(Appears to me to be a video of a gig couple to a studio recording, but, hey, you get the drift.)

Nigel,
Please remove this post for sure eh?

Bill,
You're killing me man!! I'm 1500 miles away from a "Cajun Crayfish Boil."
Man I don't only suck the heads, I pull them open so that I can put my tongue in and really do a job on them. Just looking at em is emotional torture!!
This isn't right Bill, I know we're not drinking buddies, but I did think of you as a friend. I'm the only one her that is really suffering. I guess I'll go to the market and get a frozen "Crab Cake" or "Mrs Paul's" frozen fish sticks. I'm crying while typing this reply.

AH MAN!!! ... memories of sitting in a restaurant alongside Lake Pontchartrain ... fresh oysters, boiled shrimp and crawfish ... uhmmm mmm

BTW ... I ran the NYC Marathon - 26.2 miles - 3 times in the late '70's early 80's ... The New Orleans Marathon was run over this bridge around the same time ... the bridge is 24 miles long ... can't EVER imagine running that marathon ...

Tony,

I lived the first 33 years of my life in Algiers (Orleans Parish) across the river from downtown New Orleans. A couple of times when I visited from Colorado, I stayed with my brother-in-law around Covinton La.

He did wallpaper and I helped him while there. We drove across the "Causeway" every day to and from New Orleans to hang paper. I always heard it was just about 25 miles across. My Grandpa and I when a young man caught 175-200 Croker fish near the Causeway bridge on a couple of fishing trips.

Man! you're as bad as Bill with the memory torching. Ha ha!

Oh Tony,
You should go back and take more pictures! LOL
I don't care what every one on the forum says about you and Bill. I like Ya'll

Enjoyed the video and the singing
but I'm not sure why the keyboard was included
because it's obvious the keyboard part he was playing
wasn't heard or part of the song, as it didn't match up with the actual
song performance. I'm curious why a musician entertainer
would choose to do this.

Scott,

One of the problems I encountered with videos is synchronization between audio and video. The final format from the camera looks great on your camera review program, but when posted the lag time between video and audio can be 10 to 20 seconds. If when watching TV's local news you can see a distinct lag between video and audio. And, those folks spend millions upon millions of dollars for their equipment.

An easy fix is a simple hand clap (remember the old "clappers" used in movies about shooting films?) Start the Video; start the audio recording. Simply synch the two in the computer by starting at the clap.

Really easy. Of course, if both video and audio are in a self-contained unit...no problem.


R.

That's not the problem with the crawfish video.
The vocals appear in sync throughout the video,
yet the keyboard part he's playing throughout the song
isn't heard anywhere in that song.

Scott, who cares about the keyboard, I'm teaching you how to cook crawfish.

Instructions within. Literally.

Those Californians don't eat crawdads, Bill.

Scott, I suspect the video was recorded using a standard video recorder, something similar to the El-Cheapo Alesis I purchased, and the vocal audio was recorded on a separate device, then combined during the post production process.

This here one certainly does!
My sister's family (cajun) is in Lafayette, LA so I've had the pleasure of a few authentic cajun crawfish boils.
They spread newspaper right out on the table. Messy, spicy and Yummy!.
Only problem is you've got to go thru a dozen of those little buggers to equal a normal bite size amount.

I'm married to a 100% Cajun. She taught me how to eat Crawfish 33 years ago. Before that I used 'em for fish bait back on the Reservation.
One of the Mexican restaurants here, Nicky's (where I play music sometimes) has Crawfish Enchiladas. Way better than they sound!
