Video Recorded Sächsische Schweiz hilly climbing area and national park around the Elbe valley south-east of Dresden in Saxony, Germany. in October 17th 2018.
I usually perform LIVE and carry all my gear up. but decided on that day to lip-sync to a track from one of my cover CD's.
Just couldn't be bothered to carry all the gear up a mountain once again.
As rather new to editing videos, Misspelled the title of the song from:
Blowin' in the wind
To the more literary:
Blowing in the wind
In the Intro text....
Sorry guys!
