Dear Patenttranslator,I used to listen every music video your blog but since now I am in China and the internet here is blocked and I can’t watch the music video on your blog. What a shame. I have been reading your blog for almost a year now and I like it very much. Keep on writing! kind regards,Nico

I always read you, but do not listen to the videos.
Cheers!

Ok, thanks.
So far it looks like less than half the people who read my blog watch the videos.

Unfortunately I cannot listen to the music or watch the videos since most of the content is blocked in Germany due to copyright issues 😦

Yes, I heard this from other readers on Germany too.
People in other countries are free to watch music videos on Youtube.
But not in Germany or China.
China is a totalitarian state, but I wonder, what’s wrong with Germany?

I voted yes, but I do so only occasionally, mostly when the picture is of a person in lederhosen (especially playing an accordion) or it looks like the video is “vintage,” like the clips from old TV shows, or traditional in some way. And I am not kidding, although I can’t really point to an example of a video in which there was a guy in lederhosen (hint). But you posted a Czech song set in a rustic village not too long ago, and I enjoyed that. I think I’d miss the feature if you stopped doing it, but if it takes too much time or you’re just tired of it, I wouldn’t hold it against you. I come here for your written posts, and the videos are a nice extra.

Thanks, Paula, you gave me something to think about.
I am also thinking of having other polls as well.
I think my new poll will be on whether readers think that my posts are too long. I read somewhere that an optimal length for a post is 300 words (or was it 500 words?)
BTW, your blog has great design. I am looking forward to some content.

No, I don’t, regrettably. As always, a matter of time. Ricky

OK, so I will not be picking music that I think you might like since you’re not going to listen to it anyway.
