Yessss, I’ve got a tool on my website for push notifications! I can almost hear you think ‘Huh? What? Why?’… Let me explain. When you’re a follower of my social media accounts, you might have noticed that I’ve changed my profile picture on all of them. It now states ‘Follow me on my own website tabbymayart.com’.   What does this ...

Summer break Due to the heat in Spain, we’ve had to cancel the last Singalong Sunday. It’s too hot in our house to do live streams during the summer, so we’ve announced a summer break. I will play live again on Sunday September 20th, but I’m still considering the format in which I want to do that. I’ve sure had ...

Failing system On the latest Singalong Sunday things were looking much better, or more like ‘listening better’, than the week before that. So, loaded with optimism we made the preparations for last Sunday’s Singalong live session. To run into a totally failing system! Aaaaargh… what was going on??? What happened? Maurice can get very upset (understatement!!!) when computers, programs, plugins ...

New visuals My dear hubby has really been working his ass off last week. Totally focused on my Singalong Sunday he was programming, writing scripts, testing, failing, rewriting, testing again, and finally it paid off. And that was just for the visuals we wanted to add, to make my hour performance even nicer to watch. Beside the visuals he has ...

Problems with the sound If you’ve seen the video of the latest Singalong Sunday, you’re already aware that things with the sound didn’t go as well and smoothly as we anticipated. And that’s an understatement! If you haven’t seen it yet, take this as a warning, so you’ll be able to see through it (or just plainly skip the first ...

New set up The last couple of weeks Maurice and I have been talking about improving my online gigs a bit more. One way would obviously be with better sound. But to do that, we needed a new mixer.   Another way to improve things, was by using a backdrop. As you’ve seen since gig no. 4 I’ve had a ...

Themed Singalong Sundays A few Sundays ago I came up with the idea to do themed gigs. And one theme that I couldn’t wait to do, was The Beatles! I’ve been a huge fan of the Beatles since I was about six years old. Me singing and playing the guitar, is mainly their ‘fault’. Because I loved their songs, and ...

Catching up As you may have noticed, I’m not the quickest with uploading (or writing) new blog posts 🙈. It’s not that I don’t want to, but I’m usually distracted by other things. Important things, like rehearsing new material to be able to play it in the next Singalong Sunday gig. The last six days I’ve been working really hard ...

Work in progress It’s about time to post the next FB Live gig, number 4 in the row. At the time of writing, april 29th, I’ve done six FB live gigs already and I’m not about to stop. In fact, my husband (Maurice) and I are working really hard behind the scenes to improve things. But one step at a ...

In this blog I’ll post the video of the third Facebook Live Replay, the one hour gig I did on April 5th. With the passing of the weeks my husband and I have been thinking about ways to improve the quality of the live sessions. One improvement was adding a backdrop, which we’ve used for the first time in the ...
