Three of my Videos on Vimeo

Well I finally finished producing three of my eight videos. This year I decided to shoot from different angles and splice them together. Let me know what you think.

On your first video, A Soldiers Silent Night, originally titled "Merry Christmas, My Friend" and written by Lance Corporal James M. Schmidt in 1986. The audio recording was done by Father Ted Berndt and his daughter Ellen Stout in one take. Father Berndt has since passed away (3/19/2004), but his life's mission lives on - "to touch lives and make a difference."



There is also a version by The Demented Elf which is very nice.

Thanks for that info, I have been curious about. Is there somewhere we can hear The Demented Elf version?

I sent it to him lasty year and asked him to record it. He sent it to me and did not ask for any money. I don't see why I can't share it, but out of respect, I want to check with Kevin first.

I can totally understand that. I dont plan on using it in a show, I wouldjust like hear his reading because it is such a touching poem. I served 10.5 years so It has meaning for me.

The Demented Elf is happy to share.

I am retired Army and first served during Vietnam. I too, am touched by this poem.
