Uploading Videos / Request for criticism
i recently signed up to https://www.youtube.com where they let you upload as much video as you like - ( video just has to be less than 10 minutes in length, and they'll compress it if it's more than 100 mb )
in ljp terms, this is possibly nice for people who want to show prospective employers what they can do, or for people who would like criticism of their work.
i know the sound's not always going to be great, but it would be good to see some people's recent gigs. if people are interested, we could create an ljp group within youtube.com, so the videos are connected together.
my first effort is a playing from about a week ago when i was on a cruise ship. it's of shake rattle and roll, if anyone has the time and is interested in boogie etc, i would be grateful for any constructive criticism / suggestions on how to improve etc.

i expected more of a show (you know glisses with your foot and stuff) but it was enjoyable boogie-woogie.
keep 'em coming!
i really can't find anything to say, other i would work on singing chops. sort of seems the singing is an afterthought to the piano, and if you really take that seriously there should be a better balance.
the boogie was pretty good, that left hand some pretty interesting moments, keep up the good work
understanding the musical instrument that is the human voice.

i've really been working on my voice, should've done it years ago. it's definitely worth it for a musician to do this. after all it's a free, unique, one-of-a-kind expressive instrument. man, i mean you can play simpler and a good voice just adds so much!!! fun city.
