Attention passengers

Although I may post the interview later on if I have time, today's video highlights post will be delayed, possibly one week, until next Friday morning.

Apologies to those who are waiting.

Let me explain...

I love going to Nu Music Night every Tuesday night. But the video editing and uploading for this blog have become too time consuming for my packed life. Instead of every Tuesday being my Horseshoe night, every Thursday night is now, too with hours on end of editing. Sometimes more than was spent at the Horseshoe on the Tuesday prior.

I started this video blog simply to share part of the experience, attract others to the Nite and to document the evenings for later reflection. I feel I have accomplished that in the eight weeks that I've videoed.

If the blog is to continue, it would likely return, perhaps next week-- perhaps in a few weeks from this day, as an audio podcast.

No writing, just audio. My voice, that Nu Music Nite Sound, and the voices of the bands and fans. It may- no- it will be much more authentic. Sound can be captured in 360 degrees with incredible fidelity that video cannot match with current technology.

Plus, as is said in the field of videography, The picture is just information. The audio carries the emotion. And trips to the Shoe are all about emotion.

Thank you for your attention :)

Cheers,

Gary
