I loved every aspect of it... I even laughed out loud when the sax player started lying on his back... exactly what you'd expect from the imaginary person singing the song.

Right from the beginning it reminded me of Tom Petty's "INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN"

How did you make that video??? That was AWESOME!! I liked it so much I want to make that exact same video and apply to a different song!

And apart from the clever video, the song itself really ROCKED! I tapped my foot from start to finish! (but the video really did add a lot)

Final summary, this project reinforced what I already suspected: "Rog.. you ain't right!" LOL! (just the way we like ya!)
You are a very creative and intelligent man,and it shows in everything you do. Thanks for posting!

Well, Pat, what can I say?

I always regard you as a man of wit and perception, so your views are always most valued.

The video? I got involved with video animation in the days when I did music for advertising and found it fascinating. Back in those days we were working on Amiga 4000s with a Video Toaster card added and they cost a fortune. This was done quite simply using Serif Draw Plus, Serif Movie Plus and even the old and trusted Windows Paint, which is a highly under-rated program.

The sax player was just a lucky break. Sometimes things just work straight out of the box. Basically, I tried to imagine what I'd do if I could actually play the sax and modelled him on that.

Anyway, many thanks for the detailed review and I'm so pleased it raised a laugh.
