Christmas On The Square - Marietta, Georgia

[jughead22]

we were in marietta a couple of years back. a beautiful town. i picked up a lovely needlepoint pillow in a little antique shop there. i would really like to return someday to spend some time there. nice video jim! the reason for the season! :)

[silverscreamgrl]

I love when towns park like that, side ways, instead of parallel. It just makes good sense. YOu get in four cars to every two parallel cars. I never understood why they don't do that here, where land is of such a premium and they knock over buildings just to build a new parking garage.

[silverscreamgrl]

Looks incredible, Jim. The only thing with HD is that for some reason YT doesn't feed it all to me at once. Like I sit and watch 10-15 seconds, then a break with the swirly. I hope they fix it or that not many people start using the HD uploads, or I will be sitting here for days just to watch four videos hahaha Thanks for taking us with you. What a nice surprise to find the nativity (did you take gold? incense? myrrh?) and the live performance.

[souixana]

Jim thank you SO MUCH for the beautiful card and present. I'll try not to open it before Chritmas. Does this mean we're back together? Are you going to bring your Alabama paraphernalia back to my trailer? I think you left a toothbrush and a couple of pairs of tighty whiteys in a dresser drawer. Oh I guess I'm saying too much in front of people huh? Well private message me then.

[CountryComesToTown]

LMAO Suzy you go ahead and drive that new car I bought for you dear. Can you get my laundry washed and supper on the table. I'll be there in a jiffy! LOL Good to see you here you crazy thing you! -Jim

[souixana]

lol.

[angelboku1]

All I got from Jim was a matchbox car. *sigh* He always buys you the best gifts!

[fehquig]

It looks real good but I'm disappointed my old puter cain't see it...

[CountryComesToTown]

Maybe you can update the flash and get it to work or better yet get Cindy to buy you a new mac for the holidays. LOL Good to see you buddy. -Jim

[fehquig]

LOL Good to see you too, Jim! The HD looks great on my laptop, but it takes a while to load...

I imagine you need a special camera to make that work...

[fehquig]

My li'l ol' puter won't show me no DH stuff. Gotta check it on the laptop...

[CountryComesToTown]

Stunning HD quality Jim! Happy holidays!

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Gary. Happy Holidays to you my friend. Great to see you! -Jim

[SunnyDazStormyNitz]

Looks like a nice town. The video turned out very crisp. Looks great.

Merry Christmas Jim

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Sunny and Stormy. A big Merry Christmas to you as well! Good to see you. -Jim

[dl737]

Wow - you weren't kidding when you said HD!! Very nice - and also reminds me of ST-I :)

Happy Holidays Jim.

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Danny. We just need you and the gang up there and all would be complete! -Jim

[xjasongarciax]

HD looks good bud! Nice little town square!

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Jason. Thanks for watching buddy! -Jim

[mysteryglo]

Wow Jim, this is wonderful. The quality is so good. I want a cam like that! I just bought my son the Canon HG20. I may have to do some research and see which I want. What settings did you use to upload it and how long did it take? I know it takes awhile once uploaded for the viewing in HD option to show up. It was just awesome and the show was great too! LOL

[CountryComesToTown]

Judy the spam filter on YouTube keeps eating my reply. Send me your email address and I'll give you the details. My email address is just below my name on my channel page. -Jim

[wildheart5]

Beautiful in HD! What a difference. Lovely video!

[CountryComesToTown]

Thanks Barb. I suppose it's the future of web video. Hope your enjoying the weekend! -Jim

[BandwagonBabe]

wow, that hd thing is amazing! impressive.

[CountryComesToTown]

It's pretty neat Bandwagon. The files are just a little big and hard for some to watch. -Jim

[BrotherBearAZ]

Wow! Fancy video playback Jim.. I really loved that life size nativity.. It was interesting to see everyone hanging around outside at night with only light jackets on. Haha.. Merry Christmas Jim.

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Bear. Last night I was Christmas shopping in a short sleeve t-shirt as it was 70 degrees. Something is just not right about that. LOL -Jim

[LeSaMilano]

wow that hi-def thing is huge and clear and sounds amazing - but our broadband is too slow, so unfortunately we can't really take advantage of it. Still good in regular quality!

