My buddy James Britton is currently a junior at VT and released his debut album over the summer. I decided to make a music video for him, and just finished the production yesterday. His music is available on iTunes (the iTunes link is in the description on the YouTube page), and I'm sure he would appreciate some support from fellow Hokies.
Take a listen! Thanks guys

Liked it. Are the other players students also? Love the trumpet.
I believe I replied to you on the page but yes they're all current students.
Thanks! That's great.
-It's the new YouTube Comments (as the pop-up reminds me everytime). Who knows if I'll ever see it?
I'm a bit of a musician myself, although he's much more talented than I am. I played sax in school, and taught myself guitar/ukulele/piano, and enough mandolin to learn my hands are too big for the neck. I really enjoyed the song, especially since it didn't sound like a cookie cutter song (i.e. basic chords, straightforward rhythm, simple bass line). My favorite part musically was the little harmonic riff he added twice. A small suggestion would be to end the solo during the chorus. As a guitar player, I am super impressed that he can sing and play a solo riff at the same time, but it sounds a bit muddy with the vocals over it. Its difficult to distinguish the notes. Love the funk though.
By the way, is there any way I can just meet up with him, and give him more money than itunes will, but less than I'd pay for the cd on itunes, to get the cd? Because even though I listened to it, and the rest of the cd isn't as funky as this song, I am definitely interested in purchasing it. If that is an option it is a win win right?
Nice! And good job on the video!
