Re: Phill Williams Song Searchin'

Soooo....you don't like my other songs. Boo hoo! You could have let me down gently?

Only kidding. I played it to Ann my biggest critic and she loved it. The video is brilliant and hides the cock ups I made.

Well done Pete and happy new year to you and all our Chordie mates and spouse's     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Phill Williams Song Searchin'

Cheers Phill and Jim thank you for your kind comments  a great way to start the year. After reading Phills  lyrics to Searchin' on chordie  the video idea popped into my head. I sent Phill  some of  my video ideas when  he reluctantly agreed to forward to me his demo . When he emailed  me him doing a demo of it which he wasn’t  completely happy with I eagerly started  the process of putting a video together. The synergy  with the interaction of his song and my video felt good.  Our two inputs combined produced a total effect that was greater than the sum of the individual elements. The song needed the video and the video needed the song. When I emailed him with the finished result I felt a bit apprehensive thinking maybe he wouldn’t like it. Thankfully he did like the outcome. I was very pleased and thankful to Phill for allowing me to make this video. Special thanks to Cuba Mall Dancers  Wellington for being in this video.

Big thanks to Pete for bringing a mediocre song to life. I rarely play my originals to Ann but I showed her the video and she came close to tears....big brownie points I may add!
The first part of the song is about her. The last part was inspired by Pete's poem about a homeless guy dancing for Pennie's. The chorus I had to make up. So, in effect three songs stuck together to make one...sounds like a spice girls song....     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
