What?

Googled, but still don't know the meaning of this term

Ignore Urca. He's our resident troll, using his made-up word to express some sort of mocking disapproval.

I liked your performances a lot. You occasionally get a little unstable on the very lowest notes, but your leaps to your higher range were very good, as was the singing and guitar playing generally.

The one suggestion I have is this: You don't seem to look at your audience; rather, you focus attention in the area of the guitar neck. This isn't necessarily a flaw (the early Dylan would look up at the ceiling/sky while performing) but it's generally a good idea to engage the audience, acknowledge their presence, etc. They like to feel important.

But nice work!

Thanks JerseyJack I really appreciate your feedback.

I did feel I was struggling on the lows, I'll have to practice that range a bit more.

At this particular gig, the lights were at eye-level onstage, so looking out was a bit of a nightmare, but that's no excuse for all my other gigs you are absolutely right that I need to make more eye contact...

and I need to work on talking/explaining my songs inbetween.. I tend to rush the talking I think, like I don't want to bore the audience, but thinking about it now, if I see someone taking their time and giving a brief back-story on a song, I just read them as being confident, not boring (as long as they are concise with it ).

Good singing - glad to see you have a place to excercise your vocals and get paid to do it!

Did you write these all yourself?

Man, I really like the structure of the tunes specifically, "wish."

I enjoyed the songs and the style was relaxing.

It's hard to hear your voice centered but its probably due

to the venue/recording of your tunes. Anyway we can

hear some tunes recorded? I'd really like to hear more.

Cheers guys

Yes, I write these myself. A few of my songs are on my Myspace if you want to listen. I'm glad this thread didn't come off as spammy and I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks very much
