Hey, Genie: I am deeply appreciative of all you're doing. While it would be nice to have more professional quality videos, I thought the whole spirit of the Getaway was sitting around, singing and enjoying each other without a lot of emphasis on "performing." Or maybe I'm wrong. Once you start worrying about performing, it changes the whole atmosphere.

My friend here on Mudcat, Dan O'Connell, graciously set up a website for me, for which I am deeply indebted. He posted several videos of songs that I did with my buddy Art Thieme, back in the '80's. In the Handful of Songs video I forget one of the verses and look rather stupid. Duh! But then, it's all a matter of perspective. I didn't ask him to remove it, even though I really blow one verse. I thought it made me look charmingly vulnerable and human. :-)

Now, everyone can go to my websight at http://www.jrasmussen.net and see me really mess up the song. So be it. It won't be the last time I make a major mistake.

Thanks so much for posting the videos, Genie. I really appreciate you.
