@kinavian74 Thanks anyway Steve. Still it's super as it is! I'm in England at present Brrrrrr. So know what you mean but glad that you are well and keeping up the good work. My lad Thomas will be uploading one of the songs he wrote and sung himself over the next few weeks I'd appreciate any comments you may have. Anyway from a cold Norfolk cheerio for now. Al

@albainbridge1 - Al, wish it were that simple. Do agree with reference to the Hudson in the song a tribute to that amazing pilot would have been nice. That was a real feel good time and we apart from the Chilean miners we don't get enough of those moments. The weather is depressing but apart from that am fine, still churning out stuff. Hope you too are well and enjoying that lovely country and villa. Best wishes, Steve

@kinavian74  Hello Steve, Hope that you are well? I was talking to Bill on Saturday about this production which we both love. However he did suggest that if that there were some pictures of that great emergency landing of that passenger jet on the Hudson river in January 2009. it would be complement the rest of this superb effort. Just a thought!

All the best,

Al

@albainbridge1 - Al, great news and thanks very much for that. May your week be a truly good one. Take care, Steve

[albainbridge1]

Just to say Steve.....I gave Bill Elliott a copy of this a few days ago..........He loved it.

He really did!

Well done.

Al

[albainbridge1]

Bill Elliott will for sure Steve. I'm going to make sure he see's this and the other of your super tributes.

@albainbridge1 - High Praise indeed, probably one of my best efforts. Probably influenced by one of my favourite bands from the 70's, who deserved more success than they actually achieved. Your comment is very much appreciated, just hope Splinter like it also. Lovely and sunny day, so this will be my one stop for today. Thanks Al :-)

As far as I'm concerned this is a really superbly produced video by someone who has a total affinity with the song,the song writers/singers. For me it captures the era absolutely spot on!

Brilliant.

Nuf sed!!!

I really like this song New York City (Who Am I) by Splinter. Their voices are soft and beautiful and the video is giving a wealth of pictures from New York. Some changes are made in editing this new version, the pictures are mostly the same but here they fit much better to the song. Again this is a welldone video and I enjoy the music and pictures very much.
