Did I do something wrong? I got a message saying the video is no longer available.

Hi DT,

I think it's great -- but perhaps a bit too long.

I've added a video response. You could do the same.

I also got the no longer available note. Of course it did that on Brew's video, and then the next day it came right up. But I think he may have given a different link the next day that did work. I seldom do the video links as I am on dialup which is a study in patience for downloads.

DT,
It loaded just fine for me and I especially enjoyed the Bobby Brown track. Took me right back to my primrose days in the 80s!

It's mostly still images...which is just great... but I rather expect we'd all like to see you in motion Smile

DT That's a great slide show and I love the music you chose. It's a lot more than I have done on the You Tube scene!

I like the way you included shots of how the book ranks on the bestseller list, and I'll admit to a chuckle when you were standing in front of the Cookbook section of one store.

Good effort--can't wait to see more!! pirate

Shelagh,
That is so stunning. Eye candy... I expect you'd make a brilliant TV presenter, if you wanted to go that way.

(p.s. I have just bought myself a Sony camcorder, but I must admit I have no know-how on u-tube as yet and am very camera shy... Embarassed )

I fooled myself into believing it was just between me and the camera. The hard bit was persuading myself to show the result on the web ... and you wouldn't believe the number of takes before I was reasonably happy with the result.

My mother said, "I watched your video. I didn't listen, I just watched YOU."

That's what mom's are for, I suppose; they never stop watching us!

... and they never listen to a word we say!

It does take COURAGE, and lots of it to put one's self in front of the world...and you did it. That's very remarkable in my estimation...
