hmmmm, how come your posts are not showing in yellow when you posted this video, CircaRigel?

Am I noticing a Youtube fluke? YouTube reminds me of IRC circa 1997 or so. My blocked list on MySpace is about 1% the size as my YT blocked list. Thanks for posting this.

[CircaRigel]

No. Not a fluke. I have two accounts. The other one ends in a capital i, and has become my primary account, so it's what I'm usually logged into. This is my first account, but I shut it down for a while due to some hate issues here on YT I couldn't block due to an old system bug that's since been fixed (and I couldn't block the spam of the guy!)

Yeah, I'm the same way. Very few blocked on MySpace, HUGE blocked list here.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

It was hard. We had been quite close. Yeah. He was a talented musician, and truly felt the songs he wrote. He cared a lot about the world and the people in it. I still miss him.

Sorry to hear he passed away. That must have hurt. He had a good voice and was a talented musician.

Paul Levine was a close friend of mine. He passed away a few years back, but left me permission to use his music, as well as giving me copies of the sheet music he wrote for it.

Plenty of good advice in this video. Good job.

(And I thought the musician was James Taylor--he sounds just like him.)

[CircaRigeI]

Thanks. I thought I should do this after finding out that quite a few people are being targeted by this at the moment... and some have fallen for it and lost access to their accounts.

Good job sis, great information and I love the song.

Agape, donny
