Memorial Day
It’s been raining here a lot recently, and I have been listening to the sounds of rainfall. In this song, I evoke the music of a passing rainstorm. This Memorial Day, it is dedicated to those who stood and sacrificed for this country.

Hooray! An article I read over the weekend gave me the news that our national parks and monuments have begun to reopen in many parts of the country. Also, our free public beaches and shorelines have begun to allow people back to exercise and just have fun in the sunshine. These places are great for […]
Today’s post is about vintage automobiles and today’s racers. They have announced that the first NASCAR race will be next week, but no crowds will be in the stands. Well, it’s all about the speed on television; they put viewers in the driver’s seat and the fans in the stands are a blur to the […]
This Sunday is Mother’s Day. I’d like to wish all you ladies and moms and grandmothers out there “Happy Mother’s Day 2020!” People like you make my world rock!

As you know by now, people have been talking about “flattening the curve” in combating the coronavirus pandemic. In this case, we agree a lower “u” shape curve is better than a higher “v” shape curve, or worse yet, a linear line straight off the chart representing deaths over time. Through prescribed social mitigation, we […]
Because a good old Western is what you need sometimes, I’ve produced a video set in the Old West. Most of the footage comes from Bodie State Historic Park in California. It is a mining town turned ghost town, still intact and weathered after all these years. Unlike the ghost-town-like feeling in today’s city streets, […]
As we stay at home, sometimes we begin to feel stir-crazy. If you are bored, I have an idea for you. Learn a song! It doesn’t have to be an original song of yours. It can be a copy, a “cover” as they say in the biz, of your favorite tune. How I made my […]
Today, we live in an uncertain time. People ask questions from big to small, from “Will I have a job in the future?” to “Do I have enough toilet paper today?” My belief is that we shall prevail through this pandemic; we will come out of it better than before and more prepared. Life, love, […]
“It was a dark and stormy night…” In the comic strip “Peanuts” by Charles Schultz, the character Snoopy always began his novels with this phrase. People use it as a beginning to their campfire ghost stories too. Today, I use it to launch the blog for this week’s video, “The Life and Death of a […]
