I know many fans look forward to my annual Christmas videos but this year, for various reasons, I 'm finding it a bit of a struggle to get one assembled. I ventured out, last Sunday night, to film footage of the village's Christmas lights and some of the lights in the City, despite concerns over crowds and the new, extremely transmissible, Covid variant.
I've also recorded and mixed a brand new Christmas track to which I intended to edit the video footage to. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing technical problems in trying to transfer the video footage from my camcorder into my computer so that it can be edited and sequenced to the music. I've spent a frustrating evening trying to do this but with no joy.
So, I will try to assemble some still images from my nostalgic graphic archives, some of which I may have used in previous years, but at least they will provide some sort of visual accompaniment to the music. Failing that, I'll simply make the new audio track available to stream.
There has been an awful lot going on here of late, various problems and distractions and I seem to be way behind with Christmas generally. Not a single card bought or written and no gifts for family and friends purchased. I'm way out of the loop this year, which is really not like me at all.
We live in depressing times right now but I try to keep the music coming and, hopefully, your, (and my own,) spirits lifted. 😉
Thanks so much Bill. Always enjoy the Christmas videos & music. Have a wonderful festive season.
