BUDDY GUY 2010 [HD] ~ Hoochie Coochie Man. Mr Buddy Guy, one of the World’s Greatest Jazz and Blues Musicians was in Vernon BC preforming at the Rarearth Jazz and Blues Fest and we were fortunate to be invited to film the entire event. Mr Buddy Guy was the Headliner and that alone was reason enough to be there but we were also there to greet Buddy at the airport when he arrived in the Okanagan and ended up giving Buddy Guy and Max(his agent) a ride to their hotel. One of our amazing YOLO adventures.
High def video facts: It took 8:33:40 to render (that’s 8 hours and 33 minutes) the video is 1.92 GB and it took more than 5 hours to upload to YouTube.

Throwing this video from the Columbus Dispatch out there, hoping we can find this talent a place to call home.

UPDATE-1: Many thanks go out to all of you who have been tossing phone numbers and e-mails my way for Ted’s sake. I went up to Hudson/I-71 (Columbus) today, but Ted wasn’t there. He is going to be on air tomorrow morning on radio station WNCI. I’ve left my contact info w/WNCI to call/e-mail me on a way to get your enormous opportunities over to him.

I’m going to give him a Trac phone (w/ample minutes) so that he can return calls to all of you.

Hopefully, in some way I’ll get in contact w/him. Peace.

UPDATE-2: To all those who have been writing me (as one of Ted’s only means of contact), I have learned that the radio station interviewing him tomorrow (1-5-11) a.m. is going to make him a formal offer. Whether true or not, we’ll see.

Hope it works out well for him. That was the whole point of me posting this video. I cannot thank enough everyone who was willing to do their part in offering Ted their helping hand.

Whoever lands him is certainly getting much more than a memorable personality; they’re getting a great human being as part of their team.

My best to all.

In 1999, Susan Boyle recorded a track for a charity CD to commemorate the Millennium. The CD was produced at a West Lothian school. Only 1,000 copies of the CD, “Music for a Millennium Celebration, Sounds of West Lothian,” were pressed. An early review in the West Lothian Herald & Post said Boyle’s rendition of “Cry Me a River” was “heartbreaking” and “had been on repeat in my CD player ever since I got this CD…” The recording found its way onto the internet following Susan’s first televised appearance on Britain’s Got Talent. The New York Post said it showed that Boyle was “not a one trick pony.”

That same year (1999), Boyle used all her savings to pay for a professionally cut demo, copies of which she later sent to record companies, radio talent competitions, local and national TV. The demo consisted of her versions of “Cry Me a River” and “Killing Me Softly with His Song.” Following Susan’s successful audition on Britain’s Got Talent, copies of the songs found their way on the internet.

I created this video a few days after the first videos of Susan’s Britain’s Got Talen audition were posted on YouTube. I had considered re-doing the video, but just never got around to doing it. After several requests from past subscribers, I’ve decided to re-upload my original video. Hope you like it.
