Fear of disease weighs over us as we watch our dream jobs disappear, businesses close, savings dwindle, and relationships that were pretty good, are now hanging by threads.

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When I began working full-time right out of high
school, I met someone who became my mentor. Bill had his own daughter but
served as a father-figure to me. Bill and I last spoke as he lay in a hospital
bed before his death in 2001. I can almost see his warm smile in my mind’s
eye, albeit an unfocused past memory, greeting me from such a cold and sterile
placement beneath bleached white hospital sheets.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Although not my boss, I had assisted Bill and other insurance claim adjusters over those past years and worked particularly closely with him. His special interest in me, at 19-years-old, was something I sorely needed at an impressionable time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Maybe I wasn’t very perceptive at that point,
not quite as insightful as I’ve grown to become. At Research Medical Center in
Kansas City, where I lived, I visited him one last time but was clueless as to
how soon he’d be gone. It wasn’t obvious to me then how Bill’s illness
from cancer meant his death was imminent and only later would I look back and
see what an impact he had on me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

Beatles?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">“Well, of course I do,” I laughed in reply.</span></div>

once held for them, they still rated right up there with the Stones, Janis
Joplin, and Jim Morrison (all the greats without whom we would have modern rock-and-roll).
Stuck in my alt/grunge phase, I grooved more on Soundgarden, Nirvana and Pearl
Jam around then but still felt my old rock roots.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #cc0000;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

you. It used to be mine, and I want you to have it.” Little did I know he
owned the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">White album</i> by The Beatles
and gifted it to me for college graduation. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was an original copy released in 1968 when I
was yet a baby, maybe bought when he was a college student himself. Although I
knew that was his era, he’d never openly shared about his love of music. Bill
grew up in a farming community, but I always considered him more of a
“corporate” type person, and never would’ve dreamed him being a rocker back in
his day. All the stereotypes I’d used to categorize him, all the ways I
mentally pre-supposed him, crumbled. We became more than former co-workers at
that moment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sure, I’d gone on claims with him, and he’d told
me Mafioso legends about cars with bodies stuffed in trunks amidst Kansas City’s
underground storage. I always felt a kinship with Bill and took off work
specially to travel to his retirement party. Though I thought he held me in
similar regard, I never knew us as such kindred spirits musically until receiving
that present. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

genuine collector’s item. One of the first things I noticed, though, was
an inscription inked on the cover. Bill’s wife made it personal to me, destroying
its monetary value. No matter, though, as <i>my</i> gift from my surrogate dad
meant more than that to me. He could have done anything with that album but wanted
me to have it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

workers want better for their children but may not know how to help them move up
the proverbial ladder. I wanted to break through the glass ceiling but needed
someone to nudge me in the right direction. Bill even offered to help me find
somewhere a full-time student could afford to live. </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Remember, I was </span><i style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">not </i><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">his kid. He personified the cliché of someone who would give
you the shirt off his back. That was just him. </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I typed many student reference letters at his
request for scholarship or admission applications on which he scrawled a very
physician-like signature. I can’t imagine how many he, as a school board
member, wrote over the years or the number of kids he helped besides me and his
own daughter. </span></div>

“Blackbird” of the epic Fab album years later. I’d forever worried about never
having any children. Being within a few hours of delivery and scared out of my
wits, I needed to calm down en route to the hospital. Listening to that steady
intro tap like a metronome helped slow my shaky heart. The music settled my
nerves, and the diminutive 2:18 cut played on repeat the entire drive. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The chorus soothed me. “All your life, you were
only waiting for this moment to arise.” That was me. I could only hope to be
someone like Bill, a mentor to my child, readying my child to go out into the world
one day, and I could hear his voice in those lyrics.</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Everyone wants to intimately connect with the musicians, and the only channel for us mere mortals would be via audio. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A new drug hit the streets last November, and it is called the Esher Demos.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This brilliantly raw acoustic compilation, (remember MTV's "Unplugged"?) is your channel to The Beatles. Finely-tuned ears will recognize the impromptu hand-claps, the banter, the intimate chatter, the guitar-picking, alternate lyrics and so much more. The brilliance of the disc will give you goosebumps and, sadly, leave you wanting more.</span></span></div>

This separate disc contains 27 tracks that were recorded informally at the end of May, 1968, at George Harrison's bungalow, which was named Kinfauns, in Esher, England. The band decided to play their individual songs for each other, in a private environment, prior to heading to EMI Studios to record. The venue chosen for this event was George's home, simply because he owned a professional-grade four-track tape recorder that they would use to capture their work. </span></span></div>

