Want to Get High, Too?

[Reggi05]

Wonderful video. I've enjoyed the little trip through the Grand Canyon very much.

The music is beautiful. I really enjoyed it. 5 *****

Nice greetings Regina

[bigbeninjax]

@Reggi05 Thanks, Regina, for coming along for the ride and especially the Sub! Returned! I Like your music very much.

[bellamoonnature]

So glad you were nagged by certain parties ~ Thoroughly enjoyed the journey.

Thank you and greetings from Australia.

Bella

[bigbeninjax]

@bellamoonnature Thanks so much, Bella! Glad you enjoyed it and the nagging. LOL. BTW, the original vid is set here with as a Video Response. It's a bit similar, but has some different views that I liked better....and another surprise ending.

[djrbfm]

hi ben,

your production of this, as always, is beautiful.

love the deceptive cadences.

j.

[bigbeninjax]

@djrbfm Thanks, John....'high' praise, indeed, coming from the master. ;-)

[HildaJeanAM]

Beautiful music...lovely scenery...haha like the ending!

[bigbeninjax]

@HildaJeanAM Hilda, You're everywhere! LOL. Thanks for taking a spin around my channel and you're sweet comments. You're the best! Come back anytime....I got more on the back page, too. LOL.

[HalooftheMuse]

When i first went to the Grand Canyon, i never got any closer than 40 ft. from the edge... WAY too much downward space for me!!! Your photography really captured ALL that immensity as well as i've ever see it done!!!

[bigbeninjax]

@HalooftheMuse Thanks, Muse! As you can see, I like to dangle my legs over the precipice to get the feel of the place....or as a friend of mine says, "if you ain't living life on the edge, you're taking up too much space"!

[HalooftheMuse]

@bigbeninjax BEN, almost everyone i knew from the "old days" that lived on the edge is either dead or disabled...

[bigbeninjax]

@HalooftheMuse I suspect living too close to Bane might have had something to do with that! LOL.

[Edamero]

Very beautiful vid and music.

Excelente.

Hugs and Love

Edu:))

[bigbeninjax]

@Edamero Thanks, Edu.  So good of you to stop by and join me!

[roadbiketraveller]

The world is so beautiful.

I have been everywhere that I have seen here

I would like to go back to Bryce.

[MarkH901]

I think I may just have experienced most of those syptoms at one time or another. Haha!

Great video Ben.

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks, Mark! Darned nice of our friends south of the border to supply the cure for all those ills!

[lukessummer]

Great vid Ben, as always.

Nice play on words in the title as well, although I'm guessing you may get a few choice comments from the "Turn on, tune in, drop out" brigade once they rumble what the video is really about. What a beautiful Country America truly is, it appears to have every stunning vista the rest of the World has, all in one place!

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks, Lee.  And, yet, I keep coming back to Ireland! Uh, no rumble about 5:44 ???

[lukessummer]

Some exulted company there!!!!....Anyway everyone knows Tequila is the Methadone of the alcohol world and a poor substitute for Jameson Irish Whiskey!!!

(The commentator left out "May make you think your Youtube comments at 4 O'clock in the morning after been on the Guinness for 9 hours are funny!)

[bigbeninjax]

You mean they AREN'T funny after 9 hours of Guinness? I guess that explains a lot of behavior last Friday night......

Hmmm, One Tequila, one Jameson, one Guinness....could be a new George Thorogood song!!!

[archtopbrownie]

Song is perfect for the magnificent pictures..(been most of those places since I was raised in the west) Lived in New England for a spell and, yes, the trees really are that red. Then you topped it off with a tequila ad with warnings of side effects.... fortunately Vodka gives you all the benefits of tequila but I've never experienced any negative side effects... except memory loss perhaps.

[bigbeninjax]

Not even the urge to sing karaoke? LOL

[archtopbrownie]

I knew they would get even with us for Hiroshima.

[donegalsteve]

Nice job there BigBen.  Great photos!

[weathermanspike]

Very impressive, I NEED HOLIDAY, I NEED TO TRAVEL, can someone take me out of here to somewhere far away????

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks, Spike! Well, anytime you feel the need to travel you can always get your vicarious holiday here on my channel.

[Fagapperd14]

Very nice music Ben, makes your trip video more creative than using music of somebody else.

Take care

Rafael

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks, Rafael. Glad you could come along on the journey.

[WhenIrishEyes]

Hey Ben, My Aussie brother is soon to go state side on a wee tour . him and his wife n kids will ,apart from stopping at Graceland ;) be visiting AMO The Grand Canyon too! Good job as always buddy

[WhenIrishEyes]

hey wait a darn minute here , what´d you mean side effects : WhenIrishEyes lol

[bigbeninjax]

True, Rick, I suspect by now you have been cured by Tequila and no longer need its effect to get up and sing karaoke! It is a wonderful medicine.

