This 10:47 'video yarn' with a BiaB soundtrack is a cross between a slideshow and a silent movie as the story is told in written captions in between the still images, thus the bigger your monitor screen the easier it'll be to read.
It's the story of 4 adult human Immortals who never age and who though immortal are well below the level of gods. Starting in the 1940s two female Immortals fall completely in love with a male Immortal who famed for his amorous adventures gained the epithet 'the Casanova Rova', however just before the two 'sirens' fell for him he'd finally found the Immortal female of his dreams and thus he resists their advances. But how will the story end?
This yarn, never previously posted here, is a remix of a July 2023 YouTube post, which itself is a shortened version of the original 2022 post which was much longer and had a non-BiaB soundtrack. It had a different ending, plus was followed by a poor quality 1974 cassette tape recording of myself and a friend singing one of my 'art deco' period songs called "Casanova Rova" ~ 'art deco' meaning songs and other voice recordings which were inspired by art deco and music mainly from the 1920s to 40s. I made the video as an excuse to add the song at the end, but it was such a poor quality recording I finally deleted it and rewrote the video; then this new recording is due to the original having stereo channels the wrong way around after my PC had been hacked in 2022.
Re the BiaB soundtrack, "Venus Walks [prototype]" was originally titled "Venus Walks V1", which has since been redone and I was going to delete this one along with other single Style instrumentals I created when first using BiaB, but when I tried different instrumentals for this soundtrack none of them worked as well, so I've kept it. The 2nd soundtrack piece is "Baby Be Mine Tonight V1".
"Venus Walks [prototype]" is all 'Country Rock, Guitar Solo Pop Ba': Drums: Brian Fullen Bass guitar: Tobin Frank Organ: Gene Rabbai Rhythm guitar: Darin Favorite Lead guitar: Brent Mason
"Baby Be Mine Tonight V1" Piano: Solo Acoustic Piano Ballad ~ John Jarvis Bass guitar: Dreamy Pop Quintet ~ Tobin Frank Drums: Ditto ~ Brian Fullen Organ: Dreamy Pop Quintet ~ Gene Rabbai Tenor Sax Solo: Slow Country Pop w/ Tenor Solo ~ Mark Douthit Guitar Solo: Modern Groove Soloist, Brit Rock ~ Dave Cleveland
The original 2022 video was posted on YouTube and then on SoundCloud and 2 FB pages. The 2023 shorter version - the same as this one except that the stereo channels were reversed - was also posted on the latter, plus on MeWe and a 3rd FB page, but I've since deleted it from SoundCloud along with a few others of my BiaB compositions due to length as I don't pay for SC. The reason I mention this is that I recently discovered that this forum censored the word "a-s-s" - a bit OTT in itself - and so might censor this video due to one of the outfits worn by the two pursuers of the Casanova Rova, but no other site has ever had a problem with it. There's no nudity or profanity in the video.
PS: the only reason I decided to post this video is because while I have the vocal version of "Venus Twinkles" ready to post, the instrumental has kept on coming back to the top of the thread despite that I've posted 2 other instrumentals since then (early October) and I don't want the 2 versions to be confused.
