That Ren video has been posted a few times - for, I feel, a good reason. It is great! Not my genre or taste but I really appreciate the artistry.

I've mentioned this YouTube Channel (The Story Of Sound) in prior posts - definitely think it's worth a look. Anyway, this installment was very interesting... Comments? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alh16ySeHew

Same happens for me. Click download/install and it seems like it installs but the update is still there as though it is not installed.

Paypal sounds like a good idea for plugin / software purchases - I'll have to try that going foward! One thing I've ALWAYS done - and highly recommend if your credit card offers it - is to use a Virtual Card number for ANY subscription service. That allows you to set the maximum amount that can be charged, and in the case of those pesky annual subscription charges, you can set the allowed amount to $1 after the first charge. Then when they try to renew, it fails, and they email you, decide if you want to re-up. If you do, just adjust the allowable charge amount so it goes through.

I think she had the copyrights (correct me if wrong) and has been re-releasing all of the early albums as "Taylors Version" (brilliant move IMO). Maybe Big Machine realized they would eventually make less and less so decided to give up, take what they could get, and sell back to her?

Agree on 'I Can't Help Falling In Love With You' but the other parts are foreign to me - but they are beautiful. A little "Ave Maria" in there?

His *What makes this song great* series is an absolute gem. Worth watching every one them!

The part I saw he talked about his career as a producer and musician, some stories about famous artists he's met, played alongside and talked to, some music clips, interview highlights , etc.

He hit it yesterday late afternoon Eastern time. Was fun to watch. I think he was on about 3-4 hours, but I happened to catch the last hour or so and watched on and off until he hit 5M.

His "What makes This Song Great" series is absolutely wonderful, his interviews of artists are fabulous, his music theory videos are very informative, etc., etc. Highly recommended. Just my opinion...

Even if you're not a piano/keyboard player, this is worth a look. I've been following it for years and they have really upped their game in terms of technology - so easy to peruse the contestant performances, biographies, etc. It's amazing (and humbling) to watch these young folks do amazing things at the piano... :^) https://cliburn.org/competitions/2025-cliburn-competition

Cool!

His "Hi Ren" video/song is autobiographic and absolutely brilliant - definitely worth watching
