The film entitled “Ed’s Inner Space,” had a special premiere at YURI’S [...] Here’s the kind of LOUIE LOUIE I really love. It’s a wonderful demonstration of robotic technology and musical diversity.

Thank you Lego Robot on Ukelele – you are this week’s LOUIE of [...] On Sunday night in California, Monday afternoon in Australia, a very special interview took place for the LOUIE documentary project.

Obviously, Richard Berry is not a participant on Facebook, as he passed away in 1997, but this is [...] Anyone that knows me knows I’ve been shooting video for many years. I’ve shot a lot of footage of a lot of different entertainers – musicians, poets, comedians, and friends. Certainly not everything is related to my big LOUIE project. While video production is my livelihood that provides me an occasional paycheck, I do create a lot of video for various musicians, simply because I love what they’re doing, and want to preserve certain special moments for posterity. I’ve got an extensive archive of footage that goes back for over twenty years. I do love YouTube. It’s a great chance to get the immediate gratification of sharing this material with others, and I love the idea of having friends all over the world appreciate what I’m doing. Today, I posted my 100th YouTube clip. It’s some previously-unseen video of one of favorite local San Jose bands from early 1990s- the Guttersluts, doing a medley of Spinal Tap songs, including a personal favorite, “Gimme Some Money.” |
