Ben writes some good stuff and I was lucky he let me use this piece. Paris is only a few hundred dollars from wherever you are....take a week! Thanks for coming by Michael....tom
Thanks Arthur,it's the least I could do after you took me to Amsterdam!In Paris,though,the pleasures are food and wine,and the most beautiful piles of stone anywhere! tom
So thats why you, Tom (one of the best songwriters on youtube) is using your friends music on your latest video? I thought you were just trying to help out big ben with some new listeners...
LOL...Ben needs no help from me...nor does Rob. They are helping me! I simply do not write music suitable for this.I am a "lyrics" man,and you know what they say about how many words a picture is worth!!!I am blessed to have people like this to be counted among my friends!
thanks Sven,glad you liked it.I am blessed to have such talented friends...and as generous as they are to share their music.We appreciate your visit and thank you for your nice comment! tom
Thanks for the virtual trip Tom... I don't think there is anywhere that can compete with Paris every time I go I'm drawn to boat trips down the river.
Donal,it has the prettiest "piles of stone",and more of them than I ever imagined.I didn't make any of the boat trips...but next time...!And then I will go to Prague,the place of my ancestry...Thanks for stopping by,my friend.
LoL...the place is hundreds of years old... probably lots of ghosts in there. The long and endless queue was to enter Sacre Coeur.There's probably plenty of ghosts there,think it's about a thousand years old.....
Bon Jour, Tom! EXCELLENT video! I love Paris, I hope to take the Eurostar again in the not too distant future! Just out of interest, which did you prefer, London or Paris?:)
Thanks,Anthony!Coming from the travel-king,it is a big compliment.The EuroStar will bring you to St.Pancras...reason enough to go.I like them both and will return to both.
I was rained on,hailed on,snowed on,and sunshined on in both cities,and the language was hardly a problem in either place...lol. I prefer the pubs in London and the cafes in Paris.I want both.....
This was like going back in time and wearing a cream coloured trench coat, a cute scarf, carrying a bag of food(with baguette sticking out noticeably) and running up to my little flat to scribble out some cool sketches and listen to my Astrid Gilberto record while drinking coffee:) I love it! You two together make a good team!
I feel a sudden urge to wear a beret,start using a long cigarette holder and growing a pencil thin mustache...and listening to Maurice Chevalier records.Glad you liked it~! yom
It is a wonderful place of great beauty,and the youtube compression does not do these images and video justice.I am glad you stopped by and took a look and a listen.Thanks for your kind words! tom
Thanks,Dave...Paris is wonderful...and I am blessed to have been there and doubly blessed to have some great musicians doing the soundtracks for this video series (rob Elliott/Riverman1971) and (BigBen/BigBeninjax)so far.Their links are listed in the info boxes on the respective videos.There is more to come. tom
Thanks Prez,it must be a slow day at youtube to have any kind of ranking when only 35 people have seen the video...but I am not proud.Oh,Rob has a new "drive-on-the-wrong-side video posted today...check it out!
Hey just got back from Rob's new video...and my head is spinning! I was grabbing the dashboard and hitting the "imaginary" brakes just like I do when I drive with my teen-aged daughter! Why didn't you warn me to take Dramamine first?!! LOL!!
Just got in...and was so excited to see this here! Another awesome video....with truly amazing music! ( Hi Ben...loved this music ALMOST as much as your "Gilligan's Isle" piece!! And Marianne?? REally!! LOL!!;)
5 stars for each of you!! ( I would have given you more stars Tom IF you had brought ME back some escargot!!)
Hi Carolyn,I see you didn't bring me any BBQ,but I will still send you some escargot (let me go out to the backyard and get some fresh ones for you).I/We thank you for the stars,and appreciate your international support! xo
Ahhh but I DID bring you back something...how about some dessert?!! I have some white chocolate cheesecake covered in chocolate ganache and topped with chocolate covered strawberries...home-made by MOI !! I'll put mine up against ANY French pastries!! LOL!
Um, that would cost me $84.94 to UPS overnight air it...so I guess I'll just have to deliver it in person!! (better have my escargot ready then!!) LOL!
going outside with my flashlight (That's "torch" for you,Rob)and begin collecting them now.I may also spice them up a bit,I see a lot of fireflies out there too....
Hi, Carolyn! Sorry, as usual, I'm late joining the party. Glad you liked the music. Tom did a great job with the video, don't you think? I love the opening and the mood of the song and video suit each other nicely. It gets Five Snails from me, too!
Ben...you are NOT late joining the party...for you (and Tom) are the guests of honor...and you have just made your grand entrance!! Of course I think Tom made a great video...and you made great music! And "Five Snails"?? Only if you're going to eat them!!!
LOL...actually,none of the above...It is Ben,as in BigBeninjax...the composer and performer of this soundtrack.(see the link to his channel in the info box).Ironic,no?There was no Frenchman to step forward with music for these Paris videos.Ben also did the music for the London video "Three Minute Cruise".
Fantastic opening!!! I just love the way it KICKS in there. Hey, it's almost as good as being there. Brought big smiles to me this morning thanks Tom!!!!
Glad you like it...it is more fun to watch than to make.My XP crashed 8 or 9 times before I got it saved...and every time it crashed the audio and video tracks got out of sync,so I had to fool with every frame each time.They are good now,but were perfect the first time around.Keep smiling!
Uhhhh you have probably noticed that my two comments are both VERY similar, I just LOVE YT!! I made the first comment which "disappeared" so I tried again, hence...the double comment. Anyway, it works..all of it perfectly. Whatever "tech" problems happened it all came together and thanks to all concerned. 10 thumbs up!!!
Yes,and the video follows the music,which is exactly as Ben wrote and played it.When I first heard it,I thought..."what the..." at the strange opening...but the plan becomes clear as it unfolds.I like it a lot (which says something after listening to it for eight solid hours (except when re-booting the computer) xo
Hey Rob,good to see you!Thanks!I think it's no more chaotic than London,but maybe you feel that way because they drive on the right side of the street!It would be so much easier if they simply spoke English!The tune is a fun one and reflects Ben's playfulness. tom
just uploaded a video with driving on the proper side of the road! lol
There is a reason why we drive on the left, it comes from medieval times, long before cars were invented (and America was invented.lol) and its very interesting, although i cant remember off the top of my head...i'll find more information about it and let you know. That will prove that driving on the left is the correct side!!
Rob,I will have to check out you "novelty" video and allow you time to come up with a good reply (other than the proper way to mount a horse is from the left or something like that). :o)
Paris and Ben's music go together beautifully!
