    Is that you playin' and singin' TG?

    Pretty good. Maybe someday I'll be able to play like that.

    It's an entertaining video.

    Thanks, Dennis. Yep, dat's me. I spent this summer learning video. This is almost like my term paper, though I had the guitar bit for several years. I came up with the lyrics and mashed it all together. I think it will probably continue to be a work in progress as every other video I've done, I've changed as I learned more.

    I like the guitar melody, and you have a good voice, very friendly and cordial sounding. Your voice is deeper than I expected. Avatars really suck at giving away voice hints.

      I had a lot of fun with this project. I picked up some animated images from Kurt during the summer and they came in really handy. THANKS KURT! I'm looking into getting audio recording hardware and software.

      I don't see myself as much of a singer. I've got a very narrow range though it was enough for this tune. But I do enjoy playing and writing. You can do so much with synthesizers these days. It's almost like you don't really need to play.

      In the 80s movie Wayne's World where they ask the audience what they thought of the movie, a quote from Garth is in order here. "I'm just glad you didn't think it sucked."

        Narrow range...that's my problem. I couldn't carry a high note even if I did manage to hit it.

        There's a house next door to me for sale, maybe you should buy it and move in. We could have some fun with music . . . and you can buy dinner with all that lottery money.

          Great job, Charles. Yet more evidence that the OT's Got Talent.

        Great job TG! I bet that took some time to put together.

        I'm assuming the video was made with PowerPoint?

          Yep. It took the better part of three weeks to get it right. I kept changing stuff and then learning new tricks and changing it again, you know how that goes. And those animated Gifs kept crashing PowerPoint. I got to the point where I had to make each slide individually.

          The reality show slides had up to 16 gif images and PP kept stalling and timing out so when I got the slide the way I wanted it I just rendered it and put it into Camtasia where I could tweak as needed. Did I ever learn a lot doing this. Same thing with Audacity. Youtube was my friend.

            Would you mind posting it in the High Voltage Video Forum?

            There's a few things that would be cool to discuss there that aren't really good for the OT.

    Fun song! Thanks for sharing. Keep sharing as you do more, woodjyapleeeeze.

    I agree - we have more talent in this forum than it might be right to have. If I could find a group this diverse, intelligent, and talented off-line, you wouldn't see so much of me here.
