“Don’t Know A Thing About Love” (Ringo Starr Cover)

Hey HEY!  Welcome to your Sunday, Sunday, Sunday fix of The Laptop Sessions with me, Jim Fusco!  Am I the only one excited to still bring you these on a daily basis?  Sure, it’s a pain, but so is seeing your in-laws…and I’m sure everyone does that more often than they’d like to.

Tonight, I bring you a song that I simply LOVE.  That kinda fits because Ringo Starr is all about peace, love, and understanding.  He’s a cool dude, and even though he didn’t write this song, I still love it.  This was from Ringo’s first “comeback” album, “Time Takes Time”, one of my favorites growing up in the early 90s.  This is the first album he did with the Roundheads and the sounds is just so classic to me.

This album is the last one before he started to write almost every song.  If you’ve been to the music blog before, you know that I’m a HUGE fan of people writing their own songs.  But, Ringo did know how to pick some great ones including “Weight of the World”, which I’ll also be doing as a cover song at some point here on the best video blog online!

This song has a great tune, a great message, and a good beat.  Sounds like a great song to me!  Plus, I get to sing like Ringo, which is always so much fun.  Don’t worry, I didn’t do an impersonation, though!  I hope you enjoy tonight’s video as we look towards the unofficial last day of summer tomorrow, fitting that we have a teacher posting tomorrow- one, Chris Moore!!

That’s right – another milestone to file away to the books. Jeff Copperthite has climbed to over 30,000 views on Youtube, achieving the mark only 39 days after reaching 20,000 views.

“This is the fastest that we have been obtaining video views ever. It took me nearly 6 months of Laptop Sessions acoustic cover videos to reach 20,000. To only take 39 days to increase that viewcount 50% is simply amazing”, says Jeff.

Jeff is well ahead of the pace to obtaining 40,000 views by the end of August, a goal he established at the start of summer.

We at guitarbucketlist.com would like to thank you – our loyal fans – who keep coming back for a brand new acoustic cover video every day. As long as you keep returning, we’ll keep covering!

“Can’t Help Falling In Love” (Elvis Presley Cover)

Congratulations to Mike Fusco for his first Laptop Session!

It’s been a few months since we started the Laptop Sessions acoustic rock cover songs video blog.  And that entire time, we’ve been trying to get my brother Mike Fusco into the mix, no pun intended.  You may remember Mike Fusco as the famous voice and mind behind Dr. K. on WCJM free internet radio.  You may also remember Mike as the “self-proclaimed teen heartthrob.”  But here on the Laptop Sessions, he’s simply Mike Fusco- singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and fellow mater of the cover song art.

Tonight, I graciously gave Mike my normal spot in the cover song rotation (in other words, “YES! I get a day off- thank you Mike!), but don’t worry, I’ll be back on Tuesday with another great cover song from another artist we haven’t covered yet here on the music blog.

Mike begins his tenue with the Laptop Sessions with his emotional cover of Elvis Presley’s classic love song, “Can’t Help Falling In Love.”  Mike did a great job with this, giving the song extra meaning, considering the situation he was in.  I’m happy that instead of just sulking, he turned his emotions into a great cover of this classic song.

We hope to get a Mike song on the video blog once a week.  He has our full support here and we hope you’ll help welcome Mike to the Laptop Sessions!

A record number of visitors to the Laptop Sessions Covers Music Video Blog!

Even though it’s Jim’s day to post an acoustic rock cover song, it is with great pleasure that I make this official FMP announcement…

As of yesterday, the highest number of unique visitors we had in a day was 222, a record set back in April.  During that time, we were using a program that helped us invite YouTube friends and get more hits to our site.  We stopped using the program very shortly after hitting that record, but we always felt like it was a cheap way to make a record.  After all, we had the programs getting hits in addition to the actual viewers.

Well, we can feel guilty no more!

As of yesterday, our new record is 225 unique, in-the-flesh visitors to the Laptop Sessions music video blog in ONE day!  This is due in large part to two things that have never happened before in the history of the blog.  First, we have been gaining ground steadily in the search engines — Google, Yahoo, MSN — and now we’re actually coming up on the first page when people around the world search for terms such as “acoustic song” and even some songwriters and bands, such as “Ben Folds acoustic.”  A second benefit is that many people are curious about the Laptop Sessions based on various music forums that Jim, Jeff, and I belong to.  Hopefully, one day soon, those people will sign up for membership on this site as well, so they can leave comments!

That’s all for now.  Stay tuned for lots of great things to come in 2009, not only with the Fusco-Moore Productions Blog and the Laptop Sessions music blog series, but also with FMP Studios and the brand-new, redesigned WCJM site.

See you tomorrow for another all-new session!
