About Rev. Barry Willie Black
Been singing off and on since I was pretty young, less than 10 as I recall, choirs in church and school, like so many folks, and then in late 2006 I decided to give it a go at recording some of the songs of my life for a Christmas present for my family "back home" that I could deliver, without being able to be there.
The rest of the CD projects I have recorded masters of over the last 14 years ar

Hello, The list of subscribers just continues to grow.
Thank you... for listening and joining.
Blood & Roses... has made the top 20 most listened to songs I have posted on N1M! I have created a release especially for my fans here on N1M, with a funding opportunity on IndieGogo. I have also added a link to Patreon.

I am now recovering from COVID-19 in a motel room. It was mild by comparison to the experiences of most others who have contracted it. I may have been able to avoid it by keeping my mask on more often, although the only place I wasn't wearing one when in public is the local club where I sing, so it was probably bound to happen, given enough time lag in receiving a vaccine.
On a much more "musical" note...
I am still working through songwriter and publisher attribution and hope to have more music available through the normal outlets.
Since I have been in this motel room I have not had opportunity to record because of the acoustics, but I did have opportunity to archive approximately 2200 covers I recorded and they will be sent to my family to archive, with the intent that they never get lost, even if I don't get them released before my time on earth expires.
I have added links below to provide them to folks that may wish to help support me more directly.

Hello,
Not the sort of note I like to start on. It has come true... I have COVID-19.
Tested late in the game once I had lost my sense of taste and smell, because I live with many of the symptoms all the time because of what has disabled me for years.
Fortunately, I have probably got extra antibodies because I have had some really deadly flu along the way, which I obviously have also survived.
Also fortunately, I have not become congested, as most have who have contracted this flu, so singing has not been impeded as much by that as by social distancing.
Unfortunately, I have had to move and lost my software company business partner due largely to the pandemic and I have been operating from a motel room instead of my lab and studio.
The words of my virus parody "Virus Lockdown Blues" have come true, but as my sons are always welcome to point out, we are survivors.
Stay healthy, keep your distancing, and for the sake of all, wear appropriate masks when you need to be out in public.
Those that pray, please pray that I have a new home and studio soon.
Thank you for your patronage,
Rev. Barry Willie Black

Here's one from 2019 I didn't share yet. A favorite Merle Haggard song from his latter years, that became one of my favorites among the hundreds he wrote and performed. It is said that he had over 300 more songs already written when he passed.
I have need of sending out a donation button so I can complete the legal work for over 240 releases and get them releases on iTunes and elsewhere. I have ten paid for but need small amounts to finish them, and fortunately, those are the newest recording sets.
I have already worked through to having one of the "public Domain Project" releases pushed out that far since I am doing it all manually except for the help I get by having my tracks released through CDBaby Pro.
If you are on this list, please be reminded that I export this list to MailChimp to send from there as well, so in this case, but not all, you will be receiving a second email with almost identical content so I can use MailChimp to help keep this list tiddy.
There is a donation widget, that will connect you to a PayPal window where you can donate one-time, or set up a recurring amount. In either case, please not to me the intention of the donation if there is a specific reason for the donation other than help with those fees. Food money is one need, and beer money & my meds, and for now I have the roof over my head due to some of my many other endeavors.

Haven't posted a recording for a while... Here's a rough cut of a classic for y'all! Homeward Bound!
Haven't posted a recording for a while... Here's a rough cut of a classic for y'all! Homeward Bound! no mastering, no nothing but me singing one I have known since the 60's.
Wherever you are tonight, I hope it feels like home.

In the last 11 years plus a little, I have recorded about 2200 covers +/-
Most have never been released except when CDBaby still had their version of a store.
I have a fan in Denmark that has purchased every Bob Dylan cover as a single even when he could have had the whole release for less. Pretty cool, I think.
I am writing today to announce that I have begun the process to finish proper licensing and digital distribution of about 20+ CD projects that have already had the fees paid but that I have not had time ti finish and get on Itunes, etc.
Any artist knows they have need of some capital to pre-pay royalties, because in this modern world, although it is not the law, it is the rule of the industry that those are paid in advance to some degree. CDBaby still helps with that, while also collecting royalties and sending them to my PayPal account. Gotta love that CDBaby and Google have teamed to make the sound licensing stuff work across all these "platforms". It is a huge quagmire, they have made simple if we use there services.
The point:
I will be starting to run IndieGoGo campaigns for each of the CD projects that are already in "fees paid" status since early 2017.
All I need is the amounts required to prepay royalties to the songwriters and publishers for each, which amounts to less than $500 for each project. Each campaign will have a "Be a Producer" option if you chose to cover the base cost, and the targeted amount for each project. Once they are at the place where they are fully funded they can be left open for others at the lower reward levels indefinitely.
If you would like to have your name as Producer on any of those projects, just go do it, and we will connect immediately and finish that release to all the biggest world-wide digital distribution outlets. (I already paid for that stuff!)
I have attached my upload today of a Beatles track I covered in 2016. Enjoy!
Thanks for taking the time out to enjoy what I have enjoyed so very much to make.