[randomwritings]

seconded

[CountryComesToTown]

Brian hopefully both of our countries will eventually catch up with the lightening fast internet speeds the Japanese enjoy. Until then, it's going to be aggravating trying to watch HD I'm afraid.

[CountryComesToTown]

Hi Lesley. That is the problem with the HD. We need to run fiber optics to every house in the world.

[OhCurt]

Hey, I remember that square from ST'07.

[CountryComesToTown]

That's the one Curt. The only thing missing is you and the gang. Good to see you my friend! -Jim

[tommy30507]

Great video. I am glad you're back.

[CountryComesToTown]

Ronnie I'm happy to be back. If I disappear again, come find me. LOL

[popparoc46]

Nice one, Jim. The picture is great in high def, but the audio was choppy. ... at least, it was for me. Had to revert to normal quality for audio. -roc

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Roc. It should come across in stereo. Maybe it lost a little sound jumping the border to get to you. LOL Happy Friday to you! -Jim

[kacpt]

A banner that reads Happy Birthday Jesus, Church songs being sung in the towns park. Man, I want to move to your town. Good job Jim. Ken.

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Ken. Yeah it's a nice little suburb of Atlanta. Thanks for watching. -Jim

[lancastercounty2007]

What an amazing difference On how it looks In High def. Great Job Jim. Happy holidays to you and your family.

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Roy. It really does make a difference. Happy Holidays to you and yours also. -Jim

[whatsnext]

Video is great... Amazing the difference in the HD quality!!!

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Ann. It really is amazing what HD in stereo can do to a video. The problem is connection speeds and I guess that why they all start in standard quality. Some just don't have the connection to watch in HD. Happy Friday to you. -Jim

[MeLady2]

Oh that was sooo good,

esp loved the song Because HE LIVES..

Thanks for sharin!

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Sharon. We need you up on that stage singing! Hope you have a great weekend. -Jim

[buglady58]

thanks for sharing this jim ;)

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey buglady. Thanks for stopping by and watching. Happy Friday to you. -Jim

[Dianasme]

this is a wonderful christmas video. I noticed the sound is better, anyway I enjoyed watching.

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Diane. Yes the sound is in stereo rather than monologue. Some people have trouble receiving the better sound though, depending on their connection speeds. Thanks for watching. -Jim

[paul1967uk]

Nice one Jim, also great to see a bit of Marietta again.

Merry Christmas

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Paul. Now if we only had all those YouTubers up on that square like we did last year, all would be good. Thanks for watching! -Jim

[Jinxie228]

Ooooooh nice Jim! I haven't tried the HD yet. I see the HD link below. lol

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Martha. Yea, I was just playing around with it and trying to figure out the upload settings. Thanks for watching. Happy Friday to you. -Jim

[frugalfriday]

Very nice!  Now, if you could just master 5.1 Surround Sound, you'd have it made. Generally, the traffic is so bad when I drive through the Square I don't notice how nice it is. Thanks for sharing.

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Frugal. You're right about the traffic around there.  This was about 8:30 so it was light and I found a parking spot easily. Good to see you. Hey it's time for you to make us a new video now. Maybe another shopping video! -Jim

[StuartGalore]

What kind of HD video camera do you have?

[CountryComesToTown]

Stuart it's a Canon HF100. I've noticed that there are a number of little point and shoot models coming to market that can capture HD video. I'm thinking most cameras will have that feature in the near future. -Jim

[Dlorezzz]

wonderful Christmas video. Thanks for sharing. That lady really sings well

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Dolores. I just wandered upon the very end of the singing and wish I had seen the entire program. -Jim

[CountryComesToTown]

I don't see the HD link below the video. Maybe it takes longer to process the HD version. Anyone know? Well I'll be patient and see if the HD link shows up. LOL -Jim

[CountryComesToTown]

There's the HD link now. It apparently takes longer to process the HD version. It showed up about 30 minutes after the standard version. -Jim
