Scenes from Solvang

Very near Santa Barbara is a small town with a Danish flair. Check it out!

I tried YouTube's audio swap feature. It took many views to choose a song this time. I think it is a great feature, although it would be nice to loop music so you are not limited to a song that is longer than the length of the video. This limits one's choice considerably given the current catalogue.

Also, they have a category of music called "World" but mostly it includes Celtic songs. I would have liked to find a Danish instrumental piece to accompany my video.

Another irritation is that the song I picked (Burke and O'Domhnaill's "The Rolling Waves") is listed as having a lengh of 6:14. My video is 4:45. Riddle me this: why does the music stop just before the end of the video? Do you think I should try to find another?

By the way, the birds that you see about 3/4 of the way into the video (3:17) are thought of to be good luck in Danish culture.
