Video: You Didn’t Have a Girl (the making of)
Hmm.. I totally thought I had posted this song already, but it looks like I was wrong. So, here's the deal. This Christmas, Erika (my wife) and I agreed to not spend very much money on presents for each other. So, I had to sort of get creative. Luckily, I'm the king of pulling a song out of my hat with a moment's notice. And, this time I had helpers!
Or, rather, anti-helpers as the case may be. You see, I decided to involve my two sons in the recording process. In hindsight, this was a terrible idea, but the end result turned out great. It was just incredibly painful. They fight like cats and dogs on a good day and (as you can tell from their jammies) it was getting on in the day.
Anyhoo, I made the process even more painful by videotaping parts of the recording "session" with my Flip MinoHD. I had actually forgotten that I had done this until I found the videos today. So, I decided to finally give Adobe Premiere a shot and try and do some video editing. This is my first editing attempt so please be gentle. You should just be lucky I wasn't doing "star wipes" all over the place. Also, I guess I have to figure out how to edit it without that black border around the whole thing. If you are an Premiere genius, then I welcome your input.

Oh yeah, and I was using my aNueNue Banjolele in this song.
NOTE: Of course, after I already uploaded this video and wrote the post I realized what I did wrong in Premiere. The next video won't have those annoying black bars around it. I'm not sure I'm going to re-do it, though, because I don't see a way to do that easily without starting all the way over. And, I'm way to lazy for that.
Rockin’. Any Dad who gets his son to say penis is rock solid in my book.
