in Denmark, describing a horrible society,
or truly depraved gigs, ridiculing what I put up here, when I don't even know them or their names.
I don't care. I know how I feel when I'm here, and how your music moves me, the light and dark.
A post office employee in Welland stole the money order I was mailing to buy one of your CDs.
It was "Like a Flame", and I sent $75, enough for four CDs,
saying keep the change for all the truly gracious time I've spent here.
And I really wanted your autograph. You made me a ragnarocker.
No beard or long hair now, just the only recent photo of me, displaying Royal Buchanan.
Pure red squares denote being of the blood, and the crossed white lines are being of the light.
And the Gaelic spelling of water is watter. Even the Niagara River and Niagara Falls knows that.

"standing here alone, the northern rain always cools.
I need it, to whet my heart, so my mind,
like a late white floe over summers' Niagara,
may shine in radiant splendour,
before the final Falls".

 

[John Watt]

It's too late, too late, on a Saturday night, but everyone wants to keep dancing.
You can hear requests for classic rock, some Deep Purple, some dude saying Frederik Magles' "Like a Flame",
but the front man turns to me and says John, can you get into some Careless Whispers...
I'm singing so quietly, no warm water, no warm-ups at all, just getting my freak on.
What's starting to get to me here,
is seeing Jimi Hendrixs' Experience trying to phase in, in and out of focus,
and at the end, when I'm trying to beat some echoed phasing and flanging out of it,
Jimi even starts bulging at me, as if to take it and play...
and that's going to happen, if I ever get my semi-solid-body finished and plugged in
He was hovering around the shop in Port Colborne, as I watter-cast my Stratocaster neck at him.
yeah, this is just acoustic.
There's only one recording with the video, of Jimi sitting while he plays, his only acoustic, a twelve-string.
Jimi was so tight, everything he did was a message.

https://youtu.be/2g-W6GlhRKY

 

[John Watt]

Some girls are saying play a slow song, and someone is saying play some blues.
This is one of the first songs I jammed onstage, for an Atlas Hotel matinee.
This is also another failed attempt at embedding, my real blues tonight.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myLYvvFaWXo

 

[JHC]

Here is a slow song John notice she is using the Reinhardt fingering which as you know is not easy, and the right hand technique is very impressive don't you think

 

[John Watt]

I've been singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" as long as I can sing.
Now, I've been working on a new musical adaptation, combining it with "Little Wing" and "Angel",
more about using Jimi Hendrix style sounds, with left-handed upside-down chords.

Seeing these two musicians doing it with "Wonderful World", is beautiful, to listen and watch.

What you are saying about the "Reinhart fingering" is a new term for me, but I'm watching it.
Here's the difference from what I do, with the bass on the bottom.
First of all, I have a finger rest on my guitars, for you, like Fender used to have on jazz basses.
The Art & Lutherie Ami parlour guitar I'm using, so far, has a raised plastic circle around the soundhole,
looking like a typical inlay pattern, but glued on the surface, more finger rest than I need.

This means my middle finger is going to hit the guitar more than trying not to,
so every pick action can be a beat on the guitar.
If I let that finger be floppy, the next two fingers hit, more like percussion, following the beat.
On an electric guitar that's sensitive from feedback, those can be more pronounced.
They just aren't desirable as rock, jazz or classical sounds.
If I'm not trying to beat the guitar at all, of course, my string playing gets more precise and complicated.

This overall approach to being a one-man band is perfect for buskers,
and I'm seeing this couple that way.
I was wondering what the man was going to do, with his uke on his lap, wonderful leads.
I'm still wondering what these two can really be capable of,
using the Gibson and other large scale acoustic guitars sitting behind them.
Yes, they certainly know how to tease.
I'm feeling like tossing some coins their way.

For me, after a lifetime of listening, playing "Misty" and "Somewhere Over The Rainbow",
are two of the most wonderful back-to-back slow songs to play.
I change the lyrics, seeing some "Rainbow" verses as weak, too vaudeville,
and I see the traditional turn-around at the end of "Misty" verses as being what sounds oldies,
so I change that too, but,
when you are in Niagara Falls, where there always is a rainbow, where there always is the mist,
you have to be that, what can be pale and faded, when the rainbow is weak,
or the mist can be the new mist, blowing sideways because of the wall of highrises.
Now, businesses along the Parkway, downwind, can be boarded up as if a hurricane was coming.
And when you think of all the electricity that rainbow and that mist is associated with,
the power and American glory, you have to be powerful, with lots of electronic effects.
What else can I say, except here, it is also about being there night and day,
the light and the darkness, never-ending, with an option of eternal ionization.