The Beatles were pretty stressed at this moment with the unwavering madness of Beatlemania, marriages, impending divorce, babies, drugs, affairs, and the loss of their beloved manager, Brian Epstein. The band was in the process of starting Apple Corps Ltd and, oh yeah, they had to keep producing music for the record company. So in an effort to "find the answer" and have a reprieve, the four packed their wives/girlfriends and went to Rishikesh. In some stolen (and not stolen) moments at Rishikesh, John and Paul wrote a number of songs. It's been reported that George frowned upon this, as he felt that focus should be upon spiritual awareness. Regardless, the three songwriters returned with a thick file of songs.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What will you hear? As usual, Paul McCartney, the always prepared student, came to class ready to crank out pop-ish contributions, such as "Ob-la-Di, Ob-la-Da," "Back in the U.S.S.R.," "Blackbird," etc. The songs were very organized and succinctly performed. Finely tweaked, light, airy and sunny, Paul sets his sugary-sweet candy-bar pretty high. But my favorite tune from the session was a song which did not make it onto the White: "Junk." And it is hardly "junk;" though the lyrics are not complete, the melody is a beautiful product which Paul eventually releases on a solo album years later.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Conversely, the main course, the meat if you will, is provided by John Lennon and George Harrison. Meaningful, substantive work by the two Beatles who were using their music as the conduit for a wide range of emotions. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">One of The Beatles' finest recordings, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," begins in infancy at Esher. Sans the driving urgency of Eric Clapton's lead guitar, fans can detect a few altered lyrics, but mostly felt in this track is George Harrison's heartache and grief...you can almost taste the salt of George's tears. Stripped of the wall of sound, George's words are passionate and moving. Additionally, George unveiled three songs at Esher which were not chosen for the White. "Circles," "Sour Milk Sea," and "Not Guilty" are dripping with George's venom and admonition. At this moment in the world of Beatle, George was increasingly frustrated. He was the little brother who was pooh-poohed and not taken seriously. But George had real advice for his brothers: </span><br />

And does that matter? Of course not. John's raw lyrics and performance exposes a wide range of emotions: confusion, depression, anticipation and desire in a new love, grief and loss of his marriage and relationship with his son, and the lingering loss of his mother. John transfers his multiple sentiments into each song. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">

<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The song I find the most intriguing on the demo is a track that once again did not make it onto "The White Album." Paul and John penned similar songs while they were in India, resulting from a lecture by the Maharishi about man's relationship with nature. "Mother Nature's Son" was written by Paul; "Child of Nature" was written by John. As John Lennon expert, Jude Southerland Kessler points out: "John was no child of nature and his performance of this song indicates his lack of seriousness on the topic." Interestingly, (and thankfully) John later transforms this song into a completely different message, a topic that Kessler adds, "John had more experience with" - "Jealous Guy." Listening to "Child of Nature," you will be mesmerized by the "Jealous Guy" melody which lies beneath John's playful words about a concept to which he was not particularly drawn.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I've read a lot of opinions which point "The White Album" as an "individual" project. Even though each member brought his own work to Esher, the demo is proof that they were still a family working together to create another masterpiece. Almost like, I must say, a band of brothers.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Harrison was craving the radiance of the warm sunshine at the end of a winter that was particularly difficult, for professional reasons and likely, personal as well....which led to his monumental song: <b>Here Comes the Sun</b>.</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">George Harrison was an exceptional gardener and musician. The chaos he was exposed to during his life ultimately led him to seek peace and quiet in the garden. Of course, George's garden was (and continues to be) in a completely different category than my garden. George's garden is what I call a <i>Beatanical Garden</i>...lavish horticulture on a mania level. The quiet Beatle lived at Friar Park which is an exquisite estate, and he shaped the gardens - one thoughtful and purposeful day at a time.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Heard them in mono...It's the equivalent of saying you haven't really </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">read the Bible if you haven't read it in Hebrew.

