Live Short Set at The Cup Coffeehouse with Video

 The Cup Coffeehouse in Wantagh, NY has a nice window at the front stage area showing the train station.  There's a great vibe in there.  I played a short set at the open mic this month, August, 2026.  Here's a link:

TicTok Live Stream Surprises

 I wasn't live streaming on TikTok but I was posting short videos.  I wanted to live stream but they had requirements of many more followers and views than I had so I thought that it would be a very long time before I had those numbers and so I had no plans to live stream on TikTok.  

 I was surprised to see a notification to press a button to go live.  I didn't actually believe it, I thought that after tapping that button it would then deny me to live stream and inform me about what statistics my channel would need to actually go live.  So without much hope, I tapped it and it seemed to be live streaming from my phone.  Since it was my first time, I wasn't even sure if I actually was live streaming but after a while I realized that I was and that was a nice surprise.

There was a chat on the screen and there were updates appearing indicating viewers and it seemed to be updating more frequently than any other platform that I've used for live streaming.  I even responded to chat messages and it worked so well that I did it for 2 hours!

I talked about my singles and played acoustic guitar and sang with my single release tracks for accompaniment and what else is amazing is that there appeared an AI description of the content of the stream, and it was accurate!  Not only that but when I made a little change and was discussing how I was learning to read music and the issues with how it was not easy to learn that earlier, the AI updated the subject and again, it was accurate.   

So the surprises were that I was actually able to live stream, that I live streamed, that I had viewers, and that they chatted with me and that there were AI updates to the subject of the stream and they were accurate.  That's a lot of surprises.  Hope to see you in the chat on one of my live streams, see the links on this blog on the upper right for the icons to click or tap to take you to those platforms.  I will on Instagram, X/Twitter, and this blog, when I plan on going live in the future since I now know that I can. - Jay Nocats
