我来自纽约2 The Kid From The Big Apple 2

Hi all. LONG POST.

Pardon my tone in the previous post. I had to take some time to look back at my channel and think through how I want to proceed. And glad to say that after a week of thinking, I've finally come to terms with my beginnings and what I've been through, and decided that my channel will be specially dedicated to tell of my musical exposure, my dreams of improvement, and how I would like to feel satisfied with what I;m doing.

The Kid From The Big Apple 2 just premiered last Thursday, and so did Justice League, so it was somewhat downplayed by Justice League hype... Meh, hopefully it didn;t take too much attention away from our local production!

Anyway, The Kid From The Big Apple aired last year, and here it is the sequel! I can still remember clearly when I was making the arrangement for 小天地,the theme for The Kid From The Big Apple, and how that was the catalyst for me to start making sheets. Looking back , I literally wrote those sheets by hand, i took some manuscript paper, and drew all the bar lines, timing and all the taugeh for it XD. Wasn't very efficient at it btw...

Then I started sharing it on my YouTube channel. I guess since it was really touching (I mean the movie) , people just got attracted to the song. And from there on, I personally sent countless emails to people asking for my sheets, and I was really happy! People liked my sheets, even though they were so simple! I used to think that complicated sheets would garner more attention, since they would sound far more fantastic. But here, my simple sheets where anyone could play, and people liked it...

It wasn't long after that I then made sheets on a consistent basis. Be it Chinese songs by Jay Chou or Eric Chou, anime sheets which came later... I found it a joy that I could be of service to a community. 

But in my search for improvement in which I tried playing K Pop, Eng Pop and other stuff to try and improve, I was actually neglecting my Chinese song listeners... I didn't realize it. Not until lately. 

I mentioned this in the past profusely that I promise to improve. It is still my promise. The only difference is: I've now got a focus. Me being on YouTube isn't about trying to boast what I can do. Alongside improving my musical skills, I want to make sheets/music that people will listen to. I want to be of good use to a community. Ultimately, I wish to be accepted by that community, and perhaps be with the Big Boys on Youtube like Ray Mak... at least be known within my country. And that, brought me back from my arduous journey of self searching...

I will now dedicate my channel to my past, as Ive grew up listening to Mando Pop, my present: I'm sooooo into Anime, and my future: YOU. My channel will serve to provide music resources for those 2 genres, for those who have subscribed to me. (Cuz come on, you won't stick around a channel which is not your taste.)

New Place, Same Old Struggles.

Hmmmmmm......................................................

Nothing seems to have changed alot, haven't they?

I'm kinda lost in YouTube right now, and not quite sure how to make my way back around...

What do I expect out of tis? Is it just me in my channel? Am i doing service to my subscribers? Are people listening to my videos?

A note: I didnt get to bring my big gun camera that I used to use for recordings, since it was kinda in the way of my stuff.... so I settled for a smaller gun camera, so video resolution wont be that great...

I'm kinda frustrated right now...

I really hope to have some interaction in my channel... otherwise it really feels as though... I'm just playing for myself... My loathsome self...

There's a lot going on inside my head... Hope the skies will clear...

Help me out and....

thank you.
