A solo musician making videos every now and again. That's the gist of it, anyway.
Harvest Home Hornpipe in the kitchen
Apparently my great grandfather played this on the very same violin!

If I Needed You - Townes Van Zandt

I come in bits and pieces, never consistently ... but there you go, that's life! Occasionally I sit down in the evening and mess around. Music's fun :) God bless! Subscriber count: 764
Gentle On My Mind
Переглядів 8 тис.Рік тому
I truly love some of the artistry that came out of the 60s and 70s, when music lyrics were actually poetry and instruments were utilised to their full potential. Gentle On My Mind was originally written by John Hartford, telling the story of a homeless wanderer whose thoughts always come back to one past love. It was later popularised by Glen Campbell. Shout out to the terrific @MasonCroneMusic...
Adam's Song
Переглядів 470Рік тому
This song could apply to many, many different people, but it was inspired by this picture that my cousin sent, of myself and him. The picture struck a chord in me. While we're not always together, nothing can dissolve the bond of family. And this is why it's Adam's Song. God bless and enjoy! Original song by Gemma Casanova Violin, vocals, guitar, harmonica ... and pastry brushes by Gemma Casano...
A quick Christmas medley
Переглядів 521Рік тому
Merry Christmas folks! I hate to confess it but I've barely touched my violin this entire year (it's beginning to show). I still wanted to put something together for the sake of joining in the Christmas cheer, so here's a haphazard blend of Deck the Halls, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and Joy to the World. I filmed this with my new GoPro as a way of testing the sound quality, which turns out ...

The Moon Song ~ Gemma Casanova cover

A random but sweet little song, originally written by Karen O for the movie "Her". I've no interest in the movie itself, but the song sounds good, so why not cover it? Here's my attempt at mashing banjo, guitar and harmonies into one. A bit haphazard, but you can't ask too much of me. I am but an amateur. Thanks to Mum for the nifty video editing! God bless!

I learned this song recently out of love for the guitar riff. My sound production still needs work but I'm doing my utmost to upload each Saturday! God bless! Subscriber count: 412
Nobody Knows - The Lumineers (Gemma Casanova cover)
Переглядів 1,5 тис.Рік тому
Finally! I've done it! A multi layered track! While it should have been simple, it took an entire afternoon to complete. The violin solo was unplanned and I really should have tuned it up properly beforehand ... but here's the best I could do, along with a promise (false or not, we will see) of bigger things in the future. I hope you enjoy my cover of Nobody Knows, originally by the band The Lu...

Forever Autumn
Переглядів 4,6 тис.Рік тому
I first heard Forever Autumn in Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds, an excellent album of songs inspired by the H.G. Wells bestseller, around twelve years ago. I rediscovered it more recently and am proud to finally have finished learning it. It was originally sung by Justin Hayward of Moody Blues, an excellent English singer and guitarist whose voice is still in great condit...
You Are My Sunshine - Gemma Casanova cover

Alright, so the silhouette thing looked a whole lot better on the camera screen. I look either like I'm trying to hide my identity or else have no grasp whatsoever on the concept of lighting. But videography aside, today it was windy and rainy and none of my well rehearsed songs were working - the result is an unplanned cover of You Are My Sunshine, a cute song first made popular by Jimmie Davi...
Wayfaring Stranger
Переглядів 969Рік тому
Saturday has rolled around once again and here am I, Gemma Casanova, back with my trusty guitar. Although the original writer of this song is unknown, Wayfaring Stranger has been popular for well over a hundred years. I haven't sung it in a while and some improv was required, so excuse the flaws (and the ever present white noise). God bless! Subscriber count: 320

Under Paris Skies ~ Cover by Gemma Casanova
Переглядів 1 тис.3 роки тому
Under Paris Skies, originally by Jean Dréjac and Hubert Giraud. The acoustics in the shed made this sound pretty fancy, hopefully I did justice to this beautiful song. From now on I am determined to quit procrastinating and play much more often for you all. God bless, I appreciate your support so much! Subscriber count: 230

Festive performance! It is good to keep up those family traditions😁. Excellent playing and very cool 👍👍
Wow well done. Masterful and lovely.
Just watched a dozen versions of this..many with loads more views. But your version is by far the best ❤ So pretty!
I should try playing this with your recording. I may not ever get to play those high notes but It would be good practice.
Lovely!👍👍👍👍
Lovely. I couldn't go that high on the E string though I am mostly playing fiddle for therapy to my left hand. Thanks for the tune.
That's a very wonderful cover ☺️
You are so talented. And we are all blessed that you find it within yourself to share that talent. God bless and happy holidays.
Thank you.
🎶👍🎻🎵
Excellent rendition Gemma, thanks. And that's a very handsome big cooking range behind you. Those always remind me of the dreadful old joke, "and now a little recitation entitled Come Down Off the Gas Stove Granny, You're Too Old to Ride the Range." Well, I think it's funny... Thanks again and a very happy Christmas to you all there.
Wonderful! Thankyou Gemma!
Well done!
One of my favorite Hornpipes. . Nicely played!
Very nice! Keep playing and keep posting.
You have a most beautiful voice to listen to, and this video brightened my day 🥰 May God bless you, and I hope you know how much you are loved!
Lovely performance! Very cool 👍👍
My fiddle is also 100years old. I like antique fiddles
Nicely performed!
Townes Van Zandt was a towering musical talent. A great shame that he is almost a cult figure rather than the superstar he should have been. A nice cover.
Thank you!
Noice one! Gee that War of the Worlds stuff is cool isn't it?! Well played ;)
Very nice. A beautiful voice.
Thank you 😄
Keep up the musics Gem! Everyone loves it ;)
Thanks Samuel 🤠
💯
Very talented ❤
Beautiful ❤️
I always find it amazing that people can play the harmonica and the guitar at the same time - i play guitar fairly well after years of practice but the idea of regulating breath, chords, remembering the lyrics, and then getting the rhythm and timing for both instruments correct blows my mind. For context - i tried harmonica and can play basic songs but could never work out the whole bending thing. Great job!
Wow thank you! I've had the harmonica for a few years now but still don't know any actual songs, can only really mess around. I dream of a day when I can whip it out of my pocket and entertain a crowd 😄
thank you for sharing, that was beautiful!
Super neat, keep it up home girl!!
Thanks 😉
Stumbled across this on my front page. UA-cam recommendations can be a wonderful thing! You have a lovely voice and great feel for your instruments, and now a new subscriber.
Thank you very much, appreciated 😄
That's a lovely song. Thank you. There's a line in the original lyric that goes "Loop and Lil agree". Loop and Lil were Townes' two parakeets. I saw him play in Wellington in the early Nineties and it was a great show.
Thanks Alan 😄
So beautiful! Love the harmonica too!
Thanks Lynda! :)
Dearest Gemma, keep on keeping on, thank you for beautiful music ❤❤❤❤❤🤗🤗
