The Waiting Is the Hardest Part…

By Jim Fusco:

Sorry folks- Jim Fusco Tuesday will be on Wednesday this week, as my running schedule (for a 5k I’m running with my colleagues at work) had me training tonight.  I ran with my brother Mike at the gym and feel I’m making some good progress.  I think I did about 4.5k tonight, plus weights, so I hope I’ll be ready when Race Day arrives in less than two weeks.

I was actually practicing quite a bit for my cover song music video, but I haven’t gotten the middle 8 down just yet.  It’s such a great song- I can’t wait to premiere it tomorrow!  Plus, I’m planning a long-overdue requested song for next week with a possible duet!  I’m also planning on recording Barenaked Ladies’ new single, “You Run Away”, with Mike and another Brett Dennen song with him, as well.  Plus, I have a few editions of “Ask the Musician” I’m ready to write…if I can find a free day here on the blog to post them without double-posting!  You can take the man out of SEO…

Anyway, have a great rest of your day and make sure to stop back on Wednesday night for my next post!

What An Interesting Turn Of Events…

By Jim Fusco:

Hello folks!  Let’s get one thing straight- the “Laptop Sessions”, for me, are not even recorded on a laptop anymore! 🙂  That said, I gave no thought to the question my wife asked me this evening: “Can I take the video camera to dance class so I can show them the video I took on Friday?”  My response was a nice, husbandly, “Sure!”  About an hour and a half later, I realize that I cannot record a video without that camera…

She’ll be back in a little while, but I promised both Mike and Becky that we would watch our new favorite show, “Arrested Development”.  Besides, we’re celebrating Mike’s great job on his exam today.

So, here’s the plan:

I’m holding out hope that I at least get dismissed early from work tomorrow (due to the large snowstorm they’re predicting for central Connecticut).  That way, I’ll have time when I get home to record a video.  I have two GREAT ones in mind from two totally new artists to the blog.  And one you might have even heard of!

So, I hope you’ll hurry-back tomorrow for my update.  Hopefully I’ll be in a good mood because I’ll have some extra time to myself.  Have a good night and see you tomorrow!

Another Music Blog Milestone: Jim Fusco Surpasses 500,000 YouTube Video Views!

By Jim Fusco:

Folks, I’m proud to announce that I’ve crossed over the half-million mark.  Yes, 500,000 YouTube video views on my acoustic cover songs and counting!  The popularity of this YouTube series has skyrocketed since I started it all back in late 2007.  It feels like so much longer than two years.  But, 200 videos, over 730 subscribers, and over a half-million video views later, here we are!

The numbers continue to grow and I can only hope that the next 500,000 (which I’m hoping will come in just half the time as the first half-million) will be comprised of more views from the blog itself and not through searches on YouTube.

Thank you to all my subscribers and everyone that’s helped make the Laptop Sessions such an internet sensation!
