Every time I think I'm stating to get "nice" - you show me how far I have to go. You are the man, bro. Love this.

@nHisImage Just trying to move the carrot a little further (for myself as well). But I know how you feel. My friend Caren (eaglecrowowl) does that to me all the time. Her latest called "Together and Apart" will blow your mind. You need to give it a look, and you will see a "home" movie like I could NEVER make (or like you have EVER seen).

Outstanding job! So polished - this could easily have been on Discovery or PBS.

[DaleATL2]

@vaasnaad Thank you sir. That is quite the compliment. :-) You have made my week...maybe my month. :-D

[DaleATL2]

Wonderful video. Looks great. Engaging with a light-hearted touch.  Looking forward to more!

The "Nocturne" by Alexei Stanchinsky sounds fascinating -- more like an etude, what little you played of it. I am considering purchasing the CD just for that rare piece.

Robert, that was outstanding!

[aznpridedaniel15]

I had a master class with him last week at Emory University! He really is amazing.

@SWTPEA64 Thank you Joe!

@justpassnthru Thank you kind sir. It surprised me too, how well it all turned out. A lot of credit goes to the artist. He is a meticulous perfectionist (in a good way). And he helped guide this to its final incarnation.
