    A massive thank you to all of you. For the views, the likes and especially your comments and kind words over the years. 50K.. Unbelievable! Who woulda thought!?
    Those who have been following for a while know it was never about the numbers. It was always about creating videos I enjoy watching. Music I enjoy listening to. It was always for my self and my family first.. it just so happened I found an audience that enjoyed them also.. and for that I am very grateful. Just by clicking on my videos you all contributed to helping me continue to stay afloat during Covid and the unemployment that followed because of it. Without this channel and my loyal supporters and Patrons I would not be in the position I am now to continue to create videos and help those along the way. It is because of you that we can still do that. Thank you 🙏
    What's next.. a 100K..? Hmm It doesn't matter really, I love what I'm doing and I've met subscribers who have become great friends. That's what's most important! While ever I'm enjoying myself, meeting wonderful people and being able to help others, I will always continue to crank out the vids.
    Kop Jai Der 🙏
    Thank you very much 😉

      By spending countless hours searching for remixes or covers that aren't detected by UA-cams copyright software.. sometimes I'll find a dozen possibilities, test them and maybe get one or two I can use. Just recently I spent the best part of a day finding about 8 tracks, tested them.. and all were detected. Couldn't use one. I guess most people don't have the patience.. but I like good music 😉
