Iā€™m almost at 30,000 subscribers, so Iā€™ll be coincidentally getting my first YouTube plaque when after Iā€™m being fed by a tube. Mark your calendars!

When 3 Phineas and Ferb videos randomly go viral 6-9 months after you posted them. You canā€™t look at the spike, but what happened before and after the spike, which is about a 2x increase in engagement, so thatā€™s at least something. YouTube is my FIFTH best platform now, so, sorry, this doesnā€™t get al the priority it used to.

Iā€™m considering stopping the music theory posts. They seem to be reaching the wrong people. Instead of reaching people wanting to learn and discuss, itā€™s reaching only the people who donā€™t know my channel and want to nitpick one word I may not have said correctly and leave 2 paragraph long comments.

Currently not teaching, so help me scratch this itch by asking me music questions for me to answer in a video!

For some background, I have a PhD in music composition and have 9 years teaching university level composition, arranging, orchestration, and music theory.

I also am an American citizen who grew up outside the US and also have taught outside the US, so intercultural/multicultural ā€œnon-Westernā„¢ā€ music also is something I have experience with.

I have a new album that has come out today! A lot of covers and various styles, and some old originals!

About new ā€œshantyā€ arrangements:

In 2015, I permanently damaged my voice, and instead of healing over time, itā€™s been slowly deteriorating

In August 2023, the threshold for singing loud, long, high, and rough (which shanties require all 4 of) got to the point where Iā€™m in pain after recording 30 seconds of a song 16 times, so I quit

If you see something that Iā€™m singing full voice on, it means I recorded it before August 2023

You can still make sea shanty requests, but itā€™s dependent on how many people like the request, and if people are willing participate in a remote collaboration

On the docket: Money Money Money (ABBA), Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond), The Only Exception (Paramore), I Want It That Way (Backstreet Boys)

Oh hey, thanks for 25,000 subscribers! Itā€™s taken 16 years and 3 months to get to this point, so Iā€™ll see you in January of 2073 for 100,000!

So, I just need to make my YouTube channel the ā€œPhineas and Ferb covers onlyā€ channel?