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You can trace the origins of mono recordings back to the earliest Edison </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">wax cylinders, played back though a single "horn" or speaker. Mono, or </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Monaural, means "of, relating to, affecting, or designed for use with </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">one ear." The easiest way to think of it is as a single point of focus </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">in a recording, or even easier, a recording meant to be heard through a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">single speaker.</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Oh how I wish that John Lennon had written a memoir like this</span><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Keith Richards (aka "Keef"), completely exposes himself in his autobiography, "Life," which was published in 2010. In typical Richards fashion, he entertains you with his crass, abrupt, non-PC, fall on the floor funny stories which were probably more entertaining than seeing a Stones show. Written like a true swamp rat, Richards displays his intelligence (which may surprise readers,) unpredictable sensitivity and wicked sense of humor. My husband gave me the book for Christmas and he expressed that perhaps I'd like to read about another band.... I wasn't really too sure about that until I began reading "Keef's" pirate stories and I was "hooked."</span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The very obvious theme throughout the book is that Keith Richards plays by his own rules. <i>Rock and Roll, Baby.</i> The very intricate details he recalls during the days of his worst chemical addiction conjured the image of a warped James Bond movie. I pictured Keith Richards (as himself,) setting up specific plans to get drugs and intricate escape routes from coppers all over the world. The events developed into vivid and rollicking stories. </span><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Richards, admits he grew up "across the tracks" in meager environs, eventually residing in mansions and castles, but still feels like he's living "across the tracks." I chuckled over the fact that he named his massive home in Connecticut: Camelot Costalot. He has a complete story to tell: co-founding the Rolling Stones and band the X-Pensive Winos, jamming with his idols, marrying a supermodel, having children and losing friends. He reflects upon these memories quite poignantly.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I often read </span><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">quizzes which question which band was better, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones. Well, you can't compare the two. In an honest musical manner that is. Yes, they are both from England and most of the musicians were from meager backgrounds, and both bands launched the British Invasion. But the apples and oranges comparison can not be debated because both bands created different styles of rock and roll, which were trailblazing. In short, The Stones were a raw, dirty blues band and The Beatles were clean and innovative.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Edgy and direct, Keith Richards extends a wavering middle finger as he shares his stories of "Life." He stated that he always gets asked why he doesn't retire and he responds by saying that he doesn't do it for anyone or for the money. He is doing it for Keith. </span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was a little sad when the tale was finished, and I highly recommend the story to you all.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">*It is my suggestion that only very mature audiences take in the nearly 600-page book. While I found the shock value highly entertaining, I believe that the rock and roll images should be read by mature folks. He will disclaim many times throughout the book that he in no way condones the behavior...and he also falls back on the "that's rock and roll" bit quite often.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I enjoyed the hours hanging out with Mr. Richards. I found his honesty to be the tragic formation of the man he is today. Richards IS the ultimate storytelling pirate. Of all time.</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">1) Keith was a Boy Scout. He states that one of the best things that happened to him as a youth, was being a member of the Seventh Dartford Scouts, Beaver Patrol (imagine that);</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">2) Keith was bullied in school, which explains his raucous behavior later in life (See also item #7);</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">3) In 1955 he performed at St. Margaret's Church in Westminster Abbey, in front of the queen. His school choir was winning national level competitions and Keith was one of the three sopranos, they were "the stars." He thrived in that role, but when the boys experienced the adolescent Peter Brady voice change, they were kicked to the curb (which made him quite bitter, See also item #7);</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">4) As a young boy, he had two pets: a cat and a mouse. Gladys, the little white mouse, would go to school in his trouser pocket; he would talk to her and feed her throughout the day; shake out the droppings in the evening;</span><br />

I fell in love with this sitcom which was filmed in a "mockumentary" style that panned the employees at a failing fictional paper supply sales office. The camera brilliantly captured all of the glances, grins and grimaces from the adorable cast which included Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer and B. J. Novak. Carell played Michael Scott, a regional manager with a huge heart, but lacking management skill. Consistently dreaming up themed parties and spirited sales meetings, Michael Scott's drive to be loved was endearing. Michael was mostly a complete idiot, but it was so fun to love him.</span></span><br />

If you have ever worked in an office or similar environment, it was quite easy to compare several of the characters and situations to that place we reside 40 hours of each week. Every Thursday my family would fall in line to view what kind of mess Dunder-Mifflin would experience.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Once Carell departed the show, the story line fell apart and the much loved characters were not able to keep the momentum. You could literally feel the splashing water as the sitcom writers jumped the shark by featuring celebrities such as Will Ferrell and James Spader. With the exception of seeing my late best friend, Maggie McHugh's cousin, Pete Hulne, as a recurrent character in the final episodes, the love was gone.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The sitcom can be seen on NetFlix and I do highly recommend it.

