Just did a new video of an original song. Any input is appreciated. This one is a little personal.

You know, I was prepared to not like this. I didn't want to like it. Except that it's fascinating, and now I can't get it out of my head.

I have no suggestions for you. You nailed it--whatever "it" is. Srsly.

Ryszard, thanks a lot. Glad you liked it. Worked really hard on this one. Appreciate your comments.

Don, thanks very much. I consider that a high compliment.

What an excellent tribute!

You are becoming a musician and a video expert! Great job on both!

I also had a flashback to my “good old days”!

Two thumbs up!

PS – excellent guitar chops also!

Another wonderful, truly unique offering.

You say, "a little personal," and I say for me as well, more than a little. All of your background videos and icons are etched on my memory... I saw Buddy Holly perform a week before he crashed. I bet you and I are almost exactly the same age. And I have also lost dear friends in probably much the same ways as you. Tear to my eye, and all that... Be Bop a lula.

Keep on truckin'.

Charlie,

I always enjoy your videos, this one included.

My favorite is still “You Make Me Wanna Move”.

Edit: I just watched "Waitin Around" for the first time. That one's a hoot too!

Mario, thanks a lot for watching and for your comments. I was hoping others could relate as well.

Brad, thanks a lot for watching and for your comments. Like you, I'm sure most of us have lost friends and family along the way. I'm 66 and have lost a lot of musician friends that I would have liked to have included in the video. But didn't have room or time to do all that I would have liked. Thanks again.

Thanks, Bob. 'You make me wanna move' may be my favorite as well. The 'Waitin' Around' is, as one my friend says, a little over the edge.

Charlie,

Top notch as always . . . I think it was said earlier but it also brought back memories of my own as well.

Charles,

This is the first time I've encountered your work. OMG. Just listened to and watched "You Make Me Wanna Move." KICK. ASS. MIX. And that was over my LITTLE speakers. I've never heard such solid bottom end out of them, and I listen to a LOT of program material through them. I'm in awe.

I know nothing about modern video production, so what you are doing is sorcery to me. Yeah, it's cheesy, but you're very good at it and it WORKS. Don't change a thing.

BTW, I figured out what "it" is. The two videos are reminiscent of Mike Nesmith's Elephant Parts, the seminal video album upon which MTV was based. Yup, the ex-Monkee is responsible for that, and it made him quite the wealthy man. (It runs in the family; his mother invented White Out.) Half comedy and half music, this volume is virtually unknown.

Search on "Elephant Parts video" and you'll find the various tracks on youtube. But "Sunset Sam" (may not be the actual title--it's listed on youtube as "Cruisin'") is what brought the comparison to your work, both music and video, to mind. Watch and enjoy.

R.

Whoever told you that “Waitin’ Around” was a little over the edge is being a little too “PC”, (aka politically correct). You vids are fun, and you should continue to do whatever you think is good. You’re batting 100% as far as I can see.

Danny, thanks. Glad it stirred some memories.

Robh, thanks for watching and for your input.

Ryszard, thanks again. Your comments are very kind. I saw Bob's thread and will check out Nesmith. Was aware that he was a Monkee and knew he was in business but not of these accomplishments.

Bob, thanks again. Going to check out your thread next.

ZeroZero, thanks a lot. That lady is just a friend not my wife. She'a a DJ at my home town's radio station. She loves western swing. Very nice person and singer.

I could watch your vids every day.
I happened to notice the pic of Jerry Lee Lewis. I didn't think he was dead...
Nice work.

Charlie, in case you missed it, the words "Sunset Sam" in my previous post are a link to a Nesmith video. I hope you decide to watch. I think you'll enjoy it.

Hi, Charlie -

Love your sense of humor in your songs; keep doing tongue-in-cheek, it serves you well. I loved listening to Years and Years Ago. Went back and listened to I Want To Touch You, also.
