Our Videos and YouTube Channels
I've decided to include my YouTube Channel links at the top of this page now since I have been using YouTube much more often these days because it is so much easier and they do all the formatting for different devices so much better.
I set some videos as Public if I don't mind everyone seeing them and others as Unlisted so you have to have a link to get there - So my YouTube channels will only show the Public videos. The videos that are more private or for this site only will be Unlisted.
My Personal, Family YouTube Channel
My YouTube Bike Site Channel - All My Bike Trail Videos
My Music and Song YouTube Channel
Some Videos Posted on This Site and On YouTube:
Here's a collection of the videos posted on this site over the years and a link to the videos that I have posted on YouTube. I posted videos that I posted on this site before YouTube was around or later videos that I did not want to have the full YouTube exposure (no their not bad! just not for the full YouTube audience).
Since these are pasted from old links through out this site, I kept some of the text along with the links...
A Note on the Video Format:
Most of the videos here (with maybe a few exceptions use a Flash-Player format. This works fine on most PCs since it is a common format but I have discovered it does not always work on Apple devices (like my iPhone).
Eventually I will load some of these to YouTube so they can take care of all the formatting teckno stuff but for now these will work best on PCs.
Here's some 2017, 2018 Updates:
Here is the Siesta Key YouTube Video
Jingle Bells in Outer Space by Henry Chapman
A Few Cover Song Selfies - for PC in Flash Format - Not in YouTube
A Few Cover Song Selfies - for Apple devices MP4 format - Not in YouTube
Remember, this is 1980s video technology with the camcorder on a tri-pod while we practiced so don't spect too much. I might add a few more clips here in a little bit so you might want to check back a little later, but for now I just have this one sound byte.
We casually (and unofficially) called ourselves FreeBeer at the time (in hopes of drawing bigger crowds when we played places :-) ). There are only 3 of us (John, drums (and some backup vocals), Buddy, bass and me doing guitar and vocals) so the background gets a little thin when I tried to do guitar solos. it worked OK at times though. So enough blabbin, here it is:
FreeBeer, Late 80s Jam from a garage in McHenry, Illinois - PC (Flash) version
FreeBeer, Late 80s Jam from a garage in McHenry, Illinois - iPhone version
Next I took some photos of it to use to make my blog post more visual and interesting. Then I decided to get a few shots of me on it so I asked Dara to work the camera and take some stills and some video of me in action. I wore a hat because, for some reason, there is this bright glare that screws up the lighting if I don't :-). So here are the photos and video:
The Bike Trainer Video of me in Action
Anyway, this was never intended to be a big project so it is pretty short and I just used some old photos that I already had on my PC so here is a little:
90th Birthday Slide Show for my Dad
Don't forget to have your speakers on for the background music.
Sorry for the small images in this one... I must have been trying to keep the download size down or something.

Here' some vintage film footage converted to video and now on the internet!
Really cool OLD Family stuff!
My original version of this video had actual 60s music as the soundtrack and was banned on YouTube cause of the copyright infringements. Plus it was really small in size (due to old internet speeds and stuff)
OK, enough yakin here is the: Original 1960s Racing and Camping Movie Video!!!
You'll need to press PLAY on this one.
Note: I use the "Hot Rod Lincoln" song in the background because it fit pretty well although many of you will remember that my dads cars were Chevys! Sorry for the historical inaccuracy. :-)
Here is the news FULL ZIZE version on YouTube with a canned soundtrack:
Racing Camping Movies from the 50s and 60s!
Check out the 2009 Colorado Vacation Video HERE!
I was able to put some Basketball videos up on the homeKat/basketball page. I used avi format, which does work, but my versions do not "stream" so you have to wait for the whole thing to load before it plays...
Look for the "Movie" links on this page.
There's a short video of RC planes at Deer Grove at the bottom of this page. RC Planes at Deer Grove
OK, I've only included from Text Archive Page 11 (10/17/2005 to 10/22/2007) and later for now...
Some of my YouTube Video Links
A Note on YouTube Videos: I included a sound track on some of these videos that included popular songs. YouTube disables the sound (or adds a "buy this album" modification) when it detects copyrighted songs in videos.
My Old Live Village Squire Solo guitar and vocal videos...
Caseys Graduation Video on YouTube! (4min, 13sec)
The Yellowstone Video on You Tube (5min, 49sec) - NOTE: YouTube disabled my cool audio track since it had copyrighted songs. So much for a fun little audio track. Actually they have disabled the entire video now.
