If you open
this page
you will see that Tom has been busy again and within the last 24 hours has just posted on this site
two more probable gems that I am eagerly waiting to enjoy courtesy of this rotten slow dial up connection
these are:-
The Patriots Dream

and Leaves of Grass

instead of (or perhaps as well as I have yet to check) to youtube or daily motion just to confuse everybody??
Or is he just hedging his bets??
a quick perusal of "more from this user" reveals that possibly all the GL vidstories are also on live video
plus many more (I spotted one about Chelsea,London where "Tom spent some time in Chelsea and wrote a fine tribute to this place in London made famous by its Soccer Team, Buckingham Palace, Scotland Yard and Joni Mitchell"
also Landslide by Stevie Nicks and TWOTEF part 2
I must get around to subscribing to Tom's channel so that I can claim my free video as I have a suggestion regarding a vidstory involving my home town of Sherborne Dorset England, Sir Walter Raleigh and Bob Newhart.
I also found the delightful "New Zealand" video that Tom used as a demonstration during our memoriable studio visit back in Novwember 2006. it is at:-
Karekare My-Home
Note that the New Zealand Maori's alphabet has according to our guide last May in the wonderful Te Puia Museum in Rotorua

the same 5 vowels as English but only 17 consonents, most of which seem to be a W K or P!!!
Example the geothermal springs in that museium's area are known as the
Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley

but in Maori "Wha" is pronounced not as in "wha"-tever but the same sound as the first letter of a rude Anglo Saxon word that rhymes wiht "tuck"!!
