Great song and video Lynn.  Where'd you get all those video clips?  Very nicely done.  I particularly like the chorus on this one, and the percussion is fabulous.

Hi Walt, thanks for having a peek.  I just googled free video clips and free public domain videos, and this is where I found them.  There are many good sites out there.  Except for the bass drum, the percussion came from the Latin percussion pack for EZ Drummer.

One of your best Lynn. But I have a couple of questions WRT warming. Q1: Why is it that the north poll was a shallow sea 65 million years ago at the end of the Jurassic era? (read, no ice cap) Q2: Is it warmer now than it has been in the past before modern man? (nope, not by a long shot) And here the kicker :-) Q3: Why are the ice caps on Mars getting smaller? SUVs? (Nope...) No disrespect, again one of your best, just think about the questions raised, and there are many more. But I limited it, brevity is the soul of wit ;-)

Robbie, I appreciate you taking the time to view this, and I appreciate your comments.  In regard to warming - I graduated from KU in '75 with a major in physical geography and a minor in geology.  Even then this subject was controversial.  I was taught that global warming was happening, though, there were numerous reasons for the cause.  I was also taught that some scientists believed that we're still in the last ice age, just that right now, we're living in an interstice of the ice age.  There have been four major advances of the ice and four retreats.  As for Q1, the north pole wasn't in its present position, and the atmosphere was radically different.  There was little free oxygen to protect the earth from UV and other space related causes.  Plus, there was much more vulcanism then, and the surface of the earth was hotter.  Q2 was just answered.  As for Q3, there are many  more SUV's than you realize on the surface of Mars.  Thanks for the thought provoking questions which really have no definitive answer.  Thus, I avoided assigning blame for global warming;  I merely point out that it's happening.  I usually err on the side of caution, and if humans have anything to do with it, then we have the power to affect change.

I don't care about the environment....just kidding! Great song as always Lynn. I need to learn how to do videos. It looks like fun! Great job.

"The higher we go, the further we fall".  I like this a lot Lynn!  Like the percussion and the guitar.  And the video was cool.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the video advice Lynn.  I'm always afraid to download stuff and use it in my own work, or make cover songs.  I worry about legal attacks.  But after your comment I googled a bit and found there is quite a lot of public domain stuff available, way more than I thought there would be.  A lot of it is junk, and it can be hard to find the thing you're looking for, but you proved with your video that it can be done.  So you've turned on a new lightbulb in my brain.  Thanks Lynn. :)

@ Clint- thanks for your comments!  You'd be amazed at what you can do with Sony Vegas.  Your music is a natural for this.
 
@ ralphwiggum - thanks for your reply.  I enjoyed listening to your songs, too.
 
@ champchas - I appreciate your comments.  I've enjoyed your blues numbers that you've posted here and hope to see more.
 
@ Robbie - thanks, pal. You caught the spirit.
 
@ Walt - thanks again.  I'd love to see what you can do with your music.  It took several hours to mine through all the chaff, but they are there if you have the time to look for them.
