Tonight on Jake's Showcase http://youtube.com/JakesShowcase I have just released "Jake Johnston - "Glenside PA" http://youtu.be/TpduBJz0dyU currently at 1 View 3 Likes 0 Dislikes. It was done with lamp and natural lighting.
You may call me a chicken here. Well it was my first post 500,000 views on my channel and I thought I'd mix it up yet again. Really I have just got the guitar within the past 10 days and am really excited. My former guitar was destroyed 2 years ago because it warped due to the humidity in my apartment and I was really dying to play and was recently given one.
The reason I say you may call me a chicken here this is the first video I did not watch prior to uploading. I didn't want to see myself sing. I guess kinda nervous I'd chicken out and not put the video up or something. But really singing and music is just a little more soulful then just about anything else. You put your soul into music and that's why maybe I'm a bit more sensitive.
As you know I'm a writer and one of the main reasons I was so happy to get the guitar is because I want to write music. I've got so much life experience, feeling, emotion and poetry in me that I just have wanted to get it out in a musical way. Without my guitar I've been at a loss of a key piece of my toolbox.
So then I had a guitar, lots of ideas for songs and really I didn't know where to start.
I decided to start from the beginning and I pulled out my photo and paper album and took out this song I wrote when I was 13 years old. I've written about 10 songs from my youth and I think I have many, many more to be written.
Some people like to play music, me, I like to make music, create music.
Sure, I'm a bit rusty here, the first song I've played in over 2 years and the calluses on my fingers have not formed yet, but they come and my cords will come, my strumming will come and the words will come as well.
Welcome to the second half a million views fans. Let's rock this joint and hit a million for the channel overall as fast as possible and get this over with.
Have A Wonderful Day or Night Fans,
Jake Johnston jakesshowcase@gmail.com
