<p><span style="font-size: medium;">It took me about 5 days but I finally got my Canon Camcorder able to stream live video. Most new camcorders are not able to stream so you have to use a variety of software and hardware to do this. After testing two hardware pieces and returning those to the store, I picked up one that worked after using a third party software. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So what this means is we will be streaming live from the Dallas Guitar Festival. Unfortunately I can't really walk around the building while recording so the stream will come from inside the booth Stratage Guitars and I are using. Will it be rip roaring excitement? That remains to be seen but you will get a chance to see what the show is like and also see the Stratage Guitars in action. Not to mention we may get to interview some of the musicians walking around. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I will post some schedules tomorrow of what we think we will be doing. The only concern I have is that I am not sure how great our connection will be there. Test streams were pretty good but that was using my internet connection. If the speed is slow there, we may have some choppy video!! Let's hope that does not happen!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>

Just an ordinary guy with an ordinary job, music was a pass time until friends encouraged me to expand my music to a wider audience.
