Your situation is well understood by us Eddie. The important thing is that you do what pleases you first and foremost. I always find much of interest and I learn some things from you too. Do whatever you can because I appreciate it.
I have had some odd experiences with YouTube of late. I recently found a couple of Dane's I'd missed somehow and I do have the bell enabled and device notification permissions allowed. It's a puzzle. If I've missed any of yours it's probably for the same reason and I'm inclined to blame YouTube.

I think I can possibly speak for Dane in saying we don't have any issue with you mentioning your health issues Eddie, but hoi-poloi is a different animal. If they subscribe then they already know and in their fruitfly attention span it's somewhat like posting videos going over the same aspects of your guitars. There's the difference- they're all very brave hiding behind a console and firing off buckshot without a second thought. You're fine with us Eddie, but you're on your own with "them" and it's inevitable when you set out to help others.

But we have history here on GA that others watching your videos don't share. And yes some folks get very brave when they know they are insulated from any recourse. |

I always go back to my saying, if it ain't fun you're doing it wrong. So many things in life we get involved in and they become a brain sucking monster. Not fun, nope! Hopefully I'm going to be playing with a few guys sometime this year. Not to gig but just hang out and jamb. Might be fun.
I know I've talked about it before but I've learned 5 different video editor programs. And each has it's own learning curve though some are very similar. I'm now using iMovie on my Mac which works well enough for my style videos.
I've got 3 2 terabyte hard drives and a dell laptop full of stuff I can't access after a non backed up crash several years ago.

If the fixed disk still spins, you can pull it from the lappy and get an inexpensive USB dongle to connect it to another computer Dane, and there is a really strong chance that you'll be able to recover most everything. That said, while I know John is very tolerant of our occasional pseudo FacePage (T)witterings, I sense that computer discussions are pushing his good nature to a precipice regarding the intended modus operandi for GuitarAttack.

I could have paid the geek squad to get my stuff off the comp but I just made more. Most of it was really old stuff I just never got to editing.
Steve, I wasn't aware that we could get busted" so to speak for bringing up non related topics. Never crossed my mind. I'll try to behave...

All - talked it over with Admin. Computers have become part of our daily lives, and YouTube and other videos are becoming a bigger and bigger part of our guitar journey.
While we want to keep focused on guitars, a short veer to computers can be accepted as part of doing business.
Thanks for the discussion.
John

Guys I wasn't pointing fingers. It just so happens that I'd looked at the GuitarAttack website yesterday and there was a mission statement to the effect of keeping to guitars and directly related subjects. That made me stop, think and question my own "contributions". It was just coincidental- I think that's the first time I'd specifically looked at The Mothership's website and I enjoyed reading through all the FAQs. Personally, I wince and think "lighten up whydoncha" when the ubiquitous internet police bear down on some poor unsuspecting individual for contravening the "Off Topic" commandments, but I well realise when a forum is not mine and not FacePage, so I keep my tongue between my teeth and quite rightly so. I guess this is a long-winded way of saying "Thank you John".

I've only been on cable internet for a couple of years. It made a huge difference in my upload speeds.
I started watching your vid this morning but had to go to work so I'll finish now.

Sorry about eventually Eddie. It was a not put down. And I am not comparing myself or my lack of memory to yours because mine is just normal for my age. But all I meant was you remembered and that was good.
