Now Open in Thailand

Some years ago I edited a travel piece from footage shot on vacation in the Thousand Islands area near Kingston, Ontario. One night on a tavern patio I met entertainer Billy Bridger, whose performance became a part of the video, and I sent him a copy on CD. The result was a commission to create a showcase video to introduce his many talents to booking agents. And yes, he got a lot of work out of the project.

Last weekend, attending the Limestone City Blues Festival in Kingston, I met up with Billy again, still entertaining the lunch and dinner crowd on the cruise boat “Island Star.” He told me he had recently vacationed in Thailand and that while there he had done a Google search which resulted in his viewing the original travel piece on my YouTube channel. It really is a world wide web. Wherever you are, you’re welcome to watch it too, right here.
