Give Me The Hammer

This song is the center of controversy as he is now unemployed. When you make a song that fails the PC challenge, something bad is bound to happen.

I think this man should be applauded for his dead on lyrics. Novembers coming and we are going to pound home our point.

He is The Reason

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Everyone enjoys a Mannheim Steamroller Christmas song. Add a Light Show and you have a perfect Christmas Spectacular.

Good-bye Paul

Paul Harvey died yesterday in Arizona at the age of 90. He will be missed. Our prayers go out to his family.
No matter how busy life was, many would stop and ponder the news with Paul Harvey. His unique style and tonal quality would hold your interest.
Now we finally know "The Rest Of The Story". Thanks Paul.

Playing Ball

Nothing like a little fun for Jerry.

Fun with Water

I thought these were great. Hope this lightens your day.

What Do You Think?

In the past we told stories around camp fires our passed on family stories verbally through tradition. The elders would tell tales of past adventures and normal daily activities so that those living today could take their place in the lines of tradition. The mind was a vast collection of stories and experiences. It's only limitation was the available knowledge of those near by.
The written word came along and brought accuracy and instruction into the world. No longer were you trapped by the knowledge you could glean from those around you. Books could be transported to far away places and still convey the knowledge that they contained. Imagination and creativity flourished as you attempted to place yourselves into the story or activity presented in a book. This intense stimulation of creativity caused a sudden increase in production and civilization became possible.
Radio was the next big change in communication. Stories that were once cherished family tales, became regional. You now could stretch the imagination once again with the spoken word. You were no longer limited by those immediately before you. The entire world was soon available to anyone who chose to listen.
Radio was quickly followed by the Television. It was professed to be the greatest communication tool ever. People from any where at any time could produce a program and place it before you. No longer did you have to seek out information, instruction or entertainment. It now came to you through a complex box. The adding of channels and choices has allowed this media to cover every topic on any day of your choosing. Yet, did this full immersion of information add to or take from society?
Now we have the internet. It is a complex mix of written word, spoken word, pictures and videos. It takes everything from a book to television and rolls them into one.

Now here is your part. How do you see the internet effecting society as a whole? Will it inspire greatness or mediocrity? Is it too much information? How will it effect your future?

The Writers

I not a big TV fan. My family has certain channels that we seem to get stuck on but most of them are older shows. The garbage that is put on the air today as actual entertainment needs a complete overhaul.

I don't even bother going to the movie theatre anymore. I worked as a lighting and special effects artist for a number of years and I find some of the new tricks interesting but the storyline and acting keeps me far away.

All that said, I find it hard to have sympathy for the writers. If they write of their own free will what I see on TV and in movies, than we need a whole new crop. The writers union should be disbanded and we should start over. The media has taken such a sweeping left turn that the only sound choice is to start over.
