    Help raise money for Parkinson’s and get yourself some great music at the same time. It’s a WIN WIN.

    One of the tracks is mine. It is called „Park You Too“. I was approached by Gerald Ganglbauer to see if I would like to include „Park You Too“ in this album, but there was one condition.

    I had to convert the track to a DUET where one person has Parkinsons and the other doesn’t.

    Well I knew which one I was, so I needed to find someone that did not have Parkinsons.

    Julia Jockelson came to the rescue and our new version of „Park You Too“ was added to the album called „Gerald Ganglbauer’s Parkinsong Duets“.

    If you would like to buy this CD [in the UK], please message me.

    Thanks for listening.

    carmen-simple2

    Have you ever felt that your life
    Isn’t going into the direction you want

    And your dreams and all your beliefs
    They seem to fade away with time

    Let them show you what they can teach you
    Don’t waste your time with stupid things

    Be aware that this life might be short
    And maybe ends before you know

    [bridge]

    Then change … your way … and love … will stay

    [chorus]

    The only thing you need is trust
    And just a little bit of joy and lust

    If you not want to fade away
    Like washed out colors when they fade to grey

    Whenever you feel down then think about the luck you have
    And do not hesitate and thank for all the bliss

  • Parkinson weltweit im Radio

    Projekt. Gerald Ganglbauer will mit Songs gegen die Krankheit kämpfen.

    logo_start

    Graz/Wien. Den Einfall, berichtet Gerald Ganglbauer, habe er auf dem Weltparkinsonkongress in Portland 2016 gehabt: „Dort kam mir die Idee, dass Rockstars mit uns Betroffenen gemeinsam Duette singen könnten, um der Welt zu demonstrieren, dass wir Kranken immer noch Menschen sind.“

    Ganglbauer, Autor, Herausgeber von Literaturzeitschriften und ehemaliger Teilzeit-Australier, entwickelte eine „coole Website“, um sein Projekt vorzustellen, „und erwartete, dass sich sofort Tausende beteiligen würden, wie damals im Jahr 1984, als Bob Geldof Band Aid auf die Beine stellte.“ Ganz so leicht ging es dann nicht: Zwei Jahre dauerte es, bis Ganglbauer, selbst Parkinson-Patient, seine Musiker zusammen hatte. Die Künstler, die sich für ihn gemeinsam mit Parkinson-Betroffenen ins Tonstudio begaben, kommen aus vielen Stilrichtungen, von Singer-Songwritern wie Jörg Veselka bis zu Rockbands wie Badhoven oder den Grazer Formationen Spring and the Land und The Base. Ihnen gemeinsam sei „ihre Leidenschaft für Musik und Anteilnahme an unserem Schicksal“.

    Am morgigen Welt-Parkinson-Tag sollen nun die entstandenen „Parkinsonduets“ im Radio gespielt werden. Ganglbauers Ziel ist, dass sich weltweit Betroffene bei ihren (vorinformierten) Radiostationen einen Song aus dem online erhältlichen Album wünschen. Damit „klatschen wir gleich drei Fliegen mit einem Streich“: Das Album werde gekauft, durch das Airplay die Botschaft verbreitet, die anfallenden Tantiemen gehen an den Verein Parkisonline.

    Selbst erhielt der Grazer die Diagnose Parkinson übrigens 2006, da war er 48 Jahre alt. „Ich dachte erst, dass sich nur das Alter bemerkbar machte, als meinen Freunden erste Symptome auffielen. Wie die meisten, denen man sagt sie hätten frühen Parkinson, verweigerte ich anfangs die Diagnose.“ Mittlerweile ist er Botschafter für Parkinson-Selbsthilfegruppen. (tes)

    Then insert some old tube

  • Bandcamp’s mission is to create the best possible service for artists and labels to share and earn money from their music, and for fans to discover and enjoy it.

    We believe that music is an indispensable part of culture, and for that culture to thrive, artists—no matter the size of their audience—must be compensated fairly and transparently for their work. Without this belief, our mission would be meaningless, and it’s why we’ve built our business around a model that puts the artist first.

    When you buy something on Bandcamp, whether it’s digital music, vinyl, or a t-shirt, ticket or cassette, 80-85% of your money goes to the artist, and we pay out daily. The remainder goes to payment processor fees and Bandcamp’s revenue share, which is 10-15% on digital items, and 10% on physical goods.
