I wrote this piece "Castle in the Clouds" by John Francis.
Composed for my brother Ben's baby cradle business, Iron Mountain Wood. We have been working together on his website and it seemed like a very good idea for a video. The full version of this solo guitar lullaby is over three minutes long. It was quite fun putting this whole thing together.
Video Description:
Ben Francis Introduces His Unique Line Of Custom Baby Cradles By "Iron Mountain Wood." Ben is a master craftsman. He has built everything from log homes and conventional housing, to apartment buildings and shopping complexes. He is now retired as a building contractor, but his love of wood led him to refining the cradles that have become a long tradition in his family. Footage includes a brief, but personal look at his family, his shop and the materials that go into making these family heirlooms, which he now shares from his family to yours.
