The link for The American Dream on YouTubes is HERE
Michael gave me waaaay too much credit at the end. He located most of the photographs, himself, but I offered what I had and could think of from the net. This is his original composition and him singing. I think he did a spectacular job on the video. Well worth a look. (I just discovered in inserting the vid that if you go to the link, the video is much larger. I'd recommend that and am taking off the code for the vid here)
The video is both timely and timeless.

Very moving Pris - love the song and photos!
Thanks, Julia..Michael's work is just so good!
I've watched this 3 times. Wow, do those photos bring back memories. "The best thing about being a middle aged folk singer is you get to hang out with celebrities" what a great line to start a song with!! Perfect as always!!
Thanks for the compliments, folks, but Pris was more helpful than she gives herself credit for. I needed a Butterfly lady - and there she was, getting wedding cake shoved at her. Also, her ideas brought the thing to life. (Why can't poets take compliments, I wonder?)
Okay....I'll be better at taking compliments:-). It's just that you're sooo good!
Aww, thank you. I've got another one done (and used 2 of the images you sent me, so thanks again). I'll be uploading it to youtube.com later tonight. But if anyone wants to see a high resolution version and doesn't mind downloading a large file, click on http://www.mmreadingroom.com/tara_sings.wmv The song was written for a friend of mine who now lives in Seattle. All feedback is appreciated.
Peace, Pris, and everyone else.
