Prohibition: America's Dry Spell

I do not own, nor am I taking credit for the music of The Fireballs, the lyrics of Tom Paxton, or Ace Records/Sundazed Record Labels. I'm not in this for profit, I'm in it for acclamation.

A project I did in May that had to deal with The Great Gatsby, so why not Prohibition? Got some footage from a video, took some images off the Internet, and made my own appearances (everything credited though). Worked late into the morning, but got a 100 on it. BOOYAKAH!!!!

where did you get the video footage? how did you save it to your computer?

[flapjackrabbit]

Footage was from a video I rented from my local library. I recorded the footage into my camcorder from the VCR, then imported the footage onto my computer via firewire.

Awesome work, love the enthusiasm. I am going to share this with some traditional jazz friends of mine in preparation for our annual Prohibition Repeal party in December. Important question: Which band and recording did you use for "Charleston" in the beginning? Thanks --

[flapjackrabbit]

It was performed by Green Hill Instrumental. It's in the credits.

Prohibition was the most unconstitional act ever passed. You can no more take someones property and destroy it without compensation than you can make a person a slave. No amendment can take away from a right recognized in a previous amendment and certainly not one that existed prior to the constitution. infact your labor is your property, and we are at liberty to do what we want so long as it dosn't injure or steal from another. see Geroge Gordon dot org for more
