And so the story goes, to where? No one knows. But it involves a Volkswagen T2 Crossover Bay Bus called Billie Bud (known to most people as ‘WOW, a camper van’); a Pentax LX SLR camera loaded with black and white film; cooking vegetarian food on a basic set up of Cobb cooker, a couple of gas rings and an open fire; reading books; listening to music and the ruminations from a retired Staff Nurse. Well......got to fill the hours outside of being a pensioner somehow.

All the instruments (apart from the drums from the GarageBand library) and the vocals in the videos below are played and sung by myself…Gray Summers. Recorded on GarageBand with a Mac M2 computer, some guitars and an AKAI MIDI MPK Mini plus keyboard.

Thinking of a consistent intro for each new future video recorded from the Billie Cloud 9 VeeDub Bus. For this YouTube Vlogcast project of playing and singing my songs outdoors. Hopefully with others dropping by from time to time. Did this one below this morning. It sounds okay through headphones.

And headphones or ear buds are best with listening. So hopefully it will transfer well here on WP too.

Needed is a very short piece of music to introduce each new video recorded that suits the theme. Musicians playing and just seeing what goes is more focused. I’d love some quick sequential video imagery with this intro below. Moving images involving some kind of Cloud 9 themed weird mini story. But I need to think that one through. 🤔

Conversations regarding other well being matters alongside some music should be more light. And the one below seems more appropriate. But again, more appropriate imagery needed.