<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Van Zandt launched the foundation in 2007 after he pushed various politicians to support music history inclusion in academics. He wasn't able to get anywhere with the politicians (shock), so he began the institution. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The first incentive of the foundation is <i>Rock and Roll High School</i>, a chronological anthology tracing the history of Rock and Roll from its roots to present day, highlighting the cultural impact and significance of each era of the genre as it relates to the events and changes that took place in the history of the country and of the world. The program, endorsed by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholastic_Corporation" title="Scholastic Corporation">Scholastic</a> and by MENC: The National Association For Music Education has brought to fruition an entire rock and roll curriculum appropriate for middle and high schools.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>The curriculum is free and is called "Rock and Roll: An American Story", and materials are located at www.teachrock.org.</b></span><br />

The website offers new lesson plans and teaching resources on a monthly basis. </span><span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Created to address the challenges of an environment in which schools face cuts to arts funding, TeachRock includes interdisciplinary, arts-driven materials designed to keep students engaged and in school. </span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Along with his parents, Cameron received a paid trip to New York City to attend the Scholastic Books/Rock and Roll Forever Foundation event.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was SO funny...here’s where you join the story, Lanea...we get seated in the auditorium. We’re up in the back with the suits and somebodys that are all talking about the board meeting after this, and they’ll get more into it then and yadda yadda yadda. We’re in our reserved seats – and Andrea’d already asked during the emails from home who the celebrities would be, and it was “oh, we can’t say, plans still being finalized blah blah blah” – so we’re sitting there with our handler who tells us that Colleen will meet us again after, that she’s “with the talent right now” So Andrea asks her in her whisper voice, “can you tell me who the talent is” and handler whispers back “shhhh...Dave Grohl” and not-so-whispery Andrea says, “NO WAY!” “Shhhhh..shhh...shhhh...yeah, he walked by us earlier when were upstairs on the couch, but I didn’t want to interrupt him by pointing him out.” That’s when Andrea texts Lanea “Dave Grohl” “If you’re making that up...” HAHA!! But yup...Dave Grohl. </span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then it was Walnut Ridge all over again. Our handler got tickled at us. The moderator dude says, “Before we start, who here has heard of the Beatles” and quite a few hands go up (including ours). “How many people know some Beatles songs?” Far fewer hands go up (including, of course, ours) – Cameron sitting there knowing ALL the Beatles songs and dressed in John Lennon army shirt, his Greek fisherman’s hat, and the Lennon NYC shirt he got in Chicago. “How many of you consider yourselves full fledged Beatlemaniacs?” And it’s a few of the old folks in the back row – and us raising our hands again. Later on it’s “How many of you know what a vinyl record is?” Our hands. “How many of you actually own and listen to vinyl?” Our hands. It was like, “dudes, y’all aren’t going to answer a Beatles question that won’t apply to us...we know it all! Lanea’s tried this question bit with Cameron already!” HAHA!! But the webinar was great. They talked about liner notes, and really getting into an album, not just a ipod download of a song you like.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Dave was awesome...simply awesome. Dave shook his hand, and that boy went slack-jawed and just “uhhhhhh”. Dave had told the story about HIS introduction to the Beatles. That his mom was a public school teacher and brought home a school record player with the hinged lid and one speaker “smelled like dust” and that they had gone and gotten a Beatles record to play on it. He said he was 6 or 7 and he was hooked. They had an old guitar, and he grabbed it and tried his best to play it the way he thought they were playing it. Then they bought him a real guitar and a Beatles chord book and he was hooked, and the rest was history. So while Cameron is frozen in awe, I told him that his story was Identical to Cameron’s story. and He said, “Well, yeah, that’s what we do as parents, right? Shove all that music on them to make sure they hear the good stuff! HAHA!” Then I added, “yeah, and then you stick him in various restaurants with a tip bucket to earn money!” and he looked at Cameron and said, “Really, are you serious?! And you’re HOW old?!” 14 “Man, that is so cool!” And Andrea mentioned that he’d won a Beatles Talent contest playing Blackbird. SO he goes on to tell us about his daughter’s talent show. She’d come to him, “Daddy, I want to do Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band for the talent show with (drops 6 or 7 girls’ names)”, and he said, “I told her that it was a great idea, go call them and I’ll help you out with it...so she calls (drops the same names JUST as quickly as he originally did) and they all said, “Sgt WHO?” so now she’s all down and heartbroken, </span><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">but I told her that maybe they could do Blackbird...they could sing it because it was a really pretty song, and I’ll learn to play it on guitar. So they did and it was really cool. Then it wasn’t long after that, I get a call from the Academy Awards, and they’re wanting me to play Blackbird live at the Oscars.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">I haven't decided which thrill would be greater of all of the celebrity meet and greets. The Hicks family certainly enjoyed meeting all of the celebrities and gained even more respect for their works. For now, Little Steven's Underground Garage greets me daily in my car and Van Zandt's narratives about music and culture are exquisite (that alone is worth subscribing to Sirius), so I'll keep on rubbing elbows with celebs from behind my wheel.</span></span><br />

