something is wrong here, very very wrong i cannot for the life of me put my finger on it. some one posted a video on you tube of our weekly jam. the video is very poor quality as is the audio the playing also is not first rate. last i checked it had twelve thousand hits! there is absolutely no reason anyone would watch this.
the person who filmed this,is not the person who posted this, i do not know either person. i will post a link, as opposed to posting the video if you can snoop around,maybe give me a clue as is what the #$^@ is going on here?
as painful as it is to watch, please watch the entire proceeding. the person hosting this video has an amazing story to tell. the two people who commented on the video seam to have spam on there channel, perhaps they are marketing guru's? maybe it's something i would want to get in on lol. here is the kicker, rumor has it, they want to come back this week to get a better video. not sure if i should embrace this behavior or ask them to not film while i am playing. any and all comments are welcome.
I know sudden success can come as a shock. This morning I found 7 'likes' on a set of lyrics I posted on Facebook just last night. I went out and got some caviar and crackers.
Looks like "theteenproject88" have uploaded 17 or so BOSCOS videos. Not sure why they would do this because they are not (or don't seem to be) monetising their channel. In total they appear to have a total of more than 2000 videos uploaded. Hmmm. Mystery.
i am hoping to get ya all to watch on youtube to see if we can somehow find some sort of fraudulent activity. i think it has something to do with spammers.
the first harp player was not exactly booted. he had already played a full set on harp and another on piano. we had 60 people signed up on the list. i was the first one there, i brought the amp had it dialed in, then i decided i didnt want to play i would be happy just to hang out with my friends let every one else play,and just stay out of the way i was sitting with the girls in back, and they were making good nature'd fun of all the performers i said to them is that what you do all day sit back here and make fun of us?.. yep! so how do you poke fun of me i asked? they immediately started bouncing around like i do onstage.. it was quite funny, i said maybe i will go up maybe you should!.. maybe i'll go right now maybe you should,you can see at the end it looks like i am waving, i was not ..i was making a hand gesture trying to resemble 2 women gossiping like they say in spanish widi widi ---------- tipjar
i am not the jam host we have several hosts, they do an amazing job 60 plus people on the list in 4 hours every one plays most of us several times as for the other harmonica player i cant speak for him, but he is one of my favorite friends i have ever made and i seriously doubt he was offended, we have a blast every time there is an tremendous amount of camaraderie here unlike most jams i have been to. and yes it is nice of me to let everyone play thru my amp, it is a vintage tweed bassman with a kinder box if it breaks i have to pay for the repairs. ask me about the time all four vintage jensen's were blown up simultaneously.
dont worry too much about james i'll buy him a beer and we will laugh about this post. go ahead lambaste for my poor jam etiquette, i'll get over it. ---------- tipjar
Hmmmmm.... At my jam only the host can ask people to get on or off stage, particularly if there are 60 people on the list. It is harder than Chinese algebra trying to keep all the combinations and permutations in order so the jam flows smoothly.
Perhaps it's the red, Satanic filter on the camera work? Makes it look kinda like a bunch of blues musicians burning in Hell.

Johncn thank you! that is what i am looking for. i would pay 5 bucks to get a few hits on you tube well i would if it was a decent performance lol ---------- tipjar
@1847 - I work with web design and so on for a living, and just happened to know of some examples of that technique, but am not a proponent. Although I'm sure you would be worthy of the attention the old fashioned way, I think YouTube is banning videos AND accounts when they find videos which have been artificially pumped. A harp player like me, on the other hand, would only hit thousands of views through nefarious means. ;-)

check out the three comments on the video one of them is ligit the other 2 if you click on them it shows in there favorite videos things like magnets to relieve health issues how to set up a casino web site etc. all the comments to the videos have dozen's and dozens of comments all posted at the exact same time one of them is for a seminar on how to increase your hits on google seo search engine optimization. i suspect who ever is behind this has something to do with the seminar which was held on tuesday ---------- tipjar
Ultimate Harp Jam now has over 137,000 views! Unfortunately - or perhaps fortunately, I'm not playing on it - I just shot it on my iPhone and posted it. ----------
