Just…watch the video and…uh…hum to yourself quietly…

…yeah, that’s it!

I made an AMAZING music video (it’s getting better in my head by the second, btw) this last week so I could post it to YouTube last night. It took me hours to take the 16 and-a-half minutes of footage and crop it down and edit it to a cohesive story line that would fit in a 3 minute and 56 second song and still show all the steps to making a fabulous duct-tape project. I busted my chops all week to get it done by my self-imposed Tuesday deadline. I ignored my house and kids. I neither ate nor slept, and I got it done. And I loved it. (hyperbole, anyone?)

But you don’t get to see it. Sorry. Just as I getting ready to publish it to YouTube so I could embed it in the blog, a nice little reminder came up about using copyrighted material.

Um, I don’t own the rights to the song. Columbia Records sort of does. heh heh. So, I have filled out the permission form and submitted it, and we’ll all just wait with bated breath to see if they’re going to let me use it, and for how much of a “nominal fee”. (Anything over about $25 and I’m pretty much out. This is not a money-making blog!)

So. Time to adapt and overcome, I suppose; time for a new deadline. I am hoping (no promises) that I’ll get SOMETHING on here by Thursday. And all of it will be legal, I promise!
