Steemit Openmic week 51 -- "Summertime," (Original Music by @thedamus)
Hi all!
[Please disregard week #48 info, it has taken me 3 weeks to figure out how to post a video lol, also, i don't know how to post a link to comments...]
Some things i'm good at... and some things i'm not. One of the things i'm terrible at is figuring out how to fucking get a boost on my posts! Everytime i have tried i have either been logged out completely, or just mished and mashed around until i finally gave up and smoked a joint or something...
Anyway, i have plans and good intentions! Lol
I'm working on it. As well as working on taking off the meatscarf -- i am a fat fuck right now!
Phil @phelimint is providing some encouragement, and if you haven't already heard, he's training for a marathon for next May!
Holy crap! That's huge!!! (And Phil, now the cats outta' the bag so you better grease up those Adidas shorts!)
Anyway, the point here is that i have plans... i just re-aquainted with my youtube account from 4 years ago and managed to upload a video from my iPhone. I'm going to try and post it in a sec, but i'm such an imbecile i literally wrote down the code in ink and i am going to try and enter it manually below.
I really don't know What-the-fuck-i'm-doing -- my home computer is shit, and all the copy paste bs on my iPhone still elludes my ultimate control.
If the following doesn't work (i'm entering url manually) please, if you're interested, find my original song on youtube.
The post is: "Summertime" original song by thedamus
Okay... lets see what happens:
I hope this works! I'm pretty happy with this song, although video was shot the morning after the Mayweather fight so i was a little woolier than usual, and it had been months since i had had the Larivee out. i recorded this song a couple weeks ago with high ambitions i would be able to enter openmic 48 (or whatever), and now it's up to 50 or something -- ah hell, just give a listen! I'll figure this stuff all out in due course.
I hope this works and i hope you enjoy!
And my stacker buddies like a lil geetar
And all my cad peeps like the Can-con
Cheers! from @thedamus
Holy Shit! It fucking worked!!!
Okay, i'm on the learning curve again. And good timing too, 'cause things are a brewing!
✨✨✨🤘😎✨✨✨
Dude, how man talents you got? I thought it was good picture size was a little small. 🎙🎸🎤 hell I say go for it.
Thanks Ray! Phil told me about turning phone sideways for vids -- so any others i may post will at least be full frame...
I have several other songs i may get around to posting one day. Truth be told, the morning i recorded this song was the first time i had had my guitar in my hands in months and months, and was singing through the fog of a big night out at the Beagle 😜
Anyway, thx for support 😎👍
I like the way the sun shine's off the sea
And I like you and me
<3
Thanks girlfriend!
That's awesome man. I like the song and looks like your phone skills are improving. Copy-paste isn't too bad you should just be able to hold you finger down till a submenu pops up, then select copy or paste. Man your the crypto expert if you can master that you got copy/paste.
Now you gotta turn your phone sideways, when recording the vidoe, that's the one thing all the youtube expert harped at me every single week when i started my channel...lol. Including Mr GoldenArms. He's a big sideway tyrant, but he's a lot softer over here on steemit then his YouTube days.
Lastly thanks for the marathon shout out. The plan was to put it out there and commit too it, but now i'm feeling a bit nervous, but that's probably a good thing.
Hey yo! Great advice re: turning phone sideways -- ah, the simple things!
I have been able to "hold down" and copy/paste etc, it's the "permissions" i'm having trouble with (which one do i use for the upgoat/booster bots?... and the memo -- i mean it! I am a fucking imbecile! And i'm lazy! I don't want to have to meticulously copy the long string of code everytime.
I think i'm getting there... one day i will do it right and then, look out! I'm going to pimp my ride so hard GA is gonna' be riding shotgun flipping out sbd like it's confetti!
Cheers Phil! Good luck with your training... i'm right behind you -- sitting at the burger bar with a cold one, cheering on your efforts lol

Almost missed your post. To prevent that from happening in the future please follow the rules. Thanks.
Hope to hear more from you.
Thanks @luzypher!
I will revisit rules and bear in mind for next post -- it was all my poor pea brain could handle to actually get this vid posted...
but practice makes the master!
Cheers! from @thedamus
🤘😎
Man that rocks🤘. I'm falling behind on my life goal of learning to play guitar.
Cheers Ed! I'm glad you like 🤘😁
...it's never too late unless you don't start today
That's an awesome song, great playing and love that guitar too it sounds great! Never heard of Larrivee before, just looked it up and was surprised to learn that it's a Canadian company. Now I'm curious, gonna have to try one on the next visit to the music shop... Keep up the good work ✌️
Cheers philodendron!
Jean Larivee started in Montreal, before moving to Victoria, then Vancouver, and now they've moved the shop to Oxnard, California.
I visited factory when it was still here in Van and had one of my "Best guitar days ever" seeing how they were made.
Since then i had always wanted a Larrivee that was made in Vancouver. I got lucky with the one in video. I bought it (second hand) in immaculate condition and inside it says "handcrafted in Vancouver British Columbia" among the other specs. I adore this guitar! It also has onboard p/ups so i can plug in. What i like is that there are no knobs, sliders, or anything cut in or sticking out. I am going to do a post about my gal soon... keep an eye out for it.
Cheers! from @thedamus
Very cool! Can't wait to hear more about your gal! I have an electric(gibson)and a classical (lapatrie made in Quebec) and have been looking for an acoustic for awhile, it would be nice to have one made in Canada, thanks for the awesome discovery, I'll be keeping an eye out for a larivee for shure! Cheers @thedamus 🍻
Guitars made with love!
A multi talented dude! Well done thedamus
High praise from the King!
Thanks man 😁
good to hear that song again
keep up the good work ya drunkin steemer musician
Cheers fat-mango!
Yes indeed it worked its amazing what us old guys can do with technology sometimes
Love the song awesome
Thanks old brother! 🤗
I am a geek in many ways but some bits of technology still catch me out now and again :)
I hear you... i've been trading cryptos for years and have become a bit of a resource for people just learning, and i'm proud of that, but some of this stuff makes me feel like an old grandfather 🤣
Now Cryptos I am just starting to try and learn more about it was all new to me when I joined Steemit
It all gets easier ;)
I am sure it will 😎
