Hmmm, that link of mine doesn't seem to work today. It just takes me to a 'Sign In' page at YT. Let's try another approach.

Here's a link to a playlist that I created of 25 various videos that I found posted, or posted myself to YT. They all feature my musical mayhem. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A623742B4B9D13F9

Note, that I've had no hand in the creation of any of these videos, except to be the musical subject being captured. It's a challenge to create a video, when you possess no video camera. So, the quality of these offerings vary greatly.

Oddly, one of the most watched videos from among this group is the earliest video that was posted at YT of me offering my version of "51 Highway Blues" at a local pub and the quality is quite rough.

One of my favorites is of my song "Grossosity!". I love the audience reaction.

Another great audience response is in the following video, captured on a phone camera at The Historic Everett Theater. I'm offering my version of a Pat Donahue song, "Would You Like To Play Your Guitar?". The video quality isn't good at all but the audience was very sweet indeed.

A very nicely edited documentary/interview video capture, the work of Session7Media, features my song, "There's A Hole".

A video that turned out well, despite the fact that I had far too little time to prepare for my part in the show, was captured at The Moore Theater in Seattle and posted to YT by the STG (Seattle Theater Group). It features me on stage offering a number with my musical saw and joined by a whole host of wonderful performers.

A recent documentary/interview video about my musical saw playing, that Katie Rowland captured and created, isn't on YT. I've been offering Christmas songs with my musical saw at Seattle's Pike Place Market during the season. This video was captured on the first snowy day of 2010 in Seattle. It's posted on vimeo.

Just one more, that hasn't made it to either YT or vimeo, is one that's currently posted at my MySpace and my uvumi pages. This is from my performance during the Moisture Festival in Seattle at ACT (A Contemporary Theater) and features me offering "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" with my musical saw to a very enthusiastic audience sweetly tweeting along with me during the bluebird part.
