DESCRIPTION:
When I lived in Baton Rouge during the 1980s, I used to make a cassette of my new songs to give out as Christmas presents. In 1989, a year before I moved to Los Angeles, I bought a camcorder and made a video instead.

The video was originally recorded on VHS tapes and edited by copying between two VCRs. Now, with the benefit of digital technology, I have remastered the entire video from the original first generation tapes, scene by scene, frame by frame.

Friends who appear on screen include: Barbara Fritchie, Amye Hollensworth, Randy Johnston [Kenneth Johnston], Matt Lanius, Jenni Lawson, Tani Legleu [Tani Layne], Jeana Lewis [Jeana Esser], Liz Murry, Jimmie Stricklen, and Mike Traylor.

Also thanks to Diana Bruschke, Linda Burns, Dewey Casaburi, James Fogle, Steve Landon, Judy Pennington, Sara St. Pierre, Jerry Schumacher, and Jean Verlenden [Jean Skinner].
