[KatyMayBatesShow]

I hope your New Year has started with magic...blue moon and all...:-)

[GreatGig1]

Thanks. Lea! Did you get that editing thing figured out? I figured you did since I haven't heard from you since then...:-)

[papercuts777]

Very, very nice. Didn't know you were guitar savvy.

Hope your holidays and new year is great!

[GreatGig1]

I'm not guitar savvy...I only play like I am on YT...hahaha! I'm just trying to teach myself how to play...:-)

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I can't believe it's been a week since you posted this comment! I hope your new year has started with open doors to new adventures and possibilites...:-)

[papercuts777]

Quit trying to be humble.

I haven't seen a Fleetwood Mac vid in over 10 years and when I loaded up a song, I've never heard them play, (gold dust woman) I said HEY, that's Caylyn's long lost sister! Man, what a resemblance!

Again, best in the year to you!

[GreatGig1]

I LOVE the song, "Gold Dust Woman"! Funny you should say that! I have me singing "Gold Dust Woman" on the editor! Maybe one day I'll get it finished and posted! ha! I wish Stevie was my long lost sister! I wonder if we could start the rumor and she would decide to adopt me as her sister?? HAHAHAhaha!

[twish1999]

Oh Caylyn.... you did a fabulous job with this video ( but then again..you always do that!)

You've been such a big part of my life these past few years, especially this year, I treasure your friendship and "BFF" is way too cliche to describe it.

Peace and happiness to you and yours this holiday season. ;~}

That was one hell of an edit!

great version, gave me goosebumpies!

Merry Christmas and a Very HAPPY New Year. (I'll have one of them please! )

Love you

xoxox

[GreatGig1]

One simple idea that got a bit out of hand...and I still couldn't get everyone in that I wanted to!! I'm beginning to despise Sony with each project though! It kept crashing and started rendering things out of sync! Either time for new software brand or stop making vids...lol

Merry Christmas to you too and the order is in for a Happy New Year, Les!! Love and Miss you!! Skype now?? :-) xoxoxoxo

[MrRandomWritings]

What a lovely Christmas card to everyone (noticed you saved the best till last!) LOL

Love the version of the song - chat soon xx

Happy Holidays!! Yes...we'll chat soon! Before the New Year I'm sure! xx

[MrRandomWritings]

ooh look forward to that... as I have been for months!

xx

[GreatGig1]

Months?? Close to YEARS now, isn't it?? hahaha! xx

[freitasex]

Now that was so nice to watch and beautiful!

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Michael! I'm glad you enjoyed watching! :-)

Happy Holidays!

[MayfieldRandyj]

The song turned out wonderful. Just right in the mix.

Man that was a lot of editing you did. no wonder render time seems like light years. lol

Loved it all.

143

[GreatGig1]

Thank you, Randy for letting me use your Christmas tree animation! Worked well in there I thought...:-)

Yes...a LOT of editing! Kept crashing my editor! I almost scraped this idea many times! I'm glad I continued hobbling around to get it done to this stage...:-)

Happy Holidays!

[Dlorezzz]

Caylyn that was so beautifully done. I love your arrangement of a classic. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year..

[GreatGig1]

I hope you have a wonderful season too, Dolores! Let's get 2009 outta here and bring in the New Year with a BANG...well...the pop of a champagne cork at least...hahaha!

Happy Holidays! *hugs*

Have a Merry and Magical Christmas and may the New Year be softer, gentler and kinder to us all...the thought takes me away....:-) Much Love...xoxoxo

[robertpina99]

Caylyn, the coolest thing is seeing yourself in someone else's video. It's the best Christmas gift anyone could get. Well, okay, it wasn't the week off with pay I asked for, but it was thrilling all the same. I love what you do. Still waiting on the village.

Merry Christmas.

[GreatGig1]

Well, Robert...I didn't get that time machine to ANY time yet...so...I will take any little thrill I can get...LOL

I'm still waiting on the Village too! Hopefully I will have something up the beginning of the year! :-)

All the best to you and your family for 2010 and beyond! :-)

[Perroquet51]

Caylyn, this was just wonderful, a true legacy to your talent and the love you share on YouTube. I know how hard you worked on this and how disappointed you were that you couldn't fit more people into it. I also know that those of us who are in the video are only a small representation of the many more that you love and who love you.

Your singing really touched me with its warmth and sincerity. I'm very proud to be your friend and brother :-)

[GreatGig1]

That was such a beautiful comment! Thank you so much for everything ALWAYS! I can't seem to think of anything witty or charming to write, so I'll just give you a call...:-) Love you always! xoxoxo
