Default Valentine's Day video

This is a video I put together as a little Valentine's Day gift for my wife.

It features the song, Wonderful Tonight, by Eric Clapton, with a few pictures sprinkled in from our life together.

I had posted a version of this song a month or so ago and got some excellent feedback from you all and I've been working on the recording off and on ever since.

It was a fun project, especially knowing what it was for, but it was also a great learning experience recording-wise. The tedious part was using MovieMaker to put it all together. Luckily, it never crashed on me the whole time I was working on it. That's the first time that's ever happened and this is the most complex piece I've ever put together using MovieMaker. Imagine that.

Enjoy..... Wonderful Tonight

Very nice Rob but I can't let my wife see this or she will kill me.

That's ok. I was wondering if I'd be around to read the comments.

I showed it to my wife just a little while ago and she loved it. She was pleasantly surprised and even a little teary-eyed.

Mission accomplished!

Great job, Rob! Love the way you interspersed photos of wife, family and wedding thruout the performance. I'm not at all surprised that your wife loved it.

Really nice, Rob - and a very sweet thing to do, too. Liked seeing the photo's, you put it together nice. Love the playing - the two guitars mix quite nicely together.

Thanks, y'all.

It was a nice Valentine's Day for the Mrs.

We went to Fredericksburg to do some antique browsing/shopping and had a nice lunch/dinner. It was a great drive in the country and a beautiful day.
