Ten years ago, I made my first music video with my former band WIFE and my friend and colleague, Mike Moors, who produced the video.  The song was recorded in Sonar 3, and the video was recorded on an inexpensive mini DV camcorder.  It was not shot in high resolution, as that format wasn't widely available then.  In honor of the tenth anniversary of this video, I remixed and remastered the music in X3 and ran the video through Sony Vegas 12 to rerender in hi def for Youtube.  The original video was originally submitted with a stereo soundtrack, but somewhere over the years, Youtube altered it to mono.  It is now back in glorious stereo.  Also, the video clips are slightly grainy because they have been rendered before, but they held up pretty well.
 
I had a lot of help with this song.  Here is the list of contributors.
Rich Reavis- Slide guitar
Mike Moors- Organ and video production
Jerry Reiter- Harmonica
Roger Fife- Bass
Karyl Wilson- Backup vocals
Laura Bryan- Backup vocals
Myself- Guitar and piano
 
I hope you enjoy this piece of old fashioned rock and roll.

Good song Lynn. I was listening on my iPad and it came across really well on this little unit. I will have to listen at home later.

Thanks, Mike, for the reply.  I used my Samsung tablet during the mixing stage of this song because I'm aware that more and more people are listening on tablets, cellphones, and laptops.  I believe it helped.

John, thank you for taking the time to listen and respond.  Yes, we had a blast that day even though we barely knew what we were doing.  Much credit goes to my friend Mike, who had experience with making United Way videos for the NFL back in the 90's.

Enjoyed it very much! Looks like you all were having a blast.  You have a very soulful vocal going on there, and I liked the slide guitar. Sound is clear and tight. Cool video! I like the song too.

Pat, thank you so much for your time and reply.  I'm glad it was fun for you!
 
Monty, I sure appreciate your kind words.  I'll bet you could sing this, too.  Rich is a very skilled guitarist, and he'll appreciate your comment.
