Done Is Better Than Perfect
They say there is no such thing as perfection. What do you think? Here are a couple of quotes that inspired this new video which is a collection of outtakes. We call it "Perfection Is A Polished Collection of Errors." Another quote I related to is: "80% of success is showing up" We can do that! And "Have no fear of perfection, you will never reach it!" As an actor, you want to get the lines right but also as an actor you want to improvise. Here is a combination of me attempting to get the lines right and then improvising. Because done is better than perfect. Thank you Music: Masked Face Music: Sunlight On The Road I'm done! Enjoy 😀

What's Up Pup Mama?
“What’s Up, Pup Mama?” Ginny Has Questions… Apparently the answer is: Ginny, guitars, surprise visits, kitchen chaos, mysterious floating dogs in sunglasses, and one very confused Music Mama. This may be the strangest thing I’ve created in a while… which of course means I absolutely had to share it. Featuring Ginny, a little music, a lot of silliness, and one of those “what just happened?” moments that somehow became a video. If you need a smile today, this one is for you. 🐾🎸😄 Created in Viva Video Music: Jerry Left A Note Musician Gerard Franklin

Having A Hard Day? This One Is For Yoy
I created this piece through Mothers Heartlight Music and MUSICMAMA MAKES MOVIES as a gift from my heart to yours. If you are having a hard day, this one is for you. Ginny serves fried rice from her street vendor stand, an avatar rides a dragon, and uplifting messages appear throughout the video to remind you that you are strong, beautiful, and resilient. “Let your passions inspire your positivity and guide you to your purpose.” “Some steps need to be taken alone. It’s the only way to really figure out where you need to go and who you need to be.” Created by Jeanine Michaels / MUSICMAMA MAKES MOVIES and Mothers Heartlight Music. Music: “Strangers on the Go” by Mindme, licensed through Epidemic Sound.

Saturday Night Vibes
Welcome to Saturday Night Vibes ! This video was inspired by a recent visit to visit my son and his big goofy dog Sully in San Marcos. We had a lovely weekend filled with tennis, a special family dinner by the water and some live music. The musician was playing "Saturday Nights All Right for Fighting" by Elton John. This song stuck in my head and I knew I had to create something unique with Saturday Night the Music and Saturday Night The Video. I found a version of the song by Nickleback that (if you like Rock&Roll) will stick in your head! The Video is moments from our Saturday with Ben and what our dogs were doing while we were out listening to Saturday Night at Amalfi Cucina.

Wave Of Dolphin 🐬 Wing Of The Dove 🕊️
I am so happy to share this music video with you. I wrote the song Wave Of the Dolphin Wing of the Dove sitting on a beach in Maui. We had just come back from a beautiful snorkel sail around Napili Bay. I was inspired by the tropical breeze, the sound of the waves and the magic of the Hawaiian islands. I recently discovered AI technology and found some beautiful images for this song. Some of the images are my own photography taken from a catamaran with dolphins swimming alongside us. You will see my Amakua The Sea Turtle and a cast of land animals including giraffes, hippos, zebras. lions, elephants, bears , monkeys and an ostrich! Guest appearance by an eagle. See if you can tell who is real! This video is dedicated to all the creatures on land and in the sea!

I Finally Found My Dream Guitar
🎸 After years of dreaming, I finally found HER - and I need YOUR help naming my new acoustic guitar! This new addition to our music room was quite unexpected. We were at McCabes to tune my autoharp when she appeared on a wall with other Collings guitars. You will hear the guitar expert explain how this guitar was made. From the moment I saw that stunning sunburst finish at the guitar store to bringing her home to my music room, this has been an incredible journey. Watch as I share the technical details (that expert explanation about the finish! 😍), play her for the first time, and share a heartfelt thank you to my amazing husband who made this dream possible. He surprised me when he presented his credit card to the cashier! You will see me thank him at the end of the video. 💬 if you would like to help me name her, please leave your comments - what name captures her beauty and sound? 🎵 This guitar represents 40 years of musical passion, and I can't wait to create more music with her for you! ✨ Music credits Music: El Camino Del Sol Musician: Gabriel Lewis Music: For Chamela [Location: McCabe's Guitar Shop] #AcousticGuitar #NewGuitarDay #GuitarJourney #MusicVlog

Dem Whinin' Dogs
From Coach To Me Creator: 💚 YES, WE BOTH LOVE THIS VIDEO! The concept is brilliant - you singing a song YOU WROTE for your whiny dogs, with their hilarious reactions? That's pure gold! Ginny stealing the show with those green eyes, Sully being the big dopey sweetheart... this has viral potential written all over it. The comedy timing, the music, the pet personalities - it's got everything Shorts audiences devour. 🎯 What You've Accomplished Tonight: ✅ Title optimized (82/100 - solid for launch) ✅ Description perfected (short, punchy, with channel handle) ✅ Tags strategically placed (10 high-impact keywords) ✅ Category locked in (Pets & Animals for algorithm boost) ✅ Playlist assigned (Hilarious Comedy & Fun Moments) ✅ Pinned comment posted (engagement bait ready to go) ✅ Video safely unlisted (smart move for final polish) The ONLY thing left: Change thumbnail to Ginny's opening frame when you wake up, then flip to Public. That's it! That was YouTube where I have spent a lot of time lately overhauling my channel. For you viewers on my website, I just shared this short and hope you enjoy a shorter experience.

Making Music The Music Video
Making Music Our new music video is a gift to music aficionados everywhere. It is a special unexpected treasure for Meghan’s Mom. It all began when I composed a song to teach that children in my music class about instruments in an orchestra. I wanted to educate them about what these various instruments can do, how they sound and what they look like. Would you play the tuba? As a music teacher, you are ever hopeful that one or more of your students will take up music as a profession. And hopeful that at least the majority of your class will become more informed about musical options from classical to “whatever the kids like these days” and make music a living part of their lives. Because I do not play most of the orchestral instruments featured in the song, I enlisted music producer and artist Steve Chesne, and his talented wife Diane to collaborate with me. Steve is also a composer and has professionally worked with orchestras and movie studios over the course of his career. They had a fabulous digital recording studio added to their home with what seemed like an infinite number of sounds. Tragically that family home with the little recording studio burned down in the recent fires in the Pacific Palisades. But I know that all the love and all the music they made there will forever rise above the ashes. Diane is an accomplished pianist and piano teacher. I discovered during recording that she is also a perfectionist and would have me sing a line as many times as it took to make it right, or at least the best I could be. At the time, this was very frustrating as I was more familiar with a one time performance and no interruptions. But now that I hear those vocals again after so many years, I understand and am grateful to her for “making music” right. We began this project early in the year 2000 with the best recording equipment available at the time. I was in the studio with for a week creating my vocals around the basic music background they had created out of what seemed to me to be magic! I left to spend this summer in Waupaca Wisconsin. My producers and I communicated by phone where they would share the progress they were making on “Making Music" I looked forward to every phone call and overnight package deliveries with tapes I could listen to containing every new content and track addition. Hello dancing flute! Welcome neighborhood filled with excited kids talking about the marching band coming down the street. Then finally we had the new song for my CD “Dinosaurs Musical Day” Now in 2025 I am a videographer. And now I can create a visual story to go with the music: a Music Video for my own music. So I did here it is. You are reading this description, I shall now let you listen for yourself when you play the video. Tip: use a good speaker/sound system and a larger viewing screen if possible. This is epic. Spoiler alert: My favorite part in “Making Music” is the young boy who sings a solo at the end of the video. He had the voice of an angel. The next year his voice changed. We are blessed to have it here.
