I'm only sorry the Estel and Elessar names were too subtle to use. I really wanted to. I had to listen to the audio track of the movie to find where Strider was named in Bree. The innkeeper's mouth isn't as good for that as Frodo's is. But the Aragorn naming works perfectly.

I adore Jim Croce! I've done a lot of his songs, and I was listening to some others last night. I'm currently doing City of New Orleans for original Star Trek, Willie Nelson's version.

By the way, if you want to get on my advance email list for announcements, it has the advantage that I sometimes put up things for them alone. Like a bad copy of Tom Lehrer's Smut that I probably can't find all the video to remake. maidavids@iment.com

Jim Croce things we've done:
Bad, Bad Leroy Brown - Darth Vader
Carwash Blues - Vila in B7
Love You in a Song - Spock/McCoy
One Less Set of Footsteps - McCoy/Kirk
Photographs And Memories (archived) - McCoy/Spock
I'm trying to remember what the song was where I have McCoy suiciding for love of Spock. Blank.

I know New York's Not My Home, but I don't know Dreamin' Again, though I might if I look up the lyrics, which I'll do.

The ones I was listening to last night, but haven't done are:
Lover's Cross - which I WILL do for Buffy/Spike - it's marked high priority
Operator - maybe Buffy; insecure
Don't Mess Around with Jim

The other singer I've been listening to recently is Cat Stevens. Love his stuff!

It's really wierd to go back and forth between writing and music videos. I've always only done one straight out, then the other. Whole different way of thinking to shift back and forth. I think it might be because I'm working digital that I can even think that way. I keep a project of all the clips I've captured for a particular show, with names that start with the episode they come from, so it makes for easy thinking about a song. So I don't have to rely solely on visual memory anymore. And I capture more than I need when I'm around good stuff, and that helps, too. There are markers that show if I've used the clip, so I can try to get SOME variety in the songs.

If there's anything you particularly want, let me know. I put things up by request when I'm changing what's current in a fandom.
