There seems to be some confusion on names here. My name is Jim and I set up the channel. Gary wrote the song. Jeff produced the video for a senior class project in 1972. It sat in the can for over 30 years until Jeff's son Evan edited the raw film to create this version in 2005.

Oh. I'm not as insightful as I thought: must've been a lucky guess. Oh well. Some interesting factoids there. You have a good memory! sems like yesterday eh? I wasn't even born!

OK - I'll bite. What do you mean by "cameo"? Most of the folks in the video were members of the band that created and performed the song. The extras were friends and workers at the local BK - which many of the band members worked at too.

[rubber4532]

I knew it. The whole performance just screams "cameo".

[jvascon]

Yep & Yep - good guess.
