Hi aelreynol

Yes, you are right, I just checked out the YouTube Analytics, and it made it big in Norway.

If I can be of some small help and inspiration for others through my clips, that's great :-)

Sharing is caring.

Keep swinging,

The bass line concept in your last two uploads is quite similar to Hank Marr's "Greasy Spoon" and "Silver Spoon". Great stuff!

Thanks waldo!

I had to listen to some good ol' '60's Hank Marr, I havn't done done that since some time, and, yes, the bass line concept is quite similar to those two songs. My inspiration for this kind of 'pumping' bass line comes not from Marr though, but instead from Jimmy Smith's 1960 recording of 'Back at the Chicken Shack'.

Which reminds me that I really have to get my chops together and record a better version of chicken shack. My first try was lousy. Oh, well...

Keep swinging,

To my utter amazement I see that, as of writing this Apr 8, 2011, 'Total Upload Views' have passed the one million mark.

How on earth could this happen? Must be a YouTube glitch... :-)

My heartfelt thanks goes to all of you giving my videos some of your time.
