I’ve been one of the chief instigators of Blue Beanie Day since 2007.

This year, I made a video to help promote it.

This video is my official entry in the Ford ‘Fiesta Movement’ contest. Ford is looking for 100 agents to test drive the new Fiesta for 6 months. The 100 winners will get FREE use of the Fiesta, plus gas and insurance for 6 months (and looks like the winners will also get a Sony Webby cam to video all their adventures).

I filmed this video in Dearborn, Michigan on location at Henry Ford’s home, my home, Ford world headquarters and the Henry Ford Centenial Library (also in Dearborn).  Several Vos family members show up in the video.

Please re-post this link ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOkDx7NLaNo ) on your blog or Twitter it to all your friends.  I need your help to create a lot of excitement with this video by March 23rd, 2009.

When I reach my goal (driving the Fiesta for 6 months and making more cool videos), I’ll be posting more fun, fun, fun, fun Fiesta videos on another new website I’ve created:  FiestaFreedomRide.com

My Taylor Guitar

I learned to play on the Gibson guitar back when I was 16 years old. The Gibson served me well for many years, but developed a crack.  Then a couple years ago I sold a car, and bought a new Taylor guitar.

Doug plays his guitar at a wedding…

I played guitar and sang a few songs I wrote at my wedding, back in 1980. Once in a while I play my guitar at someone else’s wedding — although mostly my daughters play their string quartet music — for violin, viola, and cello.
