I started doing these videos back in March of 2011 and it's been a lot of fun. I certainly appreciate all of the support and kind comments from the Mudcat family on these efforts. One of the side benefits is the number of musician friends I have been able to coerce into participating, and have become friends with as a result.

The views of the 29 videos on my channel are now approaching 12,000 according to the Youtube stats. About 70 percent of the views are from people 55-63 years old, and 90 percent from men. So come on ladies! :>)

The most interesting phenomena is the way this video has taken off. Since I uploaded it on Nov 26, it has generated over 1,000 views. 96 percent are in the US. Over 50 percent of the views are coming from "mobile devices". I am puzzled by the popularity of this video. The harp work is pretty good I think, the guitar is ok, and the vocal was maybe my 5th or 6th attempt and I'm still not liking it. Maybe the fact that there is a reality show on tv in the US with a similar name accounts for it? Maybe there's something about illegal activity in general that has spurred it. Whatever the reason, its currently getting over 100 views a day, which is more than all of the others by a good margin. And 11 percent of those are women, which also beats my average :>)
