Cathedrals of England, Ireland and Scotland: A Music Video

Sorry for the weeklong absence. Having finished the book and getting it to the publisher early last week, I would be lying if I said that I've been doing anything of consequence since then. I have been catching up on some overdue reading, however.

To make up for my delinquency, I would like to announce the premiere of my first pictoral music video, Cathedrals of England, Ireland and Scotland. (UPDATE: It seems the best way to see the video is to download it by right clicking the link and hitting "Save Target as" to download it onto your hard drive. I just tried the link, and it was fine, though it seems that just clicking the link does not open your media viewer. The file is @ 50mb.)

Just click on the link and enjoy @ 8 relaxing minutes of incredible Church architecture and dazzling scenery of the Isles. And for anyone who might be skeptical, yes, these are all my own pictures taken in 2002 while I was living in London. I've passed out a couple of DVDs with this presentation to select group of friends, but this is the first real public performance. Maybe here over the weekend I'll post my second effort of a pictoral music video on the Washington National Cathedral, one of my favorite cathedrals in all the world.

Thanks to Joey Jr. for the server space. Hopefully I won't chew up too much of his bandwidth.

What I'm listening to: Wicked Tinkers, Hammered. This Irish/Scotch trio of pipers and drums mix some peppy contemporary grooves. Their song, The Farmer, is an absolute hoot (if I can say that without sounding too old). Music to accompany some fine single malt scotch (my favorite, Glenmorangie with a port wood finish).
