Richard Dyer replied to George Knight's discussion Playing Coffee house type gigs in the group Coffee House Players"I prefer to have the songs memorized. I feel that having the music and paper in front of us is a distraction to the audience. It is more than the music they come to see...it is a show. I find that the sheet music reduces the interaction with the…"
Richard Dyer left a comment for John Lillo"Thanks for getting back to me and the information. You got a really nice sound on your recording. I have played a bit with going direct vs using a mic with an amp. I have not quite been able to get the recording to sound like the amp (at least like…"

Thanks for listening to "Fossy". Sorry this is so late but have been out of the country. I used a Fender Stratocaster for this tune and went direct in, first through a mixing board and into the analog recorder. Appreciate you…"
SteveO Mallis replied to Richard Dyer's discussion New song - "You're My Life" in the group Songwriters"Hi, I thought this was a fine song. I sort of pictured myself and the wife sitting down in a quiet resturant about to have dinner or drinks. The instrumentation was great, especially the really nice guitar riffs. It sounded like you repeated I do I…"

Richard Dyer left a comment for Belinda Silva"I bought Folk Uke after the concert. I also purchased the live album with Arlo, Pete Seger, and families. Both albums were awesome!"
Belinda Silva left a comment for Richard Dyer"Oh my Gosh! I'm so excited to discover someone else was at the show and enjoyed it just as I did. I was 2nd row from the stage on the right. I don't know if I should share this but the first thing I did when I got home was look up FOLK UKE…"
Richard Dyer left a comment for Belinda Silva"I agree the show (Arlo Guthrie and Family) was great. We were center stage three rows back. He is a real showman and you can tell that he really enjoys what he is doing."
Gary Dupuis replied to Richard Dyer's discussion New song - "You're My Life" in the group Songwriters"Great song! I really dug the arrangement, sometimes the best songs are the most simple. One suggestion is that when you sing, make sure that you ennunciate so that your lyrics are very clear, because I didn't catch some of what you were singing…"
Richard Dyer replied to Richard Dyer's discussion New song - "You're My Life" in the group Songwriters"Thank you for your comments and I am glad you enjoyed it."

Kirk Mathew Gatzka replied to Richard Dyer's discussion New song - "You're My Life" in the group Songwriters"Good tune! I appreciated your guitar and keyboards and bass, made for enjoyable listening. I would have liked to see the lyrics listed though, but they were pretty clear in your singing of them. I am not a good critic so I don't have any great…"

- Oh my Gosh! I'm so excited to discover someone else was at the show and enjoyed it just as I did. I was 2nd row from the stage on the right. I don't know if I should share this but the first thing I did when I got home was look up FOLK UKE on youtube and I laughed all over again at that crazy song of Arlo's daughter.
