I am looking for background music suggestions for my video of last summer's trip along the border (LLC to Fall. Instrumental-folk kind of stuff or any other suggestions would be welcome. It is a 20+ minute video so I need lots of help!

Astronautalis - This Is Our Science

Waterhole by The Outlaws.

Whitewater - Tony Rice

Smoothie Song - Nickel Creek

Leo Kottke
Youtube video example of his work

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald? (probably not)

Welcome to the jungle, Guns and Roses :-)

Everybody Needs A River

Rouge Valley. They make beautiful songs, many with nature themes.

Dobro music and paddling the B'Dub go very well together! Give this a listen. Ivan Rosenberg - Bluegrass Dobro

Grandma L, you're more than welcome to use any of mine as I have all my paddlesongs tracks (without vocals) in mp3 form. If you like, that way you wouldn't be subject to getting permission from copyright owners and such.

sending you an email.

Does it work like that - even if someone isn't putting it out for sale or anything commercial?

I like videos of this sort where the music is beautiful background and let the pics speak for themselves. Anything guitar or other soft instrumental, possibly even classical. Soft vocal like Enya(ish)? How about the Andy Griffith theme song "Come on down to the Waterhole" or something like that?

However, if Jerry V offered me to use his stuff I'd sure include it somewhere in my 20 minutes.

Can't wait to see your video.

Breakfast in Hell -Slaid Cleaves-

Jerry - Thanks so much! I will reply to your e-mail! This is a very generous offer!

Once I finish it - someone will have to teach me how to put it in a trip report or you tube thing. I am just learning to use Adobe Premier Elements so the learning curve is pretty high for me right now.

O.T. "Into the Wild"

Not a happy ending!

I don't have specific music to suggest, but I just learned that Photoshop has a bunch of music that it suggests as background music. If you right click on a photo and go through the options there is a bunch of music to choose from.

Theres a good song in there though. Hard Sun or something like that by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam.

Jerry,
Thanks for the instrumental tracks. The video is done with Vandiver credits included. Tomorrow I will make copies for the kids. The music is perfect! Thanks again. You are very generous to share with us!

Anxious to see and hear the results!

I'm going out on a limb and guessing Eazy E is out of the question?

+1. a genius of the guitar

Crosby Stills Nash had an a capello song with the words "mother earth" in it.....can't remember the name. Early CSN....always acociated it with that scenery for some reason.

Sorry I can't remember the song name. oth

My very first thought was to suggest anything by Jerry V. We're looking forward to seeing the final product.

Now, I need help and instructions how to put my video in the trip report section and/or how to put it on You Tube.

oops-double post

If you haven't already, you need to set up a youtube account. From there, your video edit ap should have something somewhere in the tool bar (my mac has a "share" category) in which you simply choose "youtube" and follow the prompts. It takes a while to load up so be patient and make sure your charger is connected.
