[LizBizToo]

Hi Anthony, glad you enjoyed (and keep those tours a coming!) Sending you a Happy Halloween wish across ze big pond :)

[Featherflow]

As usual Liz such a fantastic film by you. The sound and visual effects were just so perfect and I loved this poem. You really are wonderful at setting the perfect mood with your creations. The reading, the delivery, the presentation. Just fantastic! Anything I say will not justify how great you are so I'll just give you 5 thingies for being such a star :D P.s I swear my cursor just winked at me!!! *creeps away from the monitor*

[LizBizToo]

Ha! We may never look at our cursors in the same way! And my new Vista has had enough cursing from me to last for years lol.

Mucho thanks; coming from such the star that you are, Sara, I take your commentary as quite the compliment! And thanks for those 5 thingies...twas fun to put together :D

[alphaba2]

I loved the shadows and reflections and effects. You did a really nice job with this video.

[LizBizToo]

Hi Ann, thanks for stopping by to watch...happy you enjoyed it so :)

[sherryhumikowski]

What a wonderful poem..and read so well too!

I felt like a kid by a campfire listening to an old ghost story..only with a cyber-twist. lol

I liked the black bird in the background and the lightening bolts. Very well done m'lady! Happy Halloween Lizzzz! 5*

*g*

[LizBizToo]

Haa, I knew I was forgetting something...next time I'll bring Marshmallows (well, these days it'd probably be a Starbucks)

My thanks, Sherry B, have a horror-filled Halloween! :D

ps that black bird sat on my 'pirate' shoulder last Halloween and I just couldn't pack him away! lol

[SohoSquare]

After 30 years in Germany, I usually forget about Halloween... though the past ten years have seen it become slowly more celebrated. Beautifully read, Liz - and a nice twist which I should pay heed to as my computer is so old that she's always aborting, retrying or simply ignoring :) x

[LizBizToo]

Heee, give her daily defrags, Nathan, and if that doesn't work, pray to ze computer gods for a new one. (I have an old one I could send to you, but ze last time we sent product to Europe, the shipping cost was more than the product's LOL.) I trust when you get back to England you'll be celebrating Halloween? (the return of the Chicken Farmer! Yes! You MUST! Will you carry a real live chicken...or fake? How bout ze eggs?! Real?! Think about it! Haaa!)

Thx, N! :D

[1summersweet]

Hey Liz, fantiastic reading and great sounds! 5* S.

[LizBizToo]

Thank you much! Happy Hallow if you do celebrate in the Netherlands (?)...

Regardless, Happy everyday, 1summersweet :D

[sainter1]

Excellent! Glad ze smoke has cleared, now we can see you and that's even better than ze poem.

ps: ze lighting was fine and there should be no doubts ever again in your mind about your delivery.

Onward to ze stars!

[LizBizToo]

I've never been happier to say ze smoke has cleared...all ready for stars now!

Your compliments are most kind, and totally appreciated here :)

Onward, yes!

[sainter1]

You are welcome

[LizBizToo]

'specially meant for me, not turds

(verse 4 of err, 7 now...or is that 8...mmm :D

[LizBizToo]

[LizBizToo]

Thank you much, AD, and Happiest of Hallow Days there :)

(ze piano is locked down til I've proof you've bought your new one...so hurry up with those sales!)

[30andout]

Excellent reading, and something most of us have encountered, though not under such dark circumstances!

[LizBizToo]

Thx, 30a; the fire factor should bother me more than the puter issues! (I've had 3+ to date; one life-changing!)

:D

[Minniver]

now this was frightening! I stare at my screen in horror afraid to click.... Nooooooooooooo!

[LizBizToo]

YOU skeered over this lil ditty?! Nah, I don't believe it, Deb!!!

[maryann712]

I just love this! You have the perect voice for such a reading. Love the poem, very clever rendition. Have to check the site out.

[LizBizToo]

Thx, maryann. Anita is an amazing astrologer, and more. Very knowledgeable gal.

:)

[kuulcat1]

wow 5 paws up from tarzan and wylie...that was scary...the effects scared our paws off.

