      ultimately that's what creators settle for. these guys know how to create stories with photos and videos ( great to have acquaintances and friends who share your passions ) . at this point a podcast is irrelevant. then again this video is a podcast with more energy.

    Jerry, Gene and Sam have inspired me to create a continuous documentary RUclips channel, about my sick and suffering father who is a Great Story teller, Saddle Maker, Leather Crafter and Businessman. He now helps me in his retirement with my small leather goods shop. I want my Dad to make and teach how to build leather goods while intermixing telling his many interesting, funny and serious life stories. I also want to document the last year or so of the day to day exchanges we have in order to capture the time I have left with my beloved Dad. I want to give, seek and receive support from others who will share their stories with me about loved ones who don't have a lot of time. I believe an amazing exchange and support family could be created to help us all. You Tube has that power to reach many like me and can help us all. Thank you Jerry, Gene and Sam your video is proof of this power.

    "I don't know anything." "It's fine. It's easy". Always amusing when dealing with folks who have been doing something well for so long they don't really recall that they too had a (likely long) learning curve until it became 'easy'. Reminds me of when I was skiing for the first time and I was asking my friend who was 'teaching' me how you turn and his answer was "you just swoosh". Of a hard core gamer teaching someone entirely new and they don't even think about the fact that they have to go back to start with teaching people how all the buttons on the controller works and that just that piece could take weeks to become somewhat functional in using them without thinking about every single action.
