Here's my first music video with a song that I just wrote and recorded. I would certainly like some feedback on this one. It is a subject that had been written about and rehashed many times over and hopefully, I added a line or two that is different. I recorded most of this with FL Studio. Mastered it with Adobe Audition. Harmony with BiaB. Film editing was done with Sony Vegas Movie Studio. It's on youtube. URL below. Thanks for your input. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Diimqnpa6IM

Thanks a lot, Mac. Your words make my day, week and month.
"Ain't had nuthin' to eat in two, three hours."
Filming this video made me realize that I need to lay off the food for five, six hours. :-)
"BTW you got a monkey on yer back..."
Thanks, I had the strangest feeling there was something on my back! :-)

Hi Charlie,
I usually just lurk the forums here and seldom post, but your video was
just too good for me to move on without telling you how much I enjoyed it.
Super job! Loved it, loved it, loved it.
Cheers
Jim

Charlie;
That was top notch! What a job, from concept to completion. This forum is so much fun. When you ain't got nuttin' going on, you just click on something someone else posted, and it really makes one' night. I'm still smiling.

Danny, thanks a lot. Glad you liked it.
Jim111, thanks for the listen and for viewing the video. You need to comment more often. Your words are great!
Poppa, thanks a lot. Just paid all my bills and I am financially embarrassed so I'm 29 dollars short. :-) Thanks also for your comments on YouTube.
Gene, glad you got a chuckle out of the video. Thanks a lot.
Alyn, thanks so much for your kind words. I always love to read your reviews. Keep trying on FL Studio. I've found it to be a great program. I'm still a little green with it. Was able to record the vocal this time with it but there's a lot to learn. I like the program because it seems to be so stable.
Noel, thanks a lot for listening and for your comments. I always love a standing ovation (few and far between).

It’s all been said.
I loved it. Super job on the song and the video.

Charlie The whole thing is utterly brilliant, top to bottom. Solid gold entertainment. I loved it. Also, you've got this recording thing pretty well licked. Now, you'd better be careful. You could end up going viral and end up rich and famous. You will remember us back here now won't you?  John