(Wicked Cool Minute #2)<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">"Heeeere we are......In a room full of strangers......" - The Bee Gees (Nights on Broadway)</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The hottest music performers in the 70's, The Bee Gees included, serenaded fans every Friday night. Donning bell bottoms, chest hair, sequins, crocheted halter tops, long dresses and unbleached toothy smiles. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">NBC's "The Midnight Special" was created by Burt Sugarman, a TV producer who approached the station with the idea, but was shot down. Instead of taking 'no' for an answer, Sugarman bought airtime, got Chevrolet to advertise, and he produced the instant hit without their assist. Oddly enough, the pilot aired August 19, 1972, and was intended to encourage young people to vote in the upcoming Presidential election. Whoa.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Upon the popularity of the program, NBC bought the program and aired it after Johnny Carson every Friday night.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">"The </span><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Midnight Special" was old school. It was EVERY Friday night. <b>And all you needed was a television.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So you could tune in at the same time every week, watch the hottest acts of the day, in one spot, no pricey concert ticket, no parking hassle, no expensive beer (probably $2 each back in the day)....just pure indulgence.</span><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A nostalgic masterpiece that has been forgotten and replaced with edited, lip-synced videos which fail to reveal the raw, human factor that merits recall.</span><br />

King, Heart, KISS, Prince, plus too many to name. The program also included</span><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> comedians such as Steve Martin, Richard Pryor and Billy Crystal and Helen Reddy and Wolfman Jack frequently as guest hosts.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I became hooked on "The Midnight Special" and insisted on watching each week. Now...I had no business being up that late, mind you, but I managed talking my parents into letting me stay up to drool over the musicians.</span><br />

