The Cubbarooska Up Tempo Album/Music Video consists of a compilation of four versions of an AI generated song created using an online Lyrics to Music app in addition to Audacity and Movie Maker.  Still images were added for the video portion.  The Cubbarooska Album contains experimental soundtracks with fluctuations in tempo that were edited with Audacity.

January 2, 2026  Chrome's AI "Ask about this tab" vs Elfsight's "Virtual Assistant ChatBot" -- Similar Apps 

Several months ago, I added "Elfsight's Virtual Assistant ChatBot" to this website.  More recently,  Google Chrome has included the "Ask about this Tab" feature on the home page of its web browser.

Now, Chrome users can use the AI feature, "Ask about this tab", to further explore a previously visited web page from a prompt--typically to query or summarize similar to Elfsight's ChatBot.  That is, it can provide key points in summary format or answer specific questions about the contents. The "Ask about this tab" option can also  provide linking information and then follow specific links if asked. 

Similar to Chrome's Ask about this tab AI feature, Elfsight's Virtual Assistant ChatBot does not follow external links unless you first request a list of available link(s). Either app will summarize a  link's contents if you request it in your prompt (transcript example provided below).

In my experience, Elfsight's Virtual Assistant ChatBot summarization, etc., works well with PDF files that I've personally authored or compiled.  When external links outside my storage area are selected from within Elfsight's Virtual Assistant's reply, the user is taken directly to that url upon clicking it--with no summarization capabilities from those sources which are beyond the scope of the app (??? I will need to confirm this--things seem to be rapidly changing).

• One advantage with Chrome's Ask about this tab is that its content is more current since Google Chrome and Google Sites operate under the same roof so to speak.  Elfisight AI Virtual Assistant Chatbot is manually re-trained with new data (as directed by me) whenever I deem it necessary to do so--usually monthly because content updates and new posts are infrequent.

• An advantage of the Elfsight ChatBot is that it allows the viewer to query/peruse my enitre website rather than a single page at a time.  To put it another way, Elfsight Virtual Assistant's output is similar but covers everything on this website and is not limited to a single web page.

As with other AI models, Elfsight's Virtual Assistant is very thorough.  Here is a transcript of a recent conversation where Elfsight Virtual Assistant has been prompted to search, summarize, and then follow a related link contained within the reply and provide additional feedback concerning the linked file's contents:   Elfsight ChatBox Conversation (PDF file, 427 words, 2 pages).

January 2, 2026  Something Fun to Try -- AI Music Generation Apps (November 2, 2025 Post)

Unfortunately, everything can't remain front and center on the Home Page for very long.  Here's something that was immediately buried on the Sheet Music and Audio subpage ever since it was posted on November 2, 2025.   For me, this activity is solely for experimentation, but there are others who may find that these apps have greater utility than merely for personal entertainment.

Links to Tom’s AI Country andCountry Western Music listed by genre, title, and file format—click to play:   Country:   Old Bill v1 mp3| Sober Up Sam v1 mp3 | Sober Up Sam v2 mp3 (another vocalist with a bit more twang), and |Country Western:  Robot Cowboy v2 mp3

Background Info:  AI music generation apps—where the user furnishes the lyrics, genre, mood, and a brief description.  The AI app(s) will then generate several versions within a few seconds.  These are unique, one of a kind productions where the user is the lyricist and the melody, instrumentation, and vocalist(s) are AI generated.