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks, dude! That's great they are coming over for a visit. No surprise they are stopping by Graceland! Where is AMO? I hope he makes a vid when he gets back. He should have lots of great footage. All the best, my friend!

BB

[WhenIrishEyes]

Haha yup Graceland is a must in this family ;) AMO is on Mars I reckon haha meant to say AOT which includes Las Vegas and a few other places

[WhenIrishEyes]

Perhaps that Tequila has gone to me noggin after all

[JuanLorenZerimar]

Beautiful! *****

*****Beautiful*****

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks, LilBen. It could've used you on the piano to spice it up a little bit! :-)

[Phoenix4Changes]

species be forwarned, this will be a ladies vacation & u will all wait on us... so bee it, smile

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks for dropping by, Phoenix....or maybe "ascending" would be a better word to use in light of the elevations in this video and today's date. John 3:16

[Phoenix4Changes]

can't share... awesome, past awesome, and the end well: cuervo gold that i can drink, the other, the cheap stuff makes me puke

and my goodness i can hold my own with that 4 sometime, or at least i think i can... the only "shots" i can handle

[jelasings]

[roadbiketraveller]

Was great the first time but really super with this music of yours.

It's fun to watch and recognise all these places from someone elses camera.

some more stars.*****

.x.

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks, Julia! Agreed!

[letufi]

thanks so much dear Bigben; lovely video and music-*****

thanks so much for sharing the trip-

funny and lovely credits-

greetings

leticia

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks for coming along, Leti. So good to hear from you. I hear it's very hot down there this year. I suspect you are looking forward to spending some time in the higher elevations like these pictures???

[letufi]

of course I'd love to be there in higher elevations!

thanks for the musical trip

[jratt2]

I have to agree - your music suits the video better Ben. It ehances the images the way a proper soundtrack should.

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks, JR. I would've included you at the end but since you did the Hawaiian Naked Fire Dance at your wedding without getting burned, I couldn't include you in the 'think they can dance' category.

[jratt2]

haw! haw! haw!

Btw, 'Alcohol my cause a loss of virginity'...alot of Irishmen can appreciate that...lol

[bigbeninjax]

Interesting! Irish men learn to drink BEFORE they lose their virginity??? LOL

[jratt2]

Sure we Irishmen are very shy around the girls Ben!

[BigLoveZone]

I didn't get to watch the first one, Ben (Max)

so this is my virgin watch. I absoLUTEly love your music on this. Some of the pics look straight out of brochure I did for the state of Arkansas. All of the pics are spectacular and gorgeous!

As for the Tequila, well I'm going to keep some on hand from now on right before I post a video to help with the anxiety and feelings of inadequacy!!! lol....."side effects...table dancing...like a retard"..LOL

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks for coming along, Bobbie. Sorry you missed the first version. Trying to share a video with everyone on your 'friends' list on Youtube is getting to be about as appealing as pulling teeth even when trying to do it in small groups. It's so bad, it makes me want to do shots of .........

[tps607]

Ah...curtain #2...YES!!! This is better. Enigma is fine....but this is YOU! *****

[bigbeninjax]

I agree, Tom. I enjoyed making the Enigma version, but this is the song I had in mind all along. No more selling out to the corporate execs....oh, by the way, which one's Pink? LOL

[tps607]

I think Monello is the pink one...it's from all of the Merlot...

[tps607]

I do love this...I spend too much time as a secretary and not enough time here where I have the most fun...where is Carolyn? :o)

[bigbeninjax]

I hear ya, I'm going to try to spend more time finding more new and great stuff on other people's channels. Yeah, I miss Carolyn, too.

[TexasHighDef]

I love it Ben!!! Bravo!!! Very cool!! This is a different cut then the one I used!! You really got some great shots and then blend of the two is just wonderful!!!*****Duke

[bigbeninjax]

Thanks, Duke....sliante!

[bigbeninjax]

FYI, Duke, it was your idea to take advantage of this song's Southwest flavor on your vid. Just following your lead! BTW, I hope you always get to Nirvana with your yoga and live the life you want to live......... ;-)

[BigLoveZone]

Hi Duke, er...king of the HD!

[lukessummer]

And no, I'm not biting...Ha ha ha!!!

[bigbeninjax]

But, lukessummer, what are you afraid of????? LOL

[lukessummer]

I just know you are chuffed with the shot at 0:19 LOL!!!

(And rightly so!)

Very nice Ben, very nice indeed.
