Happy Thanksgiving 2009 from Earshot Presents

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. It’s time for the 2009 Thanksgiving slideshow from Earshot Presents. If you enjoy the video, please share it with your social media networks by using the “ShareThis” button on the bottom of the page.

The tune I chose for the video, “Be Thankful for What You’ve Got”, was an obvious choice. It’s been on very heavy rotation this year (one cover version at a time, each for months on end). For a lot of the country going through some hard times, the song’s message has never been so important to keep in mind:

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls, TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you’ve got.

Have a great holiday.

Sunday Morning: a progress report

My good friends the Sieberts chronicled the progress of Jessica’s pregnancy with a photo session every Sunday morning. Coincidentally, Sophia Noelle Siebert, my beautiful goddaughter, was born on a Sunday morning (the 13th of September, 2009). Around that time, Erik handed off the Sunday morning photo series and a fitting Velvet Underground song on a Flash drive. I put together the following slideshow together using Camtasia for Mac.

Hog Harvest Hoedown 2009

The Hog Harvest Hoedown took place on August 22nd, 2009 in St. Helena, CA. Humphrey the Pig fed over 100 people and Toshio Hirano entertained with classic country and “old timey” cover tunes. Later on, Doug Streblow and his buddy Sean played a great set and Brad finally bid us all adieu with a heart-warming a capella rendition of Edelweiss accompanied by Sweet Melissa and Doug.
