The Happiest Place on Earth » over you http://tommeny.com Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:33:03 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Welcome, Wade Bowen Classic folks! I’m glad you made it! http://tommeny.com/2011/05/13/welcome-wade-bowen-classic-folks-im-glad-you-made-it/ http://tommeny.com/2011/05/13/welcome-wade-bowen-classic-folks-im-glad-you-made-it/#comments Fri, 13 May 2011 17:49:21 +0000 Tom Meny http://tommeny.com/?p=3652 Read the rest of this entry →]]> For those of you who received my demo CD at the Bowen Classic, thank you very much for dropping by. To be completely honest, I wanted to include my demo CD in the participant’s gift bags in hopes that someone in the “biz” might listen to it.. and like it or have some feedback/advise. But, no matter if you’re in the “biz” or not, I hope you enjoy it and I encourage you to share it with your friends… copy it, upload it, do whatever you want.

I am a singer/songwriter in Austin,TX. I’m jumping into the music thing a little later than most, but I’ve been playing guitar and singing since the age of 10. After a few years of uploading cover songs to YouTube (with almost 2 million views!), I decided it was time to get out and play some of my originals. The 4 songs you received on the demo are originals. The versions are very “un-plugged” or “raw” and I hope to record fully produced versions with full instrumentation as soon as it’s financially possible.

Below I have included the 4 songs that were on the CD in Mp3 format for you to download if you wish, as well as a few other originals (in various states of production quality). Simply right click the link and save to your desktop.

Kent Finlay’s Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, TX is an historic venue.  The relatively small stage has hosted some really big names.  Cheatham Street is also credited with being the musical birth place of some of today’s biggest names ( including George Strait ) and nurtured the early careers of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Will and Charlie Sexton and Terri Hendrix.

I had heard of Kent Finlay’s Wednesday night songwriter’s circle but didn’t really look into it until recently.  Kent Finlay is very serious about giving each songwriter the respect they deserve.  He asks that you do not talk or make a lot of noise when someone is performing.. and also asks that you do not leave right after you play.  It’s very different from any other open mic and that makes for a very different experience.

Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming.  It was an honor.

The best day ever!  OrtoPilot covers a Tom Meny song.

Matt Hutchison of OrtoPilot

Matt Hutchison of OrtoPilot

For those of you who do not know, OrtoPilot is the band of Matt Hutchison.  Matt is from Manchester in the U.K. and is a huge YouTube success.  His covers have  millions of views on YouTube and he is highly respected by his YouTube musician peers.  More importantly his original music is nothing short of phenomenal and it is only a matter of time before he is a household name.  OrtoPilot has the following YouTube honors:

#34 – Most Subscribed (All Time) – Musicians – United Kingdom
#6 – Most Viewed (Today) – Musicians – United Kingdom

Matt covered my song Over You and posted it on YouTube today.  It was a huge surprise and a huge honor.  He and I have corresponded several times over the past year and he mentioned recently he would someday cover one of my songs… but I didn’t think he was serious!

Anyway, this was tremendous honor.  A few people have covered this song, and I am eternally grateful to them as well.  This one takes the cake mainly because I was a huge fan of Matt’s for awhile now and have even purchased his CD (as well as several of his covers on iTunes).

It would mean a lot to me if you would subscribe to Matt’s YouTube page here :  http://www.youtube.com/ortopilot and maybe give him a little thank you comment for me.

Now, if this wasn’t enough… as I was reading the comments on his video I saw that David Choi left a comment!  David Choi is arguably one of the most well known YouTube musicians and personalities.  He is known throughout the world and is partially responsible for YouTube’s growth…. that is NOT an exhaggeration.  He has MILLIONS and MILLIONS of views and has 735,936 subscribers!  David Choi is #43 – Most Subscribed (All Time) … yes… the 43rd most subscribed to person on YouTube in all of the world.  So it was a great great honor to see his nice comment.
