How To Give Back

It's been a couple days, and I'm still feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the opportunities here, the training, and not least of all the support from new friends, and as a complete *NEWBIE* I'm struggling to find a way to give back. And it occurred to me that I should share with you a little of why I'm here at all. You see, from about 2009, until 2013 I was quite active in the local music scene here in the Northwest, recording bands and artists and learning how to produce music videos the way bands would be proud of them. But changes at my workplace put me on the night shift and it pretty much screwed up my body clock and schedule to the point where I've had to discontinue my video projects until such time as I can find another job on a day shift. And for now, the only time available for me to work in more time at another job is in the morning hours. So I plan to do WA in the morning hours after my regular shift.

My long term goal though is to get back to what I love to do, and if I can turn this into a full time job, and work the mornings, it will leave me free again to work with my friends in music.

And to give back,, I'd like to provide some entertainment, if you'll humor me. Here's something from the Tiny Ninja Cafe in the Fremont district of Seattle. I hope you like it. It's one of my favorites by Alicia Healey. I used all my audio gear to multitrack the sound, several cameras and 3 of us running them.
