I know all those guys (not personally...). And I remember being 11 and walking home to lunch and being told by the old crossing guard that JFK had been shot.
A little gem of a video. Love the way the piano's always slightly ahead of the synthesizer, giving the whole thing a jittery, out-of-synch feel.
@tedgangersongs It's out of sync because it's out of sync lol I made the music about 2 years ago, on the spot, more or less. If i were to do it now it would be much tighter, but something would be lost. It is weird how I can look at my old stuff and enjoy the wrongness in it.. I see the little guy trying against the odds.. A salmon bravely swimming upstream... It would probably infuriate anyone else. But my early music has something my later stuff doesn't.. Thanks Ted !!!
You're welcome Andy. ha ha .. I remember seeing that episode. Of course, I think a lot of those neo-nazi freaks are now on yt hiding behind a monitor versus a sheet spewing their hate, holocaust denial, etc.
Hey Andy, this is truly a very unique work. Very nice & original. In terms of your comment about Obama, please remember, the KKK in the US is almost a thing of the past. Of course, they have a right to voice their opinion in a free society, but when they have occasional marches in large southern cities like Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, etc., there are usually 20-40 of them & thousands on the sidewalks booing them as they go by, They are just ignorant white trash & only threats to their spouses.
@iriewaregl Thanks for that great comment. I totally agree with the right of freedom of speech. They are hilarious on Jerry Springer. Rivaldo asked one who was dressed like Hitler (with the moustache too) and was quite short "So you're an example of the Master Race ?!'
Still remember the day JFK was shot ,as a kid it was the first time i had heard the word assassin ,then later Bobby Kennedy ,great piece of music and imagery to match ;-)
The murder of JfK was a tragic loss, it seemed to me like a good person. Similar case was the murder of General Prim here in Spain, he was shot in his carriage, also Eduardo Dato, Canalejas....Those events changed history, and not for the best, I think. Nice video, Andy, I love sad and melancholy music, like History sometimes.
Its wonderful your Mom is getting better, sure all is going to be alright, take it easy, and have fun and a nice afternoon my friend! :-)
@rapidopato Thanks RP !!! Things are a lot better than last week.
I wasn't sure to release the Vid as I wasn't sure if the subject was too dark. My stuff is often light and laid back... I thought I would try something a bit different... Thanks for checking it out. !!!
Sounds great, Andy. You always take a different route on your videos which is cool. Anyone killing anyone else is horrific. No cause is justification for taking anyone's life except if you are defending yourself from direct harm. Have fun at Mom's - Best Wishes - John
@Ajohn13 Thanks John. I agree up to a point. I look at Hitler and other Dictators and wonder... Gaddaffi's fall from grace partly inspired this vid (I must confess.) But I was so surprised that so many Presidents, those that you would think would be safe were victims of assassination attempts... 4 were killed !!!
I really like how you took what could have been played as a happy piece of music and slowed it down and made it somber. Assassinations have a way of spoiling things, I guess. Even so, I thought that the music was very beautiful that way, and it certainly evoked a more complex response from me. Love your work, Andy. Absolutely love it!
@songblurred It could have gone very wrong..... The playing is out of sync and adds a dreamy quality to the slightly surreal subject matter.. It is quite odd.. It somehow wouldn't work if i played it straight. Sometimes wrong notes add something (Hard to explain) Thanks for checking it out Don. Glad you saw it and liked it.
I was ten years old when John Kennedy was shot. There was nothing on television except his funeral so I went in the basement to play... with my BB gun.
I couldn't understand why my Mom came down and yelled at me. Hey, I was a dumb kid...
Great videe and music Andy, very moving... we need reminders now n' again.
I hope and pray your Mom will be okay Andy. Hope your day is a positive one my friend. Take care. :-) Waldo
@profwaldo Thanks Wally, My Mom's feeling a lot better. So things are looking up.
The vid is a little morbid... But I have been thinking about mortality of late... Never heard of William McKinley, James Garfield and Andrew Jackson before I did this I am ashamed to say. But I am learning... Glad you liked my quaint tune which is dedicated to JFK.
Hi Andy, I don´t comment on political or religious content. All I can say: your video makes me think of John Lennon now, and still remember the tragedy so well, the biggest loss of my youth and reunion dreams. Damned!
@FrankRMusic That one hit me too !! I thought of him when I made the vid. One stupid loser took out one of our greatest lights... A great loss of a man who gave so much and had so much more to give.
@streetspiritlive Was touch and go. I made this over 2 years ago, and it just sat there waiting.... At least it's memorable, I guess (and short). And a good counterpoint to all that violence.... Thanks for watching it M.
The big stuff is coming out when I get back to London
@apoxisprod Thanks Pascal. The Music could be tighter, but my keyboard is in London. The tune is an old one. I would probably jazz it up a bit.. But I had forgot about Pres James arfield and Pres William McKinley. There was two goes at Pres Ford (within 17 days !!) My jobs crap, but at least no-one shoots at me !!!
History shows here that being president is no joke... You may be powerful but your life is definitely on the line! A unique post here... Great job my friend! =)
@VerusiunctiO Thanks Mikey !! When I did it I was thinking 'Is this the subject to Morbid?...' That the guy at the top is mortal too. Must be quite scary being President.... Glad you saw my odd little vid.
Andy, how nice of you to make a tribute video to American presidents even though you aren't American. I don't think this is morbid at all. I find it very interesting, especially with the music that fits the theme very well. Great work, my talented pal!! I'm glad your mom is doing better. xxxxxxxxx
I called it OPBS because they are our President too, even though many don't think so. I felt a bit restless so I threw this together till get back. The track is an old one, but I never made a vid for it.

Like this tune...has sentiment attached...as well , perhaps those from this country you refer to will appreciate even more their history.
Well done and all the best.
