How About Spanish, Then?

[bellowbelle]

My daughter is a fan of the Columbian pop star Juanes. We went to his recent concert in Boston at the Orpheum -- it was a lot of fun!

 

My Spanish verbalization needs work...though, I am presently taking a Speed Spanish course (kinda flubbing my way through it, anyway).

will probably not remain a permanent link or file, but I just made it today so I can e-mail it to my daughter (who is much more fluent in Spanish than I am). It's of my latest practice session. Needs work, of course.

 

My Gosh...I don't think I could ever perform much in front of REAL people...thank God you are all only little pixels and stuff in my computer, since I'm such a fool!!

 

OOPS ... sorry... edited to fix the link. I'd left out the 'i' in 'cities.'

Muy bien Wendy. Su fuego español derretirá la nieve muy pronto!

Menciono su canción en la página de canciones registrada?

I THINK I've got this one figured out!! (I'm going to melt the snow in Spain very quickly? I think?) And I get the next line more definitely, about Menciono, etc..

 

Thanks, too. But...for the time being, please wait, don't yet include it, while I figure out more clearly the little annoying details of copyright law.

 

I am not worried about my web page and mp3 file as created so far, and I feel that I am within 'fair use,' and I am enough of a 'little people' that it's obvious I am not making money from the song or affecting its copyright. (And, I'll probably not keep it posted for more than a week or so.)

 

But, I hesitate to make it part of a more 'official' or permanent record (the recorded tune link page) because then it might be said that I used the song without permission, violated copyright, and all that. (Really, it would be odd if anyone cared in this case, I think, but...you never can tell!)

 

Copyright is always 'grey area,' in my opinion. But, I fear that if I lay down a 'permanent' record of me doing this current song hit that someone may choose to pick on me and make it a very UNgrey area!

 

Maybe someone here knows more about the copyright laws...USA ones, I guess.

 

 

As for the file as it is -- there are a few slightly 'off' spots where my fingers didn't hit the E-minor chord just right, but it was 'ok' enough so I left it that way, since I was having trouble enough getting through the song with no mistakes.

 

I transposed the song from E Major to C Major -- easier for me.

Hmm, well, I did remove my MP3 file and the links from my public page. Sorry about the 'false alarm' or whatever.

 

I am too bothered about some of the copyright details. I guess if anyone really wants to hear the file, e-mail me and I'll send it...but, hardly worth such pursuit, maybe!

 

Oh well...off to the Easter stuff, now...Happy Easter, to those of you who celebrate it.
