Ahh... As the big viewership numbers fade from view, say what a week of fun that was.. Now back to the reality of unpreset entries.. yep that was fun wasn't it.. For a week or two that project to president over everything else.. When I said it would start around the 18th of January I thought no problem, I'll just clip it up and set them in sore order.. Thought about one a week but I wanted it to be uninterupted, so it was set to go from Tuesday through the following Tuesday.. With the videos to be done as a last minute, nearly last second, as the videos were started to be worked on on that Tuesday, the first entry that went "live".. Talk about cutting it close.. The start of the last 8 songs and then the decision to add the three from the demo Ernie worked on, those videos were all done on the Friday before they were set to go live on that Tuesday.. Luckily the computer cooperated and also the internet as uploading five minutes takes about an hour so all the videos together cost twelve hours to upload... All in all quite the project as far as the videos were concerned.. Like I said I didn't think I would do anymore videos, the memories of the songs are still in my head.. The writing sessions which were just a matter of jam sessions.. Playing them live was easy.. It was just a great time back then.. As much as I might have sounded like I was complaining it was just the best time of my life.. The were regrets, the women that I didn't bother with, I didn't want that to be a distraction.. Thinking back I wish I would have let things like that happen.. I watched Frank get roped into that and really didn't want that to happen to me.. Not much chance of that... Still it was fun and I do let myself look back in fond memory of a time that really I question if it ever really happened.. As early as the early 90's I wondered if it really all happened at all.. Well did it?? How quickly it fades into the back of the memory.. Wishing that I had a diary of some sort, even if it were to say this date I joined this band.. This date we almost fell apart.. Five year (almost to the day) was.. well it just was.. Until Ernie passed away I hadn't even thought of the band since .... Whenever it was.. I know I forgot certain events and some I omitted on purpose... There was a bit of a rush but still when the memories came out it was just.. A great writing situation.. Sorry for the inspiration that caused it but it seemed to jar memories that I had forgotten.. I wish I had a diary to check on but I had to go with my memory exclusively.. Not bad for swiss cheese...
