Look out above

Well, I was hoping my next post a) wouldn’t take so long, or b) would be about something else, but here goes.
Corporate bigwigs can go play in traffic.
I’m specifically talking about the hooligans at Cass County Music, who recently have filed a copyright infringement complaint about my cover of The Eagles’ song “Best of My Love” (http://laptopsessions.com/archives/254). If you go to Youtube and try to watch this video, you are out of luck.
However, watching it through this site still works somehow.
But anyway, seriously. Why the heck would a company not want you to watch user created covers of these songs?
What’s next? No more cover bands at lounges unless royalties are paid for each song played?
It’s pretty ridiculous. I even got a Youtube email saying that further copyright infringements may lead to account banning.
Whatever. I’ll deal. You guys that come to our site are so wonderful that I am not going to take down my 170 video catalog just because one guy in a ten gallon hat in a shack thought my cover version somehow was causing them to lose money.
Hopefully it won’t be a big deal.

The Waiting Is the Hardest Part…

By Jim Fusco:
Sorry folks- Jim Fusco Tuesday will be on Wednesday this week, as my running schedule (for a 5k I’m running with my colleagues at work) had me training tonight. I ran with my brother Mike at the gym and feel I’m making some good progress. I think I did about 4.5k tonight, plus weights, so I hope I’ll be ready when Race Day arrives in less than two weeks.
I was actually practicing quite a bit for my cover song music video, but I haven’t gotten the middle 8 down just yet. It’s such a great song- I can’t wait to premiere it tomorrow! Plus, I’m planning a long-overdue requested song for next week with a possible duet! I’m also planning on recording Barenaked Ladies’ new single, “You Run Away”, with Mike and another Brett Dennen song with him, as well. Plus, I have a few editions of “Ask the Musician” I’m ready to write…if I can find a free day here on the blog to post them without double-posting! You can take the man out of SEO…
Anyway, have a great rest of your day and make sure to stop back on Wednesday night for my next post!
