I write like a crab walks.<br /><br />It's a very well made video, and you should be proud of it. I have seen many professionally executed videos that make trivial things seem important, so I asked my readers to put your professionalism aside, and actually look at Manny. I thought he was a wonderful guy, and I said so, and applaud you for paying attention to him. <br /><br />SippicanCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940797380578921776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-19999130039832111782015-11-19T12:40:20.934-05:002015-11-19T12:40:20.934-05:00hello,

I appreciate you sharing it with other but i feel like your description is a bit unfair. <br />Manny approached us about making a video on him and we thought "why not?" We sat down with him and and got to know him in a personal level before we decided to make this short doc. Manny is a super interesting guy along with being one of the nicest people I've met. As well as his love for guitars Manny enjoys many other activities like studying different languages, oil painting, making furniture, mathematics as well as many many other things. He is a self described "renaissance man" and has even used the term to describe himself when first meeting him with a giggle in his voice. <br />The last thing we were trying to do was exploit Manny or spread "propaganda". We just wanted to help Manny tell his story any way we could. I'm glad you you took the time to watch it. <br /><br />thank youAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752399196060730084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-2488457933058797502015-11-07T08:15:50.827-05:002015-11-07T08:15:50.827-05:00We note with satisfaction he is missing no fingert...We note with satisfaction he is missing no fingertips.

Many people don't care if the man took ten years to make a guitar, they'll grab an ipicture of him "oh look dear, he's wearing a leather apron" and plunk down the dough and have bragging rights next time they entertain and Krystl and Timmy start in with their Mayan pottery again.<br /> Same with music, same with plays, get it on yer iphone and whew, that's one more thing out of the way. Living life on a two-dimensional screen is for, well, two dimensional people.<br /><br />UH is a fine band, maybe hit a clunker once and a while, see the sweat dripping, feel the energy, the energy and fullness cannot be canned and reproduced. I've played in some crummy bar bands in some seedy joints but the essence, the, ah, fifth dimension was there, shrug. <br /><br />Can you put together a compilation of the band's work, MP3 or whatever format you use to show us on the site or that you upload to YooToob? We can "rip 'em" charming phrase, d'load 'em to our decks and Bob's yer uncle. I betcha there are some readers more computer savvy than I (hell, I'm sixty-nine, first computer I ever had was Win95 OS). I know I'd pay some moola for a collection of eight, ten tunes. As it is, I think I can grab some of the band's work from offa your blog but an official Unorganized Hancock CD, now <i>that's</i> bragging rights.chasmatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962911972107586613noreply@blogger.com