The always gracious Ian replied "I always loved doing 'The Midnight Special.' They'd put together the most unlikely pairings to host - myself and The Babys, for instance - so much more interesting that the 'traditional' choices. The staff were A-1, you got to hang with new friends, play to a great audience, and all in all it was a wonderfully organic experience. I wish we had a show like this today."</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It's in the iTunes drops, downloads and internet live sessions, among thousands of other avenues. Enjoying a performance is not quite the same because, firstly, you have to have the technology - which is harder than you think. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Secondly, you gotta know it's happening - (See point 1.) I realize that it can be argued that pure performances can be captured much more efficiently with today's technology, and I do respect that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Music lovers today are robbed of the anticipation of a weekly performance of today's hottest musicians such was "The Midnight Special."</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You can't replace the feeling of comfort from </span><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">a Friday night sleepover with friends and family, Mt. Dew, Totino's pizzas and a private concert on "The Midnight Special." </span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">Go America!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">For decades I have thought the song "American Woman," by The Guess Who, was an America-inspired protest song. Of course, I derived that information from what I thought were well-informed disc jockeys and music rags.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">So the story I always heard was that the Canadian band wrote this song to protest America: "I don't need your war machines; I don't need your ghetto scenes."</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvzAfXtCZyhiKwrBbMxRqaZs_tw5DOVSysNZZJp5uP02LyBtSf8BhNz8RZ5PwlM3TwdV4aAvg_auTSZXbjYNHyJ-HhGiiFuZVEM8b0sN3sRqtgzeU5-TrBpjhjvTpQOnfBA0ZzX-p8Qk/s1600/guess+who.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvzAfXtCZyhiKwrBbMxRqaZs_tw5DOVSysNZZJp5uP02LyBtSf8BhNz8RZ5PwlM3TwdV4aAvg_auTSZXbjYNHyJ-HhGiiFuZVEM8b0sN3sRqtgzeU5-TrBpjhjvTpQOnfBA0ZzX-p8Qk/s1600/guess+who.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">The ongoing 2016 circus (presidential) election drove me to investigate the significance of the song and the history of the lyrics.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">I reached out to Neil Ratner Rock Doc (find him on Facebook) who was a musician and close friend of many musicians in the late 60's and 70's.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Rock Doc told me that "American Woman" is </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">"a very misunderstood song and not patriotic at all." The song was co-written by Burton Cummings who says, "What was on my mind was that girls in the States seemed to get older quicker than our girls and that made them, well, dangerous. When I said 'American woman, stay away from me,' I really meant 'Canadian woman, I prefer you.'"</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">So there you have it...the Canadian boys preferred the Canadian girls. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">Naturally there are two sides to every story and perhaps there is one here, but the song now sounds differently to me.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">Check out the version by The Guess Who:</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I had the pleasure of speaking with Will Champlin on the phone yesterday and I asked him about his career, what influenced him, and what it was like to be on Adam Levine's team, among other things. The talent who graced the stage of NBC's "The Voice," is using his gifts to generate popular music that is entertaining millions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Champlin told me that the crowd can expect to hear original music from his latest album "Borrowing Trouble," along with his crowd-pleasing covers, which have included "Demons" by Imagine Dragons (my personal fave.)</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It was an interesting surprise to learn that Champlin's father, Bill, was a member of the highly respected band <i>Chicago</i>, and it was not too shocking to hear that <i>Chicago</i> was a huge influence, along with other bands such as <i>Steely Dan</i> and <i>Fleetwood Mac</i>. He appreciates all current popular music and listens to a lot of cutting edge, obscure music from Ireland and England. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When I asked the highly recognized musician about his experience on "The Voice," he shared that the experience went fast and furious and "it changes everything." When asked about Adam Levine, the accomplished musician who is the lead for band <i>Maroon 5</i> and a coach on the NBC reality talent show, he told me that Levine is "a great guy. He's a great guitar player, too, not just solo lead vocalist. A lot of people don't realize what an outstanding guitarist he is."</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston, residing and performing in Nashville, competing on "The Voice," and recording his own music is rewarding, but it's been a lot of work. "Musicians and creators tend to forget to enjoy it. Musical nutrients are needed to nurture your creative side." </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Champlin told me in all sincerity he is "looking forward to coming to Indiana and performing for Evansville." I assured him that Evansville will love him and treat him with the utmost hospitality. </span><br />

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Evansville based band Factor Primo performs urban music which is a blend of funk, contemporary R&B, jazz and soul music. The band's diverse influences are evident in the dynamic music they create and the artists they cover.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Owners, Tracy and Joe Klemczewski, have done a marvelous job of bringing this hip store to downtown Evansville and I hope you will check it out soon. I love their pure aspirations to help downtown Evansville grow and thrive along with catering to customers. Their spirit of contribution is notable, as a portion of all sales benefit parallel local charities through their "Imagine Project." The benefactors include Soldier Dogs for Independence, Aurora, The Arc, Peace Zone, and LaCola Village.</span><br />

McKannan is responsible for many </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">smiles that are prompted by her confident ivories and crooning that assures them "life is gonna be so sweet ... on the sunny side of the street...." Residents who are hanging by a moment, allow the unflappable tunes to lure them back to another day. McKannan smiles, waves and belts "Zippity Doo Dah," while a darling lady rocks her baby doll in the wheelchair next to me, and perks up when Dianne Berry joins McKannan, belting out</span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> Barbra Streisand's "Second Hand Rose." Enjoying the show (and reactions), I clapped along with McKannan's rendition of "Daydream Believer" and more.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It's been two and a half years since my mom was admitted to a nursing home. The home is a seven mile drive for me, but some days it feels like a 700 mile drive. It takes all of my energy to just </span><i style="color: #741b47; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>go</b></i><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">. I am continuously in awe of the angels that I happen upon at the nursing home. The couple from a local church who take communion to my mother, the gifts she receives from school children, the beautiful vocalists that sometimes are heard throughout the hallways. Every little bit of goodness that goes into the walls of that nursing home does not go unnoticed. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It was a great honor to enjoy Terese's performance yesterday and I wanted to share a blog previously written by M. Dianne Berry (see below). I hope you are able to see her show, too!</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This life is full of marathons. We are running to school, work, exercise, shop, crafts and numerous activities. I hope our society is planning for the days ahead of us. Planning how we are going to give back to a generation who is assigned to live final days (months, years) where we will need a loving hand to make us feel alive again.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I recently heard from Angie McCartney (Paul's stepmum and also the entrepreneur responsible for Mrs. McCartneys Teas and Wine): </span><a href="https://mrsmccartneysteas.com/" style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">https://mrsmccartneysteas.com/</a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Angie told me this:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>"We attended a great event last Saturday called Music Mends Minds. It is a charity aimed for people suffering from Parkinsons, Alzheimers, and other neurological related diseases. The band of pro musicians who play at these events call themselves The Fifth Dementia. They are all solo musicians, studio musicians, composers, etc. Our friend and client, Steve Tyrell, sang a few jazz standards; the audience was made up of a cross-section of people, many sufferers and their caregivers, and many, like ourselves who just wanted to be supportive. There was a fabulous selection of music and stories, and everyone sang along. I was so moved by it all, and seeing the power of music in real time brought tears to my eyes. It was at The Brentwood Presbyterian Church, where they hold regular gatherings. It seems that in so many cases, although people are losing their cognitive skills, music brings them right back into focus and they can remember all the words of the songs. Amazing, isn’t it? Evidently music is the first thing to become active, and the last thing to go. Thank God for music."</i></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Terese Grotius McKannan, long-time veteran musician and singer has it better than some these days when it comes to landing music jobs. At a time when there is so much hype on competition, television contests, getting a record deal, or even regularly working in one's hometown, she is in high demand within the senior communities.</span><br />

