A full year of songs

Prepare yourself for a real mix of songs primarily in English and Spanish but also in Swedish, and in that French which I do not speak and much less pronunciate well.

Prepárense para una verdadera mezcla de canciones principalmente en inglés y español pero también en sueco y en ese francés que no hablo ni mucho menos pronuncio.

Out-of-the-box-thinking is often requested, but is usually accepted only when coming from within a-small-mutual-admiration-network.

Here it is: Bartering plenty of Noise for a tiny bit of Voice

My weight? Yes there is about 20 pounds, 9 kilos, difference with when I began this blog. Luckily for me it has been in a downward direction.

Copyrights!

One is always worried about issues such as copyrights, as one does not want to end up in a slammer at any age, even if voicing some of these beautiful songs could perhaps be worth it.

What I will try to do is to check out on the web if someone else has been doing a cover of the song or any other one by I believe is of the same composer and, if so, I will presume it is ok for me to do it too.

Of course if someone protests loudly, not only for a copyright infringement but also because the composer feels I am destroying or in any other sense behaving disrespectfully towards his baby, I will ipso facto take it down and replace it with another song.
