Hi everyone, Believe it or not but I took these pics on the 2nd December when I was in Torquay for a party weekend with friends, looks just like summer. The music I chose for this show is by a guy from California and it's his arrangement of the Roy Orbison - Jeff Lynn composition 'A Love So Beautiful' I think he's done a marvelous job of this arrangement and knew as soon as I heard it that I wanted it for this show. Anyway long story short, the guy who plays this lovely music wrote to me via YT and said he had watched my presentation and said "just one word Ray 'Fabulous!!" It make me feel quite humble when talented people such as him make comments like that about my shows. Just one other thing I would like to mention, on Christmas Eve the viewings on my shows hit a quarter of a million, what a lovely Christmas present that was... Happy New Year, Ray www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLtXpVEJb9U

Thanks jorg,
Yes mate, the music is just perfect and such a lovely arrangement by this guy.
I get an enormous amount of satisfaction from the viewings I get on my YouTube channel, averaging 3,000 a week now but what is also rewarding is that when I search YouTube for for videos like 'London Sights' my video comes back as the No.1 video out of 4,000 videos! Of the seventy shows I have on my channel more than half occupy the No.1 spot out of literally thousands of videos and most of the rest can be found on the first page.
Another very rewarding feature is the sheer volume of comments and emails I receive, again in their thousands, it's just simply amazing, I have people like Ellie Harrison of Country file who contact me, Natasha Baker double gold Paralympian, Sofie Christensen triple gold Paralympian, Kathy Granger gold medalist, David Weir, what an inspirational that guy is. Pamela Copus of the American New Age band 2002 who's music I use often found me on Facebook and thanked me for using their music on my shows, in fact she was very complimentary about them. She sent me a signed copy of their latest album 'Believe' as a Christmas gift. So as you can see my You Tube channel has really opened up a very rewarding interest for me and allows me to share my photos with so many different people...
And finally one comment that I did find exceptionally touching was this one from a guy who has his own channel and subscribes to mine...
Hello Ray - You know I think one of the best things I ever did via You Tube, was to subscribe to your channel. Your photography and your presentation are so inspirational. I have now bought ProShow Producer 5.0 - and some of its respective packs to attempt produce my own slideshows in the near future. I can't thank you enough for pointing the way towards me being able to emulate your work. The other benefit is the music you have introduced me to, I now own several albums by the artists you use - albums I wouldn't have known existed if it hadn't been for you, I just don't understand this copyright business where music companies dis-allow music to back videos of your quality - can they not see that sales can be dramatically increased by exposure on YT. Thanks again Ray ....Ken

Ray, you've done an excellent job, matey - bang on in every respect. I've subscribed to your channel now, so hopefully (if Poo Tube does what it's supposed to do) I'll get notification of any more of your work as it comes through. Nice one!!

BTW Johnnybee, thanks so much for subscribing to my YT channel... One thing that did amuse me when I was going over the pics for this show was one of the seagulls, did anyone notice how he was eyeballing me as I was eyeballing him? I wondered afterwards if he was thinking, I hope that's not a gun he's pointing at me! Lol! Ray