Terese and the other five Grotius siblings rehearsed with their mother's instrumental backup, tight harmonies, and snappy delivery which also launched their professional music careers.<br />Terese began her own career in high school and gradually expanded her repertoire till she was booked in popular piano bars. With her lively presentation and remarkable ability to engage audiences with familiar TV show themes and commercials, she kept the night clubbers awake as they asked for more. Before long, she was working the plush hotels, piano bars, clubs, and restaurants, both locally and across the states while moonlighting. Though between the traveling gigs she took a few brief jobs in the mainstream work force, she always came back to playing music.<br /> Now getting older has its perks as there will always be the elders whose needs include more than good health care. They need to be entertained, wooed by the sounds of their time, emotionally taking them away from the mundane and melancholy. Terese decided to give back to our parents' generation by dedicating a 45 minute program to a few nursing facilities. They loved her! With her letters of introduction to many more senior venues, some photographs and some resume of her musical career, calls began to roll in. It wasn't long before she nearly had more than she could handle. But she was happy. Happy because she was doing something she always knew and loved and could do it full time while care-giving her own mother.<br /> She delivers a punchy medley of national and state anthems. Among them are:<br />"God Bless America," "Back Home Again In Indiana," "California Here I Come," "Georgia," and many others. She also performs show tunes like "Cabaret," "Hello Dolly," and "Moulin Rouge." The best of the Beatles also roused the memories of those who raised their own children of the 60's making it easy to smile, cry, and sing along. The icing on the cake is the love and endearment she has with the residents who attend her programs.<br /> "I become very close to many of these wonderful people, Terese reports . "I've spoken with some notables as well. Like Bettie Engelbrecht, whose dance team performed with Debbie Reynolds in the movie, "Singing In The Rain." Marilyn Durham, and author of "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing." <br /> Terese was honored. She tears up when telling about her chat with holocaust survivor Veronika Federowska Samila who jumped off a train while in transit toward Auschwitz to escape her eventual brief encampment. (Compassionate as well, Terese makes a point to see their extended families whenever a resident passes away.)<br /> She lives in Evansville and and serves nearly all local facilities, and more frequently at Newburgh Healthcare, The Heritage, The Protestant Home, and others.<br /> If you want to hear a few sound clips, I'm afraid she's old fashioned, doesn't mess with the computer and needs me to speak on her behalf since she's my sister! Terese would like to invite anyone to come to one of her events. To request a list of upcoming gigs, you can email me directly: czeal@hotmail.com Subject: (RantingsFromRiverBayBlog)</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, is a small town that celebrates the Beatles event that occurred there in 1964 and it is a true celebration. The event is FREE, the parking is FREE and the memories are priceless. This event is near and dear to my heart, not just because it's about The Beatles, but because of the genuine intent of the citizens to conduct a festival that benefits the entire community. Through the hard work and vision of its mayor, Charles Snapp, this Beatles festival has received critical acclaim around the world, notably, it was named by USA Today as one of the best Beatles places to visit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My descriptions of the festival would result in a Mark Lewisohn-type tome, so instead of filling the page with words, I'd like to share the Artists & Authors Symposium schedule and show you what you are in for this weekend! You can also hear Mayor Snapp and his sister, Carrie Mae, on an episode of Recipe Records Radio Show - link is below. Hope to see you at The Ridge!</span><br />

