I have always thought of adding a FlashBack Friday Category here
to reminisce some of the music that I have played, and I realized that there are a lot.
They are not all worthy of reminiscing but they are still my versions and they were a part of me.

Plus, I want to try to change the music interface to support multiple browsers, including mobile platforms.

So, Let’s start with a Flashback to one of my favourite covers.

My version of Eric Johnson’s
Cliffs Of Dover.

Araw ng Maynila

Today we observe Manila Day in the Philippines.
This is the town where I was born,
where there lived a man, who sails the sea.
(Any reference to a Beatles’ song about a submarine is purely coincidental.)

This picture is from my good friend, Maita.
I was supposed to post that back in the celebration of Philippine Independence,
a couple of weeks ago.
I just never got around to it.

Seems like this would be another chance for me to post it
instead of waiting another year.

and to sing it to them when they have forgotten.”

And this one from a good friend.

“The heart can only break so many times.
After that, the pieces just wouldn’t fit anymore.”

Don’t mind me.
I’m trying out this Comment integration with FB.

–Let’s try this out for a couple of days. See how it goes.
Thanks.

*UPDATE
I don’t know.
It looks dirty and clustered.
I’ll give it a couple more days.

Well.
I guess the inevitable is going to happen after all.

Song “Covers” Uploaded to YouTube Could Land You in Jail For Five Years
(Article on Gizmodo)

Since, I am a fan of Music artists,
they are my inspiration and I relate to their songs.
My covers will inevitably land me in jail.

I am not built for jail.
I am frail like a unicorn frolicking in the forest.

Now, maybe this law wouldn’t pass.
It doesn’t seem to make sense, to be honest.
But then again, I have seen more ridiculous laws that are in effect today.

Sooner or later, it will be illegal for someone to hum a song.
Or whistle.
Or think about it.

And like one guy said, someday it will be illegal for concert goers to sing along
with the artists on stage when they ask the crowd to sing with them.
Or even worse, the artists alone won’t be able to sing their own songs,
since it will be a violation of the original recording.

Is this going to be just in the United States, or worldwide?
I don’t think it would be fair for someone in another country
to have the right to cover a song while it may cause someone’s freedom in another?

That’s it.
Music and the inspiration it conveys will diminish and start to die.

It’s a crazy world we live in, people.
Crazy.