"When all the world is a hopeless jumble, when you are caught in a world wide web,
and the raindrops tumble all around, with a rainblow that soaks you through to the bone,
heaven opens a magic lane, Americans continue to drain,
When all the clouds darken up the skyway, as the wild winds of global warming,
there's a rainbow highway to be found. roar down the information highway.
Leading from your window pane, seeing it inside your screen,
to a place behind the sun, to the dark side of the sun,
just a step beyond the rain. Jacobs' ladder is here again,
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, somewhere there was a rainbow, now you're high,
there's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. there's that land over the border, with their new security.
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue, somewhere over their rainbow, ozone holes came true,
and the dreams that you dare to dream, and the American dream that rolls over you,
really do come true. there's nothing you can do.
Some day I'll wish upon a star, I can't avoid seeing all their stars,
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me. and the rain of ashes that hide the clouds,
Where troubles melt like lemon drops, narcotics are called names like angel dust,
away above the chimney tops, incendiaries spread like bomblet drops,
that's where you'll find me. no, I don't want you to find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Somewhere, over the rainbow, no birds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow, birds fly down at the bottom,
why then, oh why can't I? now you can walk there if you try.
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow. If predatory eagles fly over our rainbow.
Why, oh, why can't I? Their drones are the reason why.

Somewhere, Noah is watching, remembering the bow,
the weapon, his god had promised, never to aim at us below.
And on my own, I could wander through His wonderland alone,
and get misted, whenever I'm there....

 

[John Watt]

Long ago, I was asked by a jazz graduate,
to start a new wave band with him,
we started out, playing in Niagara Falls,
and the Review printed this about us.

Someday, if I ever get back again,
up on a Niagara Falls stage,
when the water is getting lower, just as I am,
playing and singing in my old age.

Sometimes, even general rock guitarists,
can generate some news,
and like my tartans, I watch the thread count,
to find out how many, adding up all the views.




The "Trouble Clef" that played the Ritz Hotel, in Port Colborne,
was a completely different band, years later, except for me.
That was more about using up old stationary.

This young reporter was more about having a good time,
than writing down any interviews. We all had a good time.
I never said sabbatical, she just couldn't print my Welland mayoral campaign.
Tom Zimmer is the son of a Welland City councilman.
The bassist, having fun, I said was an executive, no, he wasn't.
Mike Smith, the drummer, was Neil Peart's cousin and employee of his wife,
who managed a Sam the Record Man in Welland. He worked hard, but didn't like new wave.
She's talking about my Redmere Soloist, made in Scotland, 1977, $2,750.
The speakers I used as separate cabinets, custom Electro-Voice S.R.O.,
twenty-five pound magnets in each, $325 each.
Doug Mundy, the keyboard Sheridan Jazz graduate, went on to play as a jazz pianist.
This huge hotel, very old, was torn down, on the Niagara Parkway beside the gorge.
With the bassist playing an "upside-down" Fender bass,
this is the only time I took the bass from the bassist to play one song,
"Stepping Out", by Joe Jackson, a song the keyboardist wanted to play.
The bassist was happy to take a break and get a beer.

 

[John Watt]

After posting this thread, after putting up "Careless Whispers",
two major live entertainment companies with monthly music newspapers,
have added themselves as YouTube subscribers,
and are encouraging me as saying "good work".
That's what I'm working for.
Also, this is Welland I'm still living in.
I put a $5 down payment on an acoustic guitar in a Christian benefit shop,
but the manager found it necessary to sell it to someone else.
When I phoned a Port Colborne, ex-Welland mailman, to say I would buy his Kustom amp,
he said someone showed up at his door and offered him more money for it,
so he sold it.
There was a time, when I was making signs, that a criminal would show up,
and say, why is John Watt making your sign.
If you asked us, you could get it for free.
Jus'sayin'.

 

[John Watt]

The influence of Soren, of TINKICKER, has been more than you might imagine,
if you haven't been listening to one of their CDs, or sharing some personal email.

He was telling me, that for their newest music, they had a big choir to record.
Unfortunately, when it happened, it was only one day, no previous rehearsals,
and he said he wasn't sure it there was anything they could use.

