Hey I haven't seen Zach since he was 7 years old.I ask him to sit in with my band in Nashville in 1999 we did The House of the Rising Sun and some rock & roll.I am a Big Fan of his Daddy's if any body reads this and sees old Steven have the master give old Floyd Tebeaux a Hollerin!

One more thing I always new The Zachmyster would be a Whooper Snapper on Guitar and a class kid as always. God Bless Ya'll

@dennyleewilliams1 very very cool!! :) This was the finest graduation I have ever had the privilege of camera directing. Zach stole the show--and did it with class!! (no pun intended; haha) In fact, truth be told, I never cared much for the Joe Cocker version of this tune until I heard Zach's performance. It impressed me enough to master it and post it on youtube. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. God bless you as well.

Hey Zach Uncle Denny in Nashville Rock On My Boy!

@dennyleewilliams1 Nice to meet you. I'm the guy who live camera directed Zach's performance along with the graduation. This video has been edited/mastered so feel free to forward the link along to Zach... he might like to see this finished version. :)

My god, your guitar sounds exactly like SRV's. Great tone!

[Hipster55]

@AlecW1234 Unfortunately, I will not be there this year. However, they have a good group of people who run cameras so I'm sure they will capture the performance satisfactorily. I keep in touch with the guys there, so If you would like custom editing on your band's performance. Let me know and I'll see what can be done. Break a leg! :D

@AlecW1234 LTHS contracted the venue and the venue contracted me and my camera crew. I believe the school will make the raw capture of the graduation video available. In this youtube video, I took the raw video and adjusted it in post ensuring all camera shots looked and sounded good along with some signature processing that give it a pro look & feel. [MORE]

@Hipster55

Sir, who hired you for this? Do you remember? Because I'm graduating from this school and the ceremony is going to be at the same place and I just learned that my band was picked to play at the ceremony, I was wondering if the school hired you to do this video or if it was some private thing (like a parent or something) because it's very well done and if possible I'd love to have the same thing done this year. Also if it was private, how much do you charge?
