  1. Beautiful work all around, Marion. Writing, singing, playing, coding, ease of use.... great job. Are your YouTube pages monetized? If so, when people view your videos on my site and click a Google ad, you make money. I do not monetize any of the videos I have made because the songs are not mine. The one exception is for one with my own lyrics, a friend's harp music, and her daughters' voices. It's called Song For Grand Manan and can be found with my site search engine at GEST Songs of Newfoundland and Labrador. Performance rights are granted for non-profit use. ;)