That's why I was singing with my little choir boy voice at the end,
going ah, instead of oo, doo, dee, bee, or la, even some la-lahs or tra-la-las.
And you're lucky I didn't click the wang-dang doodle, all night long.
That's a new function I had to buy to get some general hip-hop content.
I'm still learning to "Jump" wit'it, even if I've jumped in a lot, just not lately.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G6a6bIrmg8

 

[John Watt]

Without turning everything I'm typing into a continuation of the link,
here's a new posting, because The Pointer Sisters have pointed the way,
making me feel a little jumpy already.
However, I have to admit, I was feeling a little presto towards the end, twice.
For this video, let me say,
a Jamaican group getting together with music and dance can be called a "jump-up".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyTVyCp7xrw

 

[John Watt]

Yes, being a general rock guitarist in the Niagara Peninsula got confused some times.
Here we were, getting Buffalo and Detroit TV as much as anything Toronto, or Montreal.
My parents bought me my own first musical instrument, a harmonica when I was in grade three,
because I saw Little Stevie Wonder on TV.
The guitarist for The Wicked Wilson Pickett showed me the chords to a song,
after a concert at my high school.
And that's a confusion about watching a lot of legs singing and dancing,
and for me in Welland, that also meant watching them from the orchestra pit.

There I was, after being confined, acid over-dosed, and fed drugs for over two months,
kept in a one-door closet in another city, my parents not knowing what was happening.
When I came back, I was incapable of painting artwork, playing guitar, or working anywhere,
very sick, still feeling what felt like sand crawling around my arms, lasting almost six months.
Hey, that's just Welland for you.
When I went back for grade twelve, I played in the pit band for "Hello Dolly".
I'd go early with my Stratcaster and Marshall, with effects,
and set up on the stage, to make some noise, other students hanging around, until the rehearsal started.
I did that for "Bye Bye Birdie" the next year.
When I was writing for the local newspaper, years later, I wrote about another Centennial stage show.

It was more than just nice, looking through what my mother saved for me.
She put the dates on them, and it brought back memories.
Kathy Kelly was a stage name for this high school student, who became a professional ballerina.
She went out with a flute player friend of mine, and lived out in the country, a nice place to visit.

Sometimes, a general rock guitarist can only do what has to be undone,
before you can get it going again, to start getting around for fun, and the funny money.

 

[John Watt]

Yes, initially, just JHC, but then a comprehension of more of what I could be,
doing here, not just typing, but finding a new voice, a new voice for me.
I never used a recording device to create a product, turning down free ones,
as newer ones provided more channels, more effects, and got a lot louder.
How'd you like that quick presto, from line one to line two, just for you?

This video has a failure, the light I used not bright enough,
when I was talking at first, showing around my artwork and guitar build.
"careless seconds", is my second attempt at "Careless Whispers", as a fast song.
George Michael sang it in Dm, I'm up in Em, more about bass strings on the bottom chords.
These careless photos illuminate some of that background.

I'm singing so quietly, playing a small-scale acoustic, a parlour guitar, oh, forgive me,
forgive me magle.dk viewers, and listeners, for such a dim and done performance.
Jamming with a video camera is more entertaining for me... even if it's only done... carelessly...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd67XFQtGhA&feature=youtu.be

 

[John Watt]

... a slight reprise, a little presto-digital, a little late night magic-tragic comedy...

It's wasn't exactly backstage, more like offline, as I was thinking about .... oooh... oh, it's you,
you're back... can I call you Frederik, even if I didn't call you... yes... yes...
you're right... even if I can't determine the time signature, I should tell the time,
"careless seconds" is over 7 minutes long.
You know Frederik, I was thinking of calling my next video e-lement,
because I'm finally feeling it with my new camera, being in my element... no? .... no?
Oh! You're leaving me. You're starting to rise high up in my headroom, these tall ceilings...
yes... yes... I can hear, those violins and trumpets, with all those pixel vixens...
are calling your name... oh... oh... I can feel it... the darkness around you...
yes... you are in your e-lament... as I sing your name...

