May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr

Geez! I’ve had sssoooo much grief today getting a video up on YouTube! So I had to decrease the resolution of it and THEN break it up in to two parts. Not that ANYONE gives a rat’s arse anyways…but…well, you know. I just do this shit for my own entertainment anyways. Nearly SIX hours I…
