      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 UA-cam 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.
