Thanks Phil for playing 2 of your own wonderful non lyrical tunes, just lovely!! Pure quality. What luck that the bushes and shrubs were on the corner and not just pure brick!! That would have knocked the cat biscuits over!!! Xx

Nothing so soothing as quiet water and flowing music. Not that I do but I won’t need therapy after hearing and seeing this. Just lovely. Hit it just right.

Good job there was a fair amount of foliage to absorb the contact and soften the blow to the bow of the boat, quite an eventful day.😮

Another very pleasant cruise Phil. Was sort of on the edge of my seat anticipating the crash, but as it turned out it was a narrow scrape and we can cruise again. Everyone enjoys your music, I have for a few years now, and I don't mind if you use a little AI to keep costs down if you can. Thank you Phil, take care.

Hey Phil. Very enjoyable cruise, and music, even with the not-so-great weather. Like they say about other fun activities, a bad day boating is better than the best day working. 😉 Very fortunate that your mishap was just a glancing blow and not a head on crash. Oh, and I miss seeing the cats. I've shown them to my two felines (Gandalf the Gray and Hobbit) but, as you can imagine, they weren't very interested... 🧐. 😂 Thanks for another one. Take care.

Oh no Phil, that must have been scary for you! At least there was no damage and the enging restarted easily. And there was a boat waiting to come through the bridge. Ah well, also well that ends well!

Greetings Phil hope you're good. According to the CRT the Ashby is fed water from the Coventry canal. Many vloggers not all generate their own music to accompany their vlogs. Like other commentators I like your original music rather than AI generated. I will say without doubt Phil your camera work is exceptional to capture the essence of the canals at water level. There are of course a free from copyright music list that UTube allow you to use and in particular a piece called Sleepy Jake which when played over water is brilliant. I heard from a CRT speaking administrator that the Ashby is on their dredging list. Of course its unlikely the whole length would be done ! ! On our cruises this summer a lack of dredging caused many many issues similar to the one you encountered at the bridge hole. Keep safe Phil and safe journey travels as best you can under challenging circumstances of the network.

Hi Phil. The first two songs are surely your own ones. I recognise the strings, voice-like and other sounds that you normally use. Personally, I feel music is going the same way as photography... it's too easy to create multiple renditions using AI without having built up some theoretical knowledge and muscle memory, but I understand what you're saying about the time it takes to make your own music. You do what works best for you. Your AI compositions have their own 'Phil' sound anyway :)

When musicians who do understand music use AI, the results will be mind blowing.

The first tune was...Medievil-Music TRANCE EMPEROR vol.2, Emulator, Majed Salih, Baroque Electronic music composer & producer. 5:02 The flying saucer 👀😂 Great show as usual, and hey! a close miss on that bridge, indeed 👍 Oh' edit...I rather like your ai music, it's got to the stage it's as good or better than much of the popular nonsense that's (well almost) forced down our throats.

@@NarrowboatJourneys Oh No! I though I was being a smart arse by using my phone to try and detect what it was (Shazam, name that tune) but now that I went on youtube to listen, Shazam is way off, I got Bach No.4 Prelude and also The Homelands Celtic Visions after that...which are closer but still wrong. Anyway, I tried...at least I noticed the flying saucer and contributed to the omment section, I say with jovial sarcasm 🤣

Thank you. I'm afraid the AI music is here to stay as recording and composing, whilst enjoyable, is far too demanding of my time. It's simply not time/cost effective. I also greatly enjoy making the AI music. It's the music I would make conventionally if there were no limitations. I don't hate you. ;-)

Hitting the brickwork would have been quite a bang. The boat weighs about 10 tons so even traveling slowly there's a lot of mass to stop.
