Another interesting observation... your video/song in which you used line drawings to create the sax player was the catalyst that triggered my decision to get serious about combining my hobbies into one! That video/song of your was so entertaining and just plain FUN TO WATCH that I knew immediately as soon as I saw it that you were onto something big! Since Pat said this on the forum, so many people have asked me about this track that I'm taking the unusual step of re-posting the link to it. It was a few years ago and obviously there are a lot of new faces here now, so I hope that some of you are seeing it for the first time. PLAY GUITAR - GET RICHCheers, ROG.

ROG,
I'm really glad you gave this a second run, too. It's brilliant!!!!! Really clever and done so really well. Everything about this says "professional" - writing, video, arrangement, mix, singing... you name it... top notch through and through!
Regards,
Noel

floyd what Floyd said! Man, I love EVERYTHING about that song/video! It's funny, upbeat, catchy, clever, well-played... and your choice of pictures to portray the lyrics was downright inspired! I had forgotten about the chorus line of dancers... brilliant! If I made a list of my top 10 favorite songs EVER from the forum, this song would definitely be on it! Thanks for taking a few minutes to re-post it... I'm sure the newcomers to the forum will get a kick out of it! (and so does this old-timer)

Ha! Just watched it again, and it's still just as funny!
I just noticed the second time thru that you've included an ad for your music-prof service at the end... what a great idea!
When you consider how the cost of paid advertising can make it cost prohibitive to promote a business, then compare that to the fact that youtube videos stay online forever and it doesn't cost anything to keep them active! It's a no-brainer to append ads to the end of interesting videos!

floyd Many thanks, Floyd. Pleased that it can still make you laugh! It's basically the story of my life and why I needed a "Plan B". ROG,

Noel Hi Noel. Glad you got something out of it second time around. Many thanks for watching again and the very kind comments. What Floyd said! Man, I love EVERYTHING about that song/video! It's funny, upbeat, catchy, clever, well-played... and your choice of pictures to portray the lyrics was downright inspired! I had forgotten about the chorus line of dancers... brilliant!

I'm sure the newcomers to the forum will get a kick out of it! (and so does this old-timer) Hi Pat. After you mentioned this track in your own post, everyone was asking what it was. I'm honoured that it contributed to your venturing into animation big time, particularly when I see the quality of the stuff you're producing these days. With regard to the reference at the end for our music-prof services, yes, it's the only way we can afford to do it, because all our instructional videos are free. More and more people are choosing to learn on-line these days. It's never as good as one-to-one lessons, but we can reach a much bigger audience and being free everyone can use it. At the last count, we had views from 88 different countries! Cheers, ROG

Wow! This reinforces a comment I recently made in a different thread about the unselfish choice you've made to use your time and talent to help others! I have great respect for that! You're a good man, Rog! I feel honoured to know you and inspired by the things you do! 88 different COUNTRIES!! That adds up to a lot of people you've helped without asking them for anything!

Very cool guitar, and definitely a vocal like Tom Petty!

We loved it the first time and have lost none of that love this time around....
We listen to Petty all the time so this just fits right in...cool.
The video is a clinic in how videos don't have to overwhelm one to be
effective. Just strip them down to the essentials and if you have
something to showcase it will work...and, man, does it ever. The thing
is hypnotic!
And the audio end of the production is brilliant -- vocals, lyric, arrangement
and a production that grabs you from the get go.
FUN!!!!

Hi Rog,
I like very much this song.
There's a rousing rhythm, the solos are very melodic and you have a captivating voice.
Congratulations. Christian
