This was a wonderful video. I teach history in Nashville and would love to use more of this type of video in my classes. Thanks so much for letting us visit the Frist during this time of pandemic. Please continue to make this type of video even after COVID19.

There is something wrong with this composition. The sea beyond the boat in the distance is very calm. A swell in the foreground must be evident in the entire sea.