 

[John Watt]

When you're changing your electronic effects, especially as a general rock guitarist,
it changes your sound, it changes the way you play, and how you play changes you.
That's what puts my head through, sounding different, playing different, being different.
Of course, if you're sounding country, you're getting into the country gigs.
I just found out,
that if you start jamming with electronic devices, like this tiny little digital camera,
technology reaches out to jam with you, even if it's just some words and notes on paper.
But look at this book, a major find.
Just when I'm in someone elses' e-lament, the most famous ones come my way.
Every general rock guitarist knows, that "easy piano" is still hard for a six string guitar.
This is a wonderful Warner Brothers Publication, all huge hits from huge hit movies.
As a general rock guitarist, my first thought was, huh,
I betcha "The Batman Theme" was Danny Elfmans' first big hit, now a soundtrack composer.
He even got his wife Jenna a starring role in a big hit TV series comedy.
But then the wannabe jazz vocalist in me came out, looking at favorite songs,
because I was seeing so many, going back to songs I sang with my mother,
around the house, and outside at picnics, or after watching a movie at the show.
It was too easy, seeing "If I Only Had a Brain", and thinking that's a natural for me.

Ray Bolger was the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, and while I was born in Crowland,
it's more about the fact that he was a "loose" dancer, having a very floppy style.
Any foot of his would have been floppy on a wah-wah pedal, that's for sure.
And no matter how floppy he looked, he was known as having the highest jump in dance,
an old vaudeville performer brought in to enliven the entire production. "enliven", yeah...
That song is a natural, floppy without getting flippy, as a raggae rhythm.
But then it hit, how to play the hits, especially as a general rock guitarist.
You could be filling in, someone showing you their set list, saying what do you know?
I could say yeah, let's do scarecrow as far as we can go,
and then keep it going with "Singing in the Rain".
Gene Kelly was too classy cute as a dancer, but here he's dancing outside on the street,
when he was singing "Singing in the Rain", and he used a prop, a big umbrella,
something Fred Astaire was showing him, and that could be a guitar or mike stand.
Somehow, the theme from "Jurassic Park" and "The Bugs Bunny Show" don't go together.
"If a Were a Rich Man", "New York New York", and "The Jetsons Main Theme", go together.
"America the Beautiful", "We Are the World", and "God Bless the U.S.A.", oh yeah!
"Butterfly Kisses" rest lightly on "Hedwig's Theme", from "Hedwig and the Angry Inch".

When I start trying to sing these songs out loud, songs that are so deeply ingrained,
I'll be getting closer to being a jazz vocalist, and still be able to say I'm untrained.
Not royalty free, but cross-border dropping... oh no... "We're Off to See the Wizard".
Scanning this book, as new, $2, wasn't easy for general rock "Easy Wizard Pro" technology.



Authorizations, credentials, registrations, first payments, have all been established.
My own music domain, "gigsters.ca" can be server designated with an active build,
right now, not that it will ever be a stereo reflection of magle.dk, even if I want it to be.
This techno jam might be jamming me up with new user fees,
but as everyone who has ever visited here knows, I really, really like typing about me.
Cue: "When Johnny Comes Marching Home", followed by "Because You Love Me",
with special guest Krummhorn doing "You're Still the One", and "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love".

All rise! Having classical aspirations that never expired, have helped me become like Mozart.
This posting was typed and illustrated as published, perfectly, right from the start.
EDITOR! EDITOR! Where's my make-up? And I wanted the blue wig!

 

[John Watt]

This one minute, thirty-nine second video, is a sanding demonstration,
showing you how to sand a semi-solid-body guitar.

The "Farmer's Market, Very Berry", muffin six-pack,
with a choice of raspberry jam or orange marmalade, to put on them,
the "Decadent Chocolate Chunk" bag of cookies, that could be dipped in maple syrup,
from a can, coming from Quebec, or local, unpasteurized buckwheat honey,
and the two liter bottle of Diet Faygo, didn't make the cut here,
even if this energy food is important for manufacture.

I stress, without wanting to put any on you,
especially if you are another general rock guitarist, or general musician,
that this is the first time in the history of musical instruments,
you are seeing semi-solid-body guitars being worked on,
when no-one else has ever witnessed this.

This is not a break-and-sender video, just a little late-night badness.
Two hundred watt light bulbs aren't doing it, next time, a flood-light.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXlUS_KQ3pY&feature=youtu.be

 

[John Watt]

Are you looking, can you see this? That's good.
Anyone can see these public You Tube videos.
And I'm more than confident, as a long-time member,
that Magle.dk viewers will enjoy the actual sanding reality,
not what American automotive manufacturers, want you to believe.
And that includes American guitar companies that used left-over,
world war two electronics, metal plates and amplifier parts,
such as Fender Corporation, one of the biggest and most popular.

