JB Maddox replied to Downtown Freddy Brown's discussion Guitar straps and end pin jacks in the group Taylor Owners"I just use Perri's soft leather straps. I have one for each acoustic. They adjust easy to fit various end pins but when they expand for the big ends like my Taylor, I don't use them on other guitars with small end pins--they…"

Downtown Freddy Brown on Youtube
Better late than never I have finally launched a few vids on Youtube. I'm not much of a techie so they are the basic "sitting in front of the webcam" type with little imagination - just songs but as I learn more I hope to improve. Please feel free to watch and comment. I appreciate your encouragement.

PA Systems
I've had a few different PA set-ups in my day. The last radical change was from the usual 2 speaker style to the Bose L1 line array speaker system with a single totem pole type stand which acts as mains and monitors all in one simple set-up. The only problem for me was the weight of the base which houses the 2 amps and mixer. It does take up less room than a conventional set-up and is quicker to set up but that one piece is too heavy for me so....Bose now has the L1Compact. A lighter version… Continue

Didn't know I had a blog....
I don't know if I will find time to use this feature or not but we'll get it started anyway. I'm 57 and live in Brampton, ON, Canada. I have been playing guitar since I was 12. Guitar was not my first (or my last) instrument I learned to play. I started palying trumpet when I was 8. I now play trumpet, trombone, tenor sax, French Horn, guitar, bass, 5 string banjo, mandolin, uke, pedal steel, recorder, harmonicas, dulcimer, canjo...I think that's it. Now I want to try sitar and tabla. I play… Continue

Paul Stoddard said… - Hi Freddy
You are right, although the US registation system can be used by Canadians, and it is cheaper, but I would think the people who really have to worry about people stealling their songs are people who write hits, like the recent Paul Anka/MJ story.

- Hi Freddy
Thanks for taking the time to respond. The reason I asked is I have written some songs, and I perform them live when the situation permits. Most of my gigs are in retirement homes and senior residences, so I am mostly covering Frank Sinatra and Hank Williams and that stuff. I have a self-recorded CD, but I have only heard one of my songs covered by someone else once, I don't know if anyone else plays my stuff. I have not registered my songs with Socan, maybe I will in the future.
Thanks again
Paul

- Hello
You look a bit like Collin Linden with the hat and beard. I would like to ask you a couple of questions, I hope that is okay. You said you have over 100 songs listed with SOCAN. Do other people perform/record your songs, or just you? Are any royalties coming to you from these songs? Did you also register your copyrights, in Ottawa or in Washington, or did you decide that was not needed? I hope you don't mind these questions, and I hope you have time to respond.
Thanks
Paul
