Wow the ocean was pretty loud. The beach I went to was much smaller than I expected, and the waves were coming up almost to my feet, so maybe that’s why. But better than crazy wind I suppose. It was a little scary because I had no way to monitor my sound or tell how the stream was doing, so just kind of had to pray and jam.
This beach is like 5 mins away from my home, but with moving gear, setting up, then cleaning up sand and stuff afterwards, it was about a half hour of upright time both ways. I was a total zombie the whole rest of they day, and even still off kilter the day after. Kind of rough. I might only be able to do this if I get outside help.
I’m playing my Tenor Mele Ukulele today because it already has some battle scars. The Baritone is too nice to take out by the sand and sea, but I would totally use that for like, restaurant gigs if they ever come. I think I gotta practice with the Tenor a bit more regularly. It’s also a great ukulele.
Also could only choose one platform to stream on, so I streamed on twitch and I’m reuploading the set here. Sorry, doesn’t look like chat was saved on the video. Couldn’t figure out how to set up my rig so I could see chat and capture me and the beach either. Idk, learning experiences. If anyone has ideas please share!