What does it take, to get those exquisite tonal qualities, like violins and violas,
instruments that are in similar size to semi-solid-body guitars?
The debates and searches for varnishes, glues, wood, everything it takes,
are extended further by electronics, so body surface and resonance is more defined.

180 is said to be the grit where, for automotive finishes, human eyes can't see.
Beyond Norton 3X sandpaper, I have "GatorGrit", made in Finland.
50 emery cloth, 220-b, 600-b and 1500-b, waterproof sandpapers,
are working up to Bondex Pumice Powder, for a semi-gloss effect on lacquer and varnish,
and then Bondex "Rottenstone" pumice powder, for a gloss effect on lacquer and varnish.
Those are Canadian made from extinct Canadian volcanoes.

The finer the finish, inside and out, the finer the acoustic resonance,
and my confidence in a build as best as I can build it.
This also takes into account any static buildup from electronics,
to rapid arm movements, and my own momentary, heavy static discharge.

This Weller manufacturing soldering gun, as new, is a 1949 wedding gift for my father,
and was manufactured in Kingston, Ontario.
The Kester solder, a buy and sell shop antique find, was made in Brantford, Ontario.
Not energy food, but for balance and muscle ligature accuracy and endurance,
the Cod Liver Oil from Norway is a must, because there is none Canadian made.

This "hemi-demi-sanding" illustration should illustrate all of this.
And as a general rock guitarist with symphonic virtuoso aspirations,
all this rubbing, working up a mild state of physical excitement as I hold it, up and down,
getting finer and finer with the grit and then the pumice powders,
interior and exterior,
allows a deep, very deep, extension of your musical mind and creative energy,
the only way to feel that kind of confidence, as you play the finished instrument.
The first semi-solid-body, the fifth body experiment, could have been more hollow,
getting closer to a violin density, so the deeper routing around the pickups,
makes this an extension of that, as I wonder if any bracing will focus harmonic release.

 

[John Watt]

Shhh! It's not here, but read this quietly to yourself, and don't tell anyone.
The reality of semi-solid-body acoustics does require more than wood resonance.
It also requires less than violin and viola, even violextendo, wood resonance,
or it would feed back too much.
That's why the center section of the body is not bent wood.
That's also why it is entirely lined with aluminum, an acoustic reflector with no absorption.
This interior "balloon" of aluminum is the first and biggest ground soak of its kind.
It represents far more electronic presence that feed-backing amplifiers can see.
Standing with your back to your amplifier, holding the guitar out a little to the side,
with various amounts of "showing" the guitar, not just flat, thin, pick-guard aluminum sheets,
gives you far greater amounts of controllable and desired feedback sounds.
Offshore Stratocasters have only aluminum foil around the volume and tone pots.

General rock guitarists call that the noise, and now, it can be called... uh, it can be called,
not only a hyper extension of harmonic generation, or a new communication with feedback,
but... but... yeah... what can it be called?
It's got to be something with watt in it, just for me.
The Gaelic spelling of water is watter, maybe I'm wattering your electronics up,
especially if how it sounds and the music it allows, makes you cry.
I get a little string teary about it myself, just thinking about it.

 

[John Watt]

Jamming with my tiny little camera is linking me to the technological world in new ways,
not like getting feedback, but sensing the tech, sensing through this screen,
to your online reality, what your offline is inputting, while I'm sensing it.
A request? Do another one? For sure, I'm getting that little acoustic out right now.
oh... I know... hitting a steady 4/4 beat, working a steady 4/4 bass, I'll do it,
if that's what this gig has become, but I'm thinking of a new song...
one that is soon to become... how about "Harden My Heart"?
All of my videos are just jamming, and this sounds like a good one.
Anyone into gambling might want to bet on if I remember any words.
Now, not jus'sayin', jus'playin'.

Medic! Medic! No, Edit! Edit!... oh no, it's too late, he's uploaded, he's gone...
MEDICAL ALERT! Trying to sing too quietly to this song can cause hardening of your heart.
3:53 Did I sing an A above high C, or was that an A octave above high C?
Once you get into imitating humpback whales and marine mammal and shore sounds,
it all gets to be high seas. You can be a high see too.

stand back, our attempt at resuscitation is mildly effective,
even if plugging in a guitar and turning up the electricity would be the best...
...for Shure, any SM58 would have brought him all the way back.

hardening heart can result in epic edit failure for yours, if you have to watch it,
kinda like looking around backstage after the gig, to see any victims...
lost without any effects, echo, reverb, phasing, flanging and panning, as caregivers...
