And Finally, Video of RockErie Music Awards

August 30th, 2007 · 4 Comments

I wanted to have this video out last Monday but my video program keeps crashing. I guess I need a reinstall. I had to settle for shuffled clips in no particular order. My camera battery was acting up and I think I missed a band or two. I tried to get at least a couple seconds of everything.

    Wonderful list but can’t say that I have heard of any of them before! Hmm, What’s wrong with the video thing? What service have you been using?

  • 2 linda // Aug 30, 2007 at 1:05 pm

    Are the videos not working for you? I use blip.tv for hosting. I use 3 different software programs and tweak them all. I think some parts have a compatibility problem. Plus my computer doesn’t have enough memory to support long videos and will often crash after putting in all that work. But as long as the computer works otherwise, we won’t be buying another one.

    The awards were for Erie bands only. Hopefully some of them will make it big and this may give them a kick start. Pat Monahan from Train is from Erie. Jake’s Blues is fairly well-known even outside of our region.

    what happened to the blues band category?

  • 4 linda // Sep 15, 2007 at 11:13 pm

    Rats! I missed that one. I don’t have the program anymore with all the nominated bands but I do know that the blues was won by Jake’s Blues.
