Jim

Sounds like a good time.

I listen to Lonesome Confession regularly but had to go to Soundclick
to refresh my memory on the other two SSG tunes. Sounds like a great
set.

Mustang Sally is one of those tunes that some people say is overplayed but
I find it never fails to get people up and dancing so I'll play it any chance
I get.

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Ya, I got the idea from Wes on Mustang Sally. Musicians might feel its over played but from the looks of the crowd the audience was thrilled. Cant wait for you to hear the way Lonesome Confessions, and the others as well, sound with the band as opposed to just me. They sound so different.

Geoo,

Its time to change your signature.

Congrats regarding your awesome gig.

Now your guitar is not playing you, you are infact playing and rocking the people around you with your guitar !

I wish i could join everyone of your guys at your gigs and scream out some Green Day songs.Yeah :D

Thanks for the terrific report, that was fun to read. Glad your gig went well. Your band must have been pretty good if you are getting more gig offers.

Better learn some more songs, now you know you're gonna need 'em. :wink:

Can't wait to see the video.

Keep on Rockin'

I am so frustrated at this moment. I have been trying to upload videos to my Myspace account and it keeps telling me it failed in processing. I cant find any help on their website. The file is 50 meg. I just dont understand why it wont go up there.

Its been a terribly frustrating day anyway cause I created my DVD but I cant get it to play anywhere either.

BUT, I am certain you guys might have some good suggestions. :) Help a brother out.

The file is probably too big. I like Putfile, it's free and works great, but is limited to 25MB per upload on video and audio files.

Is it possible to break the video down into smaller files?

Not totally sure, but the file may be too large. Some sites have a certain file size of total length of file limitations. I think most are around 100mb though. :?

Try importing it into Windows Movie Maker, convert it into a .wma and you should see a huge decrease in the file size.

What is the file extention now, .AVI?

Might be a media player compatability issue.

WOW, you guys are quick. LOL Myspace allows 100meg but I am going to convert it to WMA and see if that helps. It is currently MPG.

Let you know how it goes.

Thanks a bunch guys

geoo,

Probably file size issue but converting the file may work also.

As for Mustang Sally for some reason it's a song that I would never really listen to on it's own but I've seen it played in so many bars and I have to say it's always a crowd pleaser. Definitely one that gets everybody up dancing and probably a must-know for anyone gigging in bars. I know I need to learn it someday.

Hope you get the video up should be fun to watch.

Hey Jim,

Very Nice

One problem. The link you posted brings up a MySpace sign up page.

I followed the Mojo Monday Link in your sig and found them that way.

I listened to them all but I listened to Better Days 3 times.

The third time with guitar playing along.
