LIVIN' ON A PRAYER BY BON JOVI 500 SUBSCRIBERS SPECIAL: Trombone Collaboration Cover Version

For those of you who are subscribed to my YouTube channel SlideShow, you know that I have been uploading videos a lot more consistently lately. When I got home from tour last September, I decided I was really going to go all in on this YouTube channel and work really hard to make it grow. Since then, it has been my goal to upload once a week. Once I started uploading more frequently, the channel really started to take off!

On January 27, 2020 we hit 500 subscribers! This is halfway to our goal for the year of 1,000 subs. I had been wanting to make a video of Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi for a long time, as it is one of everyone's favorite karaoke songs. Playing up the line "Whoa, we're halfway there" seemed perfect for the 500 Subscribers Special video. I didn’t want to just do a video for this song... I wanted to make it a special one. I have been talking to other people for a while now about how I can include the SlideShow audience more, and create more interactions and engagement with the people watching the videos. It seemed natural to make Livin’ on a Prayer the video to do just that by accepting video submissions from our subscribers. This was really fun and I am so happy so many people participated in the video (we had 11 total)! I got to play with some old friends and made some new ones in the process. The SlideShow channel, and music in general, is all about connecting with people, and this project allowed us to do just that.

The video for Livin’ on a Prayer by Bon Jovi is on track to be one of our most successful videos yet. I definitely want to make more collaboration videos like this in the future! I want to thank each and every one of our collaborators for their contribution to the video: Paul Blakely, Kaylie Brooke, Adam Byars, Tao Guthrie, Guillermo Montecelo, Ben Owens, Guillermo Ramirez, Emily Rozanski, Peter Tijerina and Josiah Williams.

I hope you have as much fun watching it as I did making it! And please, if you haven’t yet, subscribe to the channel! https://www.youtube.com/slideshowtrombone

See you soon!
