Hey folks!

Well, it's official! I have just launched my music video for "A Merry Christmas" on UTube, starring my wife and I. It will be listed under ...

"Best Christmas Rock N Roll song of 2011"

I hope you like it!

I have also uploaded what I call (and that is the Utube title for it) "OSI: RETRO sampler" which is a ten minute audio clip of the my full debut album, (well some are rough mixes), and both Utube video's will have a link to my website.

Could somebody please make a link for the two Utube things on here for me? I only have the link for my website on the text section because it already existed in that form, but Neanderthal OSI is still behind the times!

Folks, if you enjoy or don't enjoy them, please give feedback to me on here. At the least, a lot of you will finally have the pleasure (or displeasure!) of meeting me in the flesh, so to speak.

Enjoy!

OSI & lovely wife Steph!

ThanX dude, that's high praise from a fellow artist. Another friend of mine said (in the entertainment business) that it is "Amazingly catchy", which is what I'm banking on.

I don't know if the audio sample has loaded up. I think it's because it's only an audio sample, so I think I'll try re-launching it with a video "Slideshow" tomorrow, as there is only audio for it at the moment.

Folks ...

Just letting you know that I will reload "OSI: RETRO Sampler" today, and it will be up by noon or so mountian time in the US.

I think the first attempt at loading didn't work because of two things ...

1. I had no video accompnying it. It will now have a "slideshow" of photo's from the photoshoot we did for the website.

2. I did a list of the songs below in the description for the "OSI: RETRO Sampler" and one of the songs is "Dear Prudence", which the Beatles did, but my song is a completely different song, just the same title, and perhaps thier "copyright" protection stuff wouldn't let it go through because of that title. So, when I reload it, I'll just call the song, "D. Prudence".

ThanX 4 the kind comments thus far.

OSI

Hey Guys! The OSI: RETRO Sampler is live and on Utube! I think I have this link thig licked here. Please tell me if the link below works ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP_rIrZ80cI

... otherwise, just look up "OSI: Retro Sampler"

Please note: I was just listening to it, and it sounds rather distorted in places, which is not the condition of the original file, so please bear with it. I also mistakenly put (I think) the release date as October 1st. Actually, it's September 1st.

It can be ordered on my website if you wish.

Once again, thanX 4 all the nice comments ...

and ...

An amazing BIG thanX to 1 Doug Meltzer! When I was having a dickens of a time with the computer (remember that series of posts?) I sent the DV cassette to Doug and he made the copies of the files on disc 4 me and then I was able to edit the video!

Truly, excellent kudo's to, no doubt, one of the best moderators the world has ever known!

OSI

Nice song Osi...(A Merry Christmas)

The video reminds me of some of Todd Rungren/Utopia videos from back in the early 80's.

I'm curious...why not release this song at...Christmas!?

Bill ...

It's all about "marketing".

I brought this specific song out now because of the whole "Christmas in July" sort of thing. Some people will see it and say, "July, what the heck!", but that may also make them curious. They watch it, get off on it, and it starts the "momentum" building ...

... so not only will it have a "first life" right now, it will have an "additional life" during the Holidays.

The album will first come out on September 1st, but I will also have a special Christmas album coming out November 1st, with "A Merry Christmas" as well as two other brand new Christmas songs (with Vocals) and the rest being some great instrum-mental versions of the great Christmas classics, but from, at times, some very different directions, (but in a "classical orchestra" setting).

Osi,

Congrats and nice work [Smile]
The melody and lyrics remind me of the Beatles; specifically John Lennon's Christmas song.

Now you've got me tempted to put some stuff up too....

ThanX Claus ...

Your not the first person to make a "Lennon Connection". I have a lullaby already recorded for the second Album where, though I was'nt trying to do a "Lennon", listening to it after the fact, I sound a lot like Julian. Lennon was really in a class by himself, as all great artist are.

ThanX 4 all the feedback. It is appreciated.
