That was great! My wife and I were stopped by a panhandler just last weekend in a grocery store parking lot. It's always interesting to hear the stories of why they need money. My wife actually gave him $6. She knew he was bullshitting, but she has a big heart sometimes. I usually tell them I got nothing. It would be cool to be rich and base the amount of money you give, on the creativity of the made up story. "Wow, here's $100. That was a great one.".

@SlackJones1 I had been planning this one for a long while, I had to get drunk and shoot those panhandlers downtown, I usually never go out anywhere....I have several other songs from this album that I want to make videos for, just takes time and that spark of imagination that I never can find when I need it, but there when I don't.

Hey man.... you got any change? a little bit of money... what about you? ....real cool jacket man.... a little change.....man hey listen....I gotta make a phone call.... excuse me...can I talk to you for a minute?

@ronpolla "I got this jacket" i played this show twenty years ago in Cola SC, the street bums would help you carry your equipment in hoping for change, one bum was creeping around stroking this jacket like a pet kitty cat, trying to sell it to people...thats where that line came from, stuck in my head and never left....

@buttondave Thanks Dave, it does take some planning and there are always technical issues even with something this bareboned...

Great job Steven and Sienna. I know it takes forever to make these videos but make some more. A video album.
