I never heard of the Detroit band, The Atomic Fireballs.
Yeah, Parler is back, like I posted in my thread about Parler sending me emails for three years after they disappeared. Thread about Parler
The first band video of K-Wild is 5:38 long and an edited version with their studio recording used for audio. Those guys were good friends of mine and were doing really well for many years until the singer Danny K died of cancer.
Then there are three 30 second clips of local boat parties and one with the two bears that waltzed right up my driveway in broad daylight.
After that is The Atomic Fireballs three-part video from 1999. The Fireballs were a "jump swing" band from the 90s when swing dancing was making a comeback. Their music was featured in a number of movies, particularly in the Scooby Do movies. I had their demo CD before they signed with Atlantic Records and "made it". Here is the Wiki article link.

I was thinking about other "unknowns" I have video of, but the audio on many is distorted from the high volume in the small venues. Plus we are talking about analog VHS tapes digitized into AVI and then converted into MP4 or MOV files for internet use.
I'll edit some more live band material to get used to the editing program, but not much more. I am moving on from that subject matter and want to work on something entirely different now. All digital work from the beginning. I'll see what footage I have in HD format and then work on new stuff using that format going forward.
After I created the tags and text for search engine results, I got better view totals.
I noticed that I got around one hundred views per hour for around six or so hours when it slowed and leveled off. Then adding the tags and text boosted them up, even the older video posts.
The Fireballs are getting over three thousand views in one day. I don't expect them to get more than 5,000 views like the K-Wild video is at right now.
