As the days get shorter and nights get longer, I believe it’s time to literally “lighten up!” For this post, I have a video called “Neonpolitan,” which features The Neon Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A. Disney’s Electrical Parade inspired the original music, which seemed appropriate for these playgrounds: Disney theme parks and the Las […]
This week’s events in the news showed the destructive power of Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas. I would like to dedicate this week’s song and video to the past, present and future rebuilders. I hope they love their land strong enough to rebuild it, in just the same way (or better) as the world has […]
Traditionally, Labor Day meant the end of the summer holidays, back-to-school and work, with not another long weekend until November. Well, don’t despair. I have a little dance number on line this week to cheer you up. Before showing you this week’s video, I need to say there was a technical error with last week’s […]
There is musical progression within a song, and progression of a song over time. I offer to you today a mash-up of a song written many years ago. At first, we hear the original, demo version, played only by bass and guitar. Next, we hear a later version performed by the whole band, Then, we […]
This week, on a lighter note, we escape gravity and explore “Steam Punk” style. Steam punk, and punk culture in general, started as a style in the mid to late 1970s. At first, steam punk was a literary genre in the mode of H.G. Wells, and could be classified as science fiction or science fantasy. […]
This week’s video is a somber, ominous tale of recent, evening news stories. I started this song and video after the Sandy Hook school killings, and just completed it. It is an attempt to remember those who lost their lives, and the friends and family who suffer. My song references the writer of the song […]
On summer vacation, many people shop for items that, when they contemplate them again in the future, bring back memories of the time and place. I take pictures. I’ve assembled some together in this week’s video. It’s about my favorite spot on a beach — a place I could return to time and time again, […]
I’ve noticed more commercials on TV about pets, more delicacy food items in pet stores, and more built spaces for pets to play in our big cities. Our pets have become more a part of the family. No self-respecting video site should go without its own pet video, so I’m adding one of my own. […]
The 50th anniversary of mankind’s first visit to the Moon, on July 20, 1969, inspired this week’s video. About 9 years ago, I submitted the music to an on-line music forum thread called the “Great Orchestral Sampler Shootout.” All entries used the theme song from “Star Trek the Motion Picture” in MIDI format. The beauty […]
My move to a new home inspired this week’s post. The video is called “Before the Big Move,” and it is intended to portray the “before” pictures of a home renovation/remodel/furnishment. It features the original music of Harry Carson and performances by Harry (bass, guitar, keyboards,) and Wayne Carson (drums.). They provided the music for […]
