Bambuser Platform for Live Streaming
http://andyroberts.me/live-streaming/bambuser-platform-for-live-streaming
I just found out about the Bambuser platform for live streaming video and audio fro a mobile phone or webcam. As such it could be considered a possible alternative to Ustream that I’ve been using for the live show on Tuesdays over the past year or so. There is a facility to download saved broadcasts, so that would work for stripping out the audio for podcasts, and for editing out songs for uploading to youTube. There’s also a chat facility but I haven’t tested that yet. The sound quality seems acceptable, and there’s a much shorter lag between broadcast and feedback.

Episode 6 Andy Roberts Podcast – Fingerstyle Blues
http://andyroberts.me/andy-roberts/episode-6-andy-roberts-podcast-fingerstyle-blues
Here’s episode 6 in the weekly podcast series and this week I feature some fingerstyle blues tunes. I have two apologies to make first. The length of the podcasts is meant to be strictly under half an hour, and this one is 30 minutes and 18 seconds. That’s eighteen seconds too long, I didn’t notice until after I’d exported the mp3 file. Sorry about that. Won’t happen again. The other thing is the sound quality which is not up to scratch either. I’ve done some software updates and the recording level got reset, and it was too high so there is some distortion on the guitar parts in the louder tunes. I dont mind it too much myself, but if you hate that sort of cheap fuzzboxy kind of noise then just skip over those bits, or miss out the whole episode. I’ll get it right next time. Now the podcast player and show notes:
Subscribe to the podcast RSS feed using the url: http://andyroberts.me/?feed=podcast Subscribe in iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/andy-roberts/id378470885 You can also download the MP3 audio file which is 29.2Mb in size and 30 minutes 18 seconds in duration from this link 06 Andy Roberts Podcast Episode 6.mp3 There’s also a stored video file from the live broadcast over at Ustream.tv where the podcasting event takes place on Tuesdays at 7.00pm UK time Video Podcast Episode No 6 Podcast Episode 6 Show Notes Show notes and information for Podcast Episode 6 broadcast on August 10th, published on August 11th 2010. All songs performed with the six string Ibanez acoustic guitar again (must get the 12 string out next week) Hesitation Blues I know this song from Ralph McTell but the origins are older: “Hesitation Blues” is a popular song written by Billy Smythe, Scott Middleton, and Art Gillham around 1914. It’s changed a bit, with famous versions by Leadbelly, Rev Gary Davis and Janis Joplin When The Waters Rise I haven’t performed my song “When The Waters Rise” for a while so I thought I’d slip it into this episode. It’s not a blues though, it’s a tango. SInce the subject matter is a distopian view of climate change I thought I’d offer it to the Black Mountain Uncivilisation community. Oh well.
Count On Me I learned this one from Wizz Jones but it’s by Mose Allison
Doing it All Alone One of my Paris songs, Doing it all alone : lyrics and music by Andy Roberts
Deep River Blues Again know to me as a Wizz Jones song but it’s an old blues classic made famous by Doc Watson.
Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out John The Fish used to sing this one at the old folk cottage in Truro, and then Eric Clapton recorded it on his unplugged album but it was a well knownjazz/blues song before that.
No – by Loudon Wainwright This is just the bonus track really, which I learned to play this week in response to a request by Then Wang for a tutorial with chords so he can learn it himself. Great song though, which I may be able to do some justice to one day, but not quite there yet…

Episode 5 Andy Roberts Folk Music Podcast
http://andyroberts.me/andy-roberts/episode-5-andy-roberts-folk-music-podcast
Episode 5 of the weekly podcast series features 6 acoustic songs with more of a traditional folk music feel to them. Four are my own compositions written in a way that harks back to the traditional English folk song, or maybe British in some cases. It used to be a bit of joke to to an introduction long the lines of “This is a traditional song that I wrote” as if that is such a fake thing to do but these days it’s become more normal thanks to the efforts of folk singers such as Kate Rusby, Tom Bliss and many others brought up in the traditional scene for whom its natural to write songs in that style. The rest of my songs would need be described as “Contemporary Folk” which probably means they sound like they were written in the 1970s, and some of them were… Anyway, here is the podcast player and download link followed by this week’s show notes

Episode 4 Loudon Wainwright Special
http://andyroberts.me/podcast/episode-4-loudon-wainwright-special
Episode 4 of the weekly Andy Roberts podcast is dedicated to the songs of American singer songwriter and actor Loudon Wainwright. I’ve been listening to and playing Loudon Wainwright songs pretty much since I first started playing guitar, some 30 odd years ago – the lyrics are so clever, poignant or funny and the tunes are powerful yet straightforward enough to learn, and in some quantity it turns out. Wondering hpw to mark out tonight’s podcast, which is at episode 4 already, I decided to feature my own interpretations of mostly Loudon Wainwright songs and in the end as it turned out, nothing but Loudon Wainwright songs except for a couple of bonus tracks on the live Ustream after the recording had been switched off. So here is the podcast player and download link:
