it sounds wonderful but it's a "tad bit off" !

[crownpropeller]

I am not sure what you mean by that ...

Thanks for the great video!!!

By the way, I noticed that the audio gets out of synch when you watch it in high quality, although it's no problem in normal quality. Probably this is what karboniiti referred to in his comment. I guess it's not the poster's fault but the problem caused by YouTube's system.

Ok, i see. I was not consciously trying to put up a high quality version anyway. So better watch it in normal quality, people.

A ONE MAN UNIVERSE!!Rahsaan "left" the planet 33 years ago(!),but I still very much feel his presence.Truly one of the great bringers of joy!!!
