Happy (belated) Birthday, Jim Kukral
Okay, so I’m not always on time, but hey, this time (at least) it’s not (entirely) my fault!
Jim Kukral, a friend, and a good guy, sings Happy Birthday to anyone who asks, records it even in video, very nice thing to do, so I wanted to do that for him as he’s now approaching middle age kicking and screaming. 
So, I set things up real quick, knock off a video, throw in a little something aimed just at him, drag it into my computer, open up YouTube and get hit with a “we’re doing maintenance” (at least I’m not a YouTube Junkie going nuts, but still…)
So, video is done, and is loading to my site now, but still can’t display it just yet.
It’s coming though, and may well be worth the wait, or not, hehheh.
Anyway, Happy Birthday, Jim!
For now, maybe this link will work… edit, here’s the YouTube version.
This is on the deck right outside my home office. Yes, that’s my ‘good’ clothes for looking like the professional I am.
This was shot using my digital camera (Sony Cybershot). Just set it on my mini tripod, aimed it, and did it. There’s a slight glare from the sun off to my left, but hopefully the rest of the video is clear enough.
I’ll switch to a lighter/faster loading version asap, but for now YT is still doing maintenance and I don’t have the time to rework/edit this to make it smaller.
Jim Kukral:
ha, this was awesome. Nice work, and thanks! You can actually play, unlike me. And sing!!!

Ha! Jim, flattery will get you… If you want to torture yourself more you can hear me doing Johnny Cash’s “Get Rhythm” on the new YouTube Channel I set up for this site, to be able to post your B-day song. Was something I’ve been needing to do, so nothing like that for motivation. So, really, thanks to you, too.
