OT: Shameless Promotion of my Little Sister

[KirkD]

Well men, my youngest sister, Carla Beck, is set to release her next song to Country and Western stations across Canada next week. She's trying to generate some advance promotion for her song by posting it on YouTube. My apologies to y'all but the song is about Canadian girls. Also, no reflection on girls who aren't Canadian ..... 'course, since I'm married to one, I think they're smokin' hot (at least my wife is, but I suppose all men think their wife is snarlin' good). Still, I think you'll enjoy the song. If you like it, post a comment and give it a good rating. Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NewavYMHN9Q

Some inside information ...... there is one spot in the song where a man says 'Oh No!'. That's me. It's probably the closest I'll ever get to singing on the radio.l

You old Geezer,
you're a star!

[Rusty]

Sounds great Kirk. I hope she goes far with it. Is this her first attempt? How many more songs has she recorded?

Wait a minute was Kirk the one sitting on the edge of the pool?

[Blaine]

Tell her how proud we are of her, eh?

[KirkD]

I emailed her a link to this thread so she can read y'all's comments. She's released a couple before. One almost made it to the top 40 here in Canada (Lookin' for my Cowboy).

[mescalero1]

You know,...................
Them Canadian gals are pretty good looking,
I'm single.................... Naw, bad idea.

[claybob86]

Great song! Lots of talent runs in your family, Kirk!

[J Miller]

I listened to the song and liked it quite a bit. It sounded more country than what's coming out of American country singers of late.

Is this song part of an album? If so what's the chance of getting an autographed copy?

Hey, it don't hurt to ask ... right?

[KirkD]

Joe, it is part of a larger album. I could easily get you an autographed copy. I'm seeing her again in a few weeks. PM me with your mailing address.

Oh yeah, you gotta PM on the way. And thanks a big bunch!

It sounds good to me Kirk, good singing and a good video.

[madman4570]

I thought she sounded really Great.
My wife and daughter liked it a lot also.(they said Great job Carla)
Great lyrics,Great voice,even the video was really
good.Those Canadian women all looked pretty darn good too.
I put that last line in after they left the room.
Tell Carla she has a winner there, Kirk

[Modoc ED]

She's got a nice/good/easy-to-listen-to voice and she sung a catchy tune. I don't see why that song wouldn't make it into the top-40. Heck, maybe even the top-10.

My only advice to her would be to drop the "roadie" who butted in with the "Oh no".

[kimwcook]

I don't have time to listen, I'm at work. I'll listen to it tonight. Good on her. You go sister.

[mescalero1]

No!
She has to keep the roadie, so all of us here at leverguns can say we know a genuine singing star.

[piller]

She has a good voice and the song reminded me of the type of country music I grew up with.
Just a suggestion, maybe she could try a remake of that Irish woman, Mary Duff's song "Heartbreaker". She has the right type of voice for it, and that song needs to be released in North America.

[RKrodle]

That was really good, I wish her luck with her career. If she puts anymore up on youtube please let us know.

[gamekeeper]

Kirk, what's the album called? I'd like to see if I can buy a copy in the UK.

I love that pure "Country" voice!

[KirkD]

My only advice to her would be to drop the "roadie" who butted in with the "Oh no".

Hey! You guys are just jealous because you didn't get to be in the song too!

Game Keeper: Here is her website http://www.carlabeck.ca/welcome.html It looks like you can order a CD online. Thanks for the support! She's also working on getting her songs on iTunes for downloading.

[jeepnik]

Hey Kirk. Live long country fan here. Sounds good to my old ears. I'll check out her web site. Tell her congrats.

[Sixgun]

I liked it and my better half did too. (she like C&W ) Kirk, Your parents must have found you at an orphanage because Carla is a "looker". We wish the best for her!----------Sixgun

[jeepnik]

Now if we can just figure out how to be her to autograph the CD's we bought.

[KirkD]

Well, I shore am thankful that I'm not a 'looker'! There were no orphanages where I grew up ...... they probably found me in a cardboard box on the front step.

[O.S.O.K.]

Outstanding! She's got a great voice! She'll do great with this one I'm sure.

[Malamute]

Kirk, I can't get the video to load on my dial-up connection. Will have to try it somewhere with high speed.



If it isnt impolite to say so, it's not just that you're prejudiced in favor of your wife, she's a very pretty lady.

[Ysabel Kid]

WOW - she has a great voice - and that song has got a fun beat. Darn near twisted my neck though following one of those shots in the video!

Malamute, that video would be a bear to try and download on dial up. I appreciate the compliment about my wife. I keep trying to tell her that it's not just my own opinion that she's a fine looking woman, but she just says that she's glad I think so, implying that love is blind.

[JReed]

I like it she has a good voice. I hope it does well. Heck maybe we could hear her down here south of the border some day.

[rjohns94]

Talented and beautiful. How is that seems to pool in one sibling ?

[pahunter]

Okay, I know where I'm going after The Great Obama and company are finished with the US! It's so refreshing to hear a patriotic song. Your sister has talent, can't wait till she hits it big in the US.

[Nath]

Nothing shamefull there pard'. Very refreshing and positive good for you "little sister".
Just don't grow a beard like big bro and stop wearing his clothes!

[okdee]

Mighty , Mighty Nice ! Pretty catchey tune! Well Done!

Cheers for the Canadian Girls!

they probably found me in a cardboard box on the front step.

Na! Most likely a discarded 1886 Winchester box

That might explain why I feel so 'at home' with old Winchesters.

On another note, I gave this link to my sister and she sent me an email. Here is what she said,

Hi Kirk,

I read all those wonderful comments.

Whoever wants a CD, just tell them to go to my website and order it from there. They can then send a separate email from my site and ask for their order to be autographed to whoever.

Thanks,

C

Looks like she'll autograph it to you personally. (JMiller, I've got yours in the works, so don't order one.)
