Launching off into Youtube territory!


I cannot wait to share this video with you which I filmed to go along with my memoirs.  It was written on the occasion of my Father's second marriage, one year after I went to live with him. I protested that he was not ready for marriage, had never been ready for marriage, but in vain.  I worked on this video all day yesterday.  I can still see room for improvement, but I am very excited and have plans for future videos.  I have already asked my son Raymond to come and let me film him reading one of his poems.  He promises to do so before he leaves for Utah in less than a month!

Go to Youtube and then to GerryKing40 which will show you my videos.  I do not want to embed them here because they will elongate the lines!  

I welcome your criticisms.  Gerry

    I just watched your video. First, the poem is wonderfully written, so passionate, so detailed. Next, you are so wonderfully dramatic in your recitation of the poem. Third, you look marvelous! I hope that you do more videos on You Tube.--Sheria
