Being a vidiot certainly has it's perks.

My Dad was a tough dude who didn't get warm and fuzzy that much. Had I not been able to sit him down, clip on a mic and become alpha male in the form of a producer, I would not have gotten this gold on tape. I'm thankful for being able to ask him these questions.
Now, this is twenty minutes of personal stories that may not be globally entertaining. This is just a tip of my hat to my Dad.

I'm gonna start offering this service to families with loved ones in their twilight years.
I'm also gonna start a documentary where I go from retirement hom to retirement home getting old stories from those with the most experience in this life. Gonna call it "Grandpa's Knee".
I think we all wish we could go back and sit on grandpa's knee and listen. Wish I would have had the time when he was tryin' to tell em when I was a kid.
I'd like to re-offer that to people.
 
very good. I like the images you chose and your father is a great story teller! Interesting life he lived. great job, I think that you can be successful in offering your services.
 
Your dad seems like a cool guy. Lucky you. I like your sentiment also, its quite admirable.

Your composition made me want to cry.
 
I really like what you've done. It's hard to capture a person's life in a meaningful way in an interview, and I thought you did a great job. I liked the way you used titles for the questions, the questions themselves were interesting, and I also agree that it helps a lot that your dad is a good storyteller. Thanks!
