Tony MacAlpine - Tears of Sahara - Official Clip (High Quality)

The joy of a song rediscovered. it should be easier in today's digital world to find these gems we remember from days gone by, when the only copy we had was on cassette, or for the lucky few, mini-disc. An era before Napster and Limewire and MP3 players, when boom boxes still had a place for an oversized radio that could crank enough for a party. I lost ALL of my original recordings from the time I was 17 to 33, in a cross country move. Although my heart aches for half written song I can barely remember the melody to, until something jogs my memory, I find that I also long for those bootleg copies of a favorite band's live performance or rare unreleased track that you have never seen since. That mix tape you recorded off the radio, when chance allowed you to catch a favorite tune collected in a random order, that is still remembered today, when you expect the song that ends to roll into the one you remember always coming after it. But whatever you do, protect those recordings from the unforgiving sunlight! And it was even worse earlier than that, with Reel to Reel recordings, and splicing in a part for a solo was a matter of diagonal cuts with a razor and taping the edit in manually, with TAPE! If I had today's tech back then, I would have released more albums than Buckethead! If the kids only knew how easy they have it, as far as the tools, editing, saving, sharing, and recording, and then uploading to YouTube, to share their work almost immediately, if it can be seen and heard through the vast sea of recordings and the almighty algorithm that has taken the place of the record company management and talent scouts and large venue manager politics. But today, I find in Oct 1, 2021, a new video premiere Equilibrium and will eventually make it over to tonymacalpine.com :) It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock n roll ..

Oct 1 2017 update (crosspost with gamersparadox) .. Being productive

Oct1 Blog GamersParadox or GuitarsParadox

I'm enjoying the challenge of streaming Playerunknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) and trying to get on the leaderboards.

I'm also enjoying recording ideas on guitar in Reaper (DAW). Doodling onstream has been enjoyable.  I kind of get lost in it. 

I streamed 9 hours yesterday, 10 hours day, and will be streaming tomorrow.  I've got to stream as much as possible.  I really have no other income, and have been too sick to work for so long, and get sick everytime I go play poker.

I want to plan on some "show" streams for guitar/music, a musical journey, if you will. 

I want to stick with writing and recording music on a regular basis.  Thinking about having one day a week where I write a whole song, both lyrically, and musically.  (probably on separate days)  I've always wanted to write songs for movies and such, so it would be cool to focus on that.

I also need to CREATE content for YouTube that will help both Guitar and Games.  Along those lines, I need to keep blogging more regularly.  All of it tied together should help the "brand" get off the ground and reach more people, and retain more people!  This is what is needed to support myself from home and being happy CREATING. 

It's time to schedule my "streaming programming" for what I watch during downtime, more music videos, more learning, less "tv" as it were.

It's late, and I have lots of work to do tomorrow, so I better get to bed.  Someone prompt me to write more on these blogs :P
