Mary Anne- That was great!  What did you use to create that video?  The song was great it looks like you put alot of work into this.

Mary Anne - I love this! How DID you make it? Are you using this for marketing? Very catchy!

Mary Anne - you sound great!  The original was one of my grandpa's favorite songs, so you have my vote! 

You made my day.

Matt: Thanks!  I used my webcam w/ Windows Movie Maker for the "living room" shots and a tape video cam that has a firewire for the Queen costume shot and office shot.  The first time I did this, I did it all in Windows Movie Maker.  This time, I did the singing separately and I took the whole thing into a video production company for the "post production" and eye candy.

YES, SHARON, Im using it to get new referral partners and to show clients.  It's my music video business card.  Thank you for your nice words.  What I've learned from Active Rain is to be yourself and music is such a big part of me, that I'm really grateful to be able to incorporate it into a marketing piece.

Chris, that is so sweet.  I love Roger Miller too.

I will be posting my tips for creating your own musical piece for those of you who are so inclined, and btw, you don't have to be a polished singer.   If you love to sing, I will provide pointers for the song part and I say GO FOR IT!!!

Mary Anne - I can't believe you did it all originally in Windows Movie Maker! I have to go play now...yeah! I am subscribing!

Mary Anne - THAT WAS GREAT!  Looking forward to your call today!  :-)

My dear friend Kamila sent me over - very good! Perhaps we can get you over to the East Bay for the office holiday party!

 Hi Mary Anne, do I have to tell you that I'm now an official fan of your videos. This was so cool,  entertaining and another great lesson in how to do video!

Thank you Marti!

Mary Anne, ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!  Terrific video.

Thanks for your call today.  I'd have loved to have spoken for longer, but my client literally entered the conference room a minute into our call.

Thanks, Brian!  That's funny because someone came into my office too.  Maybe we can catch up soon. 

completely entertaining - you should be on TV commercials!  loved the underwriter plug!  gotta replay!

Oh my gosh - this was so good! But I can't sing! Are there any options??

Superb job!  If I were a customer, I would definitely use you.

By the way if this career is not working - you can contact me - I used to be an entertainment promoter and had a record label here in Hawaii.

I love your video! Very clever marketing idea!!! ONe quesions - Is that a picture of Barry Habib in the beginning??? It's hilarious!!!!

You don't need to sing to make an effective video.  Keep it short and informative or use humor.  Be yourself!

Thank you Kelvin, I'll keep that in mind :)

Laura, No it's not Barry Habib.  He's about as far away from the "web based rake" as you can get.  He's one of my heroes.  Glad you liked my video!
