Arthur says:

For the better part of the month Joelle has been working on her super secret video project. Well…it was actually only a secret to me, coz I made her keep it that way…and I’m so glad she did! It is AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!! It’s so good. It makes me cry. Enjoy!

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR: This music video is one of the few exceptions to our one-a-day video project this November. It was produced over the course of several weeks, with help from many friends who appear in it. Sincere gratitude goes out to all!

Arthur says:

Independent of the daily BLAMMOS DOES NOVEMBER hustle and bustle, Joelle has been working on two of her own masterpieces. I told her that I didn’t want to know what they were going to be. I wanted to be surprised. And this first one - her AMAZING cover of They Turned a Screw - frankly has me absolutely floored! Her second video that she has actually been shooting for a better part of the month off and on, will also be somethin’ else. Watch for that one tomorrow night…

But for now, enjoy this…
