"Girl of the
Finger Lakes" is a 40 minute documentary about my mother, Kathryn Puls.
She grew up on a farm in central New York during the Depression. There
is a general
audience version as well as an educational
version with a study guide available on Amazon.
I've been
uploading videos that I refer to
as "Music Shows" since 2001 at YouTube. I created
them to
enhance what I was singing about in my songs. Words and music
can certainly affect an audience, but when accompanied by a
visual
statement from the composer that experience can be greatly
increased.
I'm
certainly not saying that music can't be appreciated on it's own
merit, but I have found a wider audience when I have added
the visual
content. This has also allowed me to run the song through a
second
process in my head, which then stimulates new thoughts that come out in
the video. Here is a link to the "Music Shows."https://www.youtube.com/DavesFreshToones

I worked together with Bob Barancik and a number of other
talented artists on 8 Creative
Share videos. Bob is a tremendous innovator and
painter and he came up with the initial concepts for most of
these viedeos.
