I'd love to know what you  used to create the video, and how you sync'd the lyrics...         
Very nice...                                            

Hey Frank - Thanks for checking it out. I used Cyberlink Power Director - real inexpensive and intuitve enough that I didn't read anything - just put the video together. Text is placed in relation to the image clips - you can specify the duration. I was just sort of winging it - picked photos I liked, placed them where Iwanted them (for the most part) and added the text. I am sure the software can do very complicated things - I just wanted to try it out and it turned out kind of nice.
 

Hey, thank YOU - the tweaks really made a big difference - that and your postive energy!
 

Hey Manny, along the lines of what Herb mentioned with the possibility of viral and all that.

If I were you I'd consider making someone at Harpo Production aware of this.

Perhaps first secure a deal with Youtube for sharing advertising revenue... and then cross your fingers and hope that someone like Oprah blogs about how powerful the message you are sharing is.

I'm not kidding.


all the best,
mike

One of your many masterpieces is now on the launching pad.  Outstanding song (and video is right there with it).  I can think of about 30 people right now that i can send it to who will reap needed healing from it. 
Herb did a fine job remastering. 

Such a beautiful song.

Hey Manny
I remember this tune and how impressed I was with the performance and production. This song really is a gem when it comes to your lyrics and arrangement. Production reminds me of a piece that would of been produced by the great T Bone Burnett.  What a perfect voice for the lead vocal. Video really adds to the story line. EXCELLENT piece!

Hey – thanks to all that took the time to take a look/listen and comment.
 
Mike/ Herb – I love your optimistic outlook – I do agree that the message is strong and the subject is certainly in the public eye at the moment. Hey, you never know and thanks for the positive energy. I think I am likely to go viral way before the video.
 
Tim – yeah, the music, lyrics and for better or worse the playing is me. Rorie was the hired gun (she’s great!). And all the gray becomes a blue . . . I like that also, thanks for noticing.
 
Rick – thanks for checking it out yet again. Herb really brought the vocals out  - it made a big difference. I’d be thrilled to hear it made one person feel a bit better. Music can be powerful medicine.
 
Guitarpima, Kev, Robby – thanks for your time, energy and kind words!
 
 

Hey Warren, 

Thanks for checking it out and for the kind words. Yeah, at our core, people aren’t much different now than they were way back when it all started. I’ll hold back and check myself – no waxing philosophical here and simply say I am glad that you found this moving at times. Can’t get a better comment than that!

Thanks James - I appreciate the listen and positve feedback!

Wow Manny , perfect from start to finished . I really enjoyed the song as a whole , all of you did a great job creating this song and video .
Vocal really made this song shine , great mix !

Very cool song !
Radio

Love this tune! It's great. Should be on some soundtrack at the very least, but honestly, could be so much more than just a soundtrack. Love it just the way it is. No crits.

Robby – thanks again, although I am not quite sure who THE Manny is. I'm just one of many.

Radio – thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. – I agree, Rorie did a great job and Herb made sure she was heard.

Rhynosynth – hey, you’ve got to try new things. Sometimes it works out (sometimes it sure doesn't). Thanks for the kind words. 

Darin – yeah, I’d love to see it move around and get heard, odds are slim but thanks so much!
Bob – thanks – a message song – my first I guess and I enjoyed putting observations into a tune. It was great getting help from a forum member – one more reason to stay involved here!

Five thumbs up!

BIABD,  +1 on your comment
Scotty,  thanks for listening and for the abundance of thumbs

Janet,  thanks and okay, I’ll let you know when the world gets hold of this but it might be a while (I’ll call you from the sun-room at the nursing home – if they let me make calls).
