I shot this music video in the public library where I work in Takoma Park, Maryland. The melody is the old spiritual, "Oh, Happy Day." Thanks are owed to the Benson Family of Bethesda, Maryland, who joined me on the vocals and Scott Stead who did a great job on the video edit. http://www.scottstead.com

The Oh, Metadata! video was shot using the iSight webcam on my MacBook laptop.

Ralph Waldo Emerson poem -

To Laugh Often And Much

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child,a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.
