50 to 50

It's early June, and today we're having record rains... So I stayed inside all afternoon and wrote and recorded a new song... Didn't intend for it to be so sappy. Sorry about that.

today it's hard to see through the rain
but I feel it coming around again
reviewing it all from way back when
and long-lost friends

the cast of characters come and go
some too fast and some to slow
only the rare have a chance to rust
turn to American dust

to those I've loved and those who cared
hold up high those times we dared
when all was lost and all was found
we held our ground

this next big day could turn the tide
of this long confusing ride
set the course for the final stretch
of this comic sketch

can't let all these aches and pains
tie me down with battleship chains
and if the wind blows it all away
refuse to fade away

(not fade away, not fade away, not fade away)

Can an old guy make it in the world of online video?

In my time on YouTube and LiveVideo, it has certainly been pointed out to me many times that I'm a bit older than the "typical" 'Tuber.

Actually, I've found plenty of other old, tired, gray-haired dudes that I'm proud to call my friends, but the fact is that it's the younger generation (and a couple of notable exceptions from the much older set) that get all the attention, video views, and subscribers.

So, what's an old dude to do if he wants to promote his channel to the masses?

Watch today's video and see what I mean...
