Reverting to the subject of this thread I have been reviewing the various videos from the genius with images Tom Salter that are now available on youtube.
Going to Tom's new page there at:-
http://www.youtube.com/profile_video...masj157&page=1
I found some 20 GL titles on the first page then on:-
http://www.youtube.com/profile_video...masj157&page=2
another 16 ,making a total of 36 based on GL songs plus a pair of other videos not GL based
I noticed that the oldest GL one was uploaded only 4 months ago, and I suspected from their thumbnails that some were subtly different to the original ones I had previously downloaded from his earlier youtube collection as 'Stonewall Studios".
I also compared the 36 titles with what I already had and found three were "missing', namely
- The Wreck;
- Now And Then;
- A Painter Passing Through
I also noticed up a few new videos
evidently uploaded since the previous two new ones (Leaves Of Grass and The Patriots Dream"
these are:-
the five that I showed earlier:-
- Pussywillows Cattails
(which opens with a stunning seriers of images showing both plants)
[
- I'll Tag Along
- Steel rail Blues
- Me And Bobby Magee (Funny I had never previously thought of Janis Joplin as being sexy!!)
- Seven Island Suite
PLUS three more!!
- Cotton Jenny

- The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

I also checked Tom's earlier use of the Daily Motion and Yahoo Videos facilities where the above three "missing" videos reside and by now thoroughly confused I decided to phone Tom to check what the situation really is.
Basically he is now a group of three and their plan is to get all 250 odd songs covered by the end of this year with an output of about 3 or 4 per week. the reason that the existing crop is of relatively recent uploading is that he has rebuilt all the original set .(He did once tell me that he intended trying to redo them with royalty free images)
Tom did confirm that in future the youtube channel will be the prime main uploading site and the "missing" videos will soon join the rest there I have therefore commenced downloading the latest versions., using of course the very easy to use frereware program that is proving ultra reliable
Easy Video Downloader
My intention is that once I have an up to date set of video files I will be converting them to the MPEG-2 format using the SUPER all-can-do video conversion freeware and then endeavour to make a DVD from them, all I have to fathom out at the moment is how to incorporate a proper menu to allow playing any one video at will.
Since Tom has not kept us up to date himself I have decided to do this review now,since I had started the ball rolling last week in the thread started by Char when she found the reworked Pony Man video