[LizBizToo]

Now that's really saying something, considering Tarzan's personality! (It'll get better after Halloween...tell him to hang in there lol)

[kuulcat1]

we are laughing...u don't have to get better...we wuv u just the way u r...tarzan and wuylie

[narcoleptus]

Happy Halloween liz, wonderful video!

"I burned the poem with my candle

one dark and wintry night,

twas halloween and I watched

as the poem caught alight"

next verse anyone?

[LizBizToo]

Haaa! You're good! Keep it going........ :D

Thx, Tom, come catch up with you soon, too :)

[Pookieftw]

You truely took a classic and brought it to the modern day! Fantastic reading.

[LizBizToo]

Thx, Steve, I do love this poem by poetress Anita :)

(and I just sent someone on youtube a link to your tutorials, thanks back to you!)

[LeSaMilano]

Great reading Liz- love the reworked Poe!...and of course your usual flair for style imprinted in the visuals! The poem was simply meant to be burned! haha

I use both The Raven and the story surrounding it's success as a serial in newspapers of the time in my English classes- a master example of alliteration. :)

[LizBizToo]

You want to know what I was thinking in that silence upon seeing the burnt poem?!

Hi Lesley, I do appreciate your approval, and I love that I accidently ran across this poem the other day, sent to me some 10 years ago by Anita :) I'm still recupping from the fact that it burned! LOL

I would also enjoy your English class...no doubt!

Cheers n Scares to you :D

[Ravensinger]

This was GREAT! Fantastic reading, emoting, video making...everything!!! You're awesome!

[LizBizToo]

I would not expect less in a comment from the singer of Ravens! :D

Thanks, Ravensinger!

[TransientTarget]

Perma-faved :)

[LizBizToo]

fillin' up your alley :D

[SlipshodGuRu]

Wonerful stuff and oh-so-right up my street XD

[SlipshodGuRu]

* wonderful.I'm using a keyboard that cost £2

[LizBizToo]

lock it down, grease it up, or err, something... :D

[LizBizToo]

hehe, sorry if I got a lil too much color in there! Now that I think on it, why didn't I black n white this? LOL. See ya soon :D

[Tahllulah]

Ooooooh, this is GOOOD in every way. Thank you, Liz for this most entertaining vid. Going to watch again. "Thief of words.." Happy Halloween to ya! ;O)

[LizBizToo]

Isn't it fun? Thx, Cindy, that's a real compliment coming from you!

Have fun with your youngins this season :) (Halloween songs in store, I hope?)

[Tahllulah]

No Halloween songs I'm afraid, she's "a busy girl" as she likes to tell me. School, soccer and now girl scouts....But she will be over for popcorn balls. She has already put her order in.

By the way, I have to tell you I have a painting started.....but not yet finished ;0)

[LizBizToo]

Ahh! Congrats! Good for you! (Mmm...thinking here of vid responses, but thinking is usually ALL I do these days when it comes to painting)

Tell that gal she has fans asking about her, and enjoy ze popcorn balls (and painting!) :)

[NewYorkGardener]

What a great reading, and a funny twist on a classic.

I think it is no coincidence the poem was burned a bit! Be careful Liz to not upset the gods of Cyberspace!

[LizBizToo]

Hi Arthur, I was pleasantly surprised when I ran across this fun poem in my office stashes the other day.

Hee, the burning probably says something if I were 'so inclined'...you just caused me to think:

it WAS taped on the eve of a FULL MOON... !!! LOL

Glad you enjoyed :)

and was yet intent ...quickly without appearing so on cam... to get finished with the reading in one 'take'!

Nonetheless, I was surprised that the paper had caught on fire!)

[lazmalt]

Happy Halloween ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺

[LizBizToo]

There must be a like-kind holiday in Italy?!?

[lazmalt]

Here in Italy hallowenn is celebrate but it is a festivity imported from a few years, therefore is, in this way, not celebrated like it is from you. In Europe a similar festivity is the carnival.

[LizBizToo]

Halloween has become the 2nd most popular Holiday in the U.S.!

I know if you can you'll be taping those events for us in Europe; shall look forward :) Thx.
