I can YouTube!

    I may be a techno-dinosaur, but over the weekend I figured out how to create a music video *AND* post it on YouTube.

    I bought a $10 software program called Movie Studio at Best Buy a couple weeks back, but only got to playing with it last week.  On Saturday, I wanted to post a Lonnie Mack song, Three Angels on FaceBook, but was astounded to find it wasn't on YouTube.  So that was a good motivation to get serious about learning Movie Studio.

    It wasn't too difficult of a learning curve, although I kept the bells-&-whistles to a minimum - Title Screen, four pics of the album the song is on, and a transition between the pics.  I had digitalized the song earlier from the LP, but still had to de-scratch it.

    I then had to figure out how to post to YouTube, and that took some time.  But all-in-all, I was satisfied with my first-time effort.  The link is below, but you can also just search YouTube for "Lonnie Mack Three Angels" and it'll come right up.
