Crystal Blue Persuasion


Music by Tommy James&the Shondells.I used my own video compilation in the begining consisting of 8mm home movies: my sister petting my brother's head (1956), me riding the bicycle (1964) plus other stock documentary footage. This was to fill in the gap up to 1:27 due to lack of complete video which was from a VHS video called VH1: 70's Music Video Album (1990) that aired on tv in 1990; I snaged (partially). Wood Knapp Video served as the distributer that last I heard closed up shop. They used to sell VHS tapes. I hope the original stuff of mine worked, to add to the remaining video. This was done in response to critisicm received from viewers that noticed the piece being incomplete and fragmented, without the begining. The whole music track was slowed down a bit to sync up the video, music and new footage. Most can not tell. Thanks to all those that posted positive feedback!

I lost my virginity to a girl named April while listening to this song in late 1969. This song and April will ALWAYS have a very special place in my heart!