<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In the land of the great red sun, wolf-shifters reign—able to wield magic and shift form at will while privileged wolves serve them. Dogs rove through the woods in packs speaking, singing, and scavenging—afraid to befriend the humans who live repressed. As the lowest of all four races, the humans work at mines, fashion metals, and send over half their gains to the wolf-shifting king.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is the first book for both of
us. We drew a lot of inspiration from our families and our love of reading. A
lot of people ask how it works with two writers. I don’t know how it works for
other people, but this is what we did for this book. Jake came to me with an
idea he’d had and asked if I was interested in developing it with him. I
thought it was a great idea and was loving all the fantasy books my son was
bringing home. For the first draft, Jake and I would get together once a week
or so to develop the story and hammer out ideas, then I would go home to write
a chapter or chapters for what we’d talked about that. Then of course came the
editing and the selling of the book. That took a while. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We actually sold the book to our
publisher by entering a contest hosted by Ink Smith Publishing. And then we
won! It was a fun and surreal experience. I actually entered the contest on
second-to-last possible day (on Halloween actually). And then I kind of forgot
I’d entered it, because winning a contest seemed like such a long shot. Then
that December I was working on the next book we were doing and out of the blue
I thought, “Hey, that contest should have the results out by now.” I hadn’t
received an email or anything, so I just went to the website to see who had
won. I scrolled down from third place to second to first. And there we were. It
seemed unreal. I was like, “Why haven’t I gotten an email about this?” So I
hopped over to my email and there was a message from them—I’d received it in
the last two hours. The whole thing was just crazy. And fun. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The idea for this book was Jake’s. His wife had a dream about his daughter’s teacher becoming a werewolf and saving his daughter (so… a dream about a good werewolf). From this, Jake got the idea to write a book about wolves, dogs, werewolves, and a girl. It was a piece of magical realism (monster style)—a regular girl living a normal life in a small town—until strange things start to happen and she begins to realize that there are werewolves in her town. But that story had tons of back story about a different world where werewolves reigned—some good, some bad. When Jake sent me a few of his ideas, I couldn’t help but feel that the back story could also be its own book. That’s how <i>Grey Stone</i> was born (and, yes, you should stay tuned because we are working on the companion book—the one about the girl—right now).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Writers tend to be great communicators. Interestingly though, they tend to communicate better on paper (or computer screen) than they do vocally. At least I fall into that category. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Members of the Evansville Local Authors group approached me about creating a narrative to comment about the current violent acts that are being committed in our country and around the world. I offered to share pieces written by members of our group and I invite you to read and reflect on their offerings. These words will surely give you much to reflect upon. </span><br />

<span style="color: #0e0e0e;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the bloodiest war in our
nation’s history, emancipation brought no relief to its black population.
According to Douglas A. Blackmon, Pulitzer Prize winning author of <i>Slavery By
Another Name; The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World
War II</i>, contends that in many ways the decades from emancipation to World War
II were far more difficult for black Americans than during the two and a half centuries
of their slavery. Blackmon notes that, “in Alabama alone, hundreds of thousands
of pages of public documents attest to the arrests, subsequent sale, and
delivery of thousands of African Americans into mines, lumber camps, quarries,
farms and factories.” He also mentions that over thirty thousand such documents
are in the files of the Department of Justice at the National Archives. African
Americans were sentenced to forced labor by our own judicial system, with no
merit to the accusations that put them there. Their forced labor was enforced
by their local police forces. Unwarranted bigotry, prejudice and hatred have
been thrust upon African American people since their first arrival in the U.S.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Black people of America have
always been treated as having no personal worth or dignity. Diane Nash of the
Freedom Writers of the 1960’s said in a P.B.S. interview, “Travel in the
segregated South, (during the Freedom Ride) for black people was humiliating.
The very fact that there were separate facilities was to say to black people
and white people that blacks were so subhuman and so inferior that we could not
even use the public facilities that white people used.”</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The police brutality of today
serves only to reiterate the attitude held by this nation’s judicial and law
enforcement systems, dating all the way back to emancipation. Black people
always have been and still are, often treated as sub-human.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It may be the technological shift
that has made us aware of what has possibly been happening all-along. With the
use of cell phones, dash-cams, or body-cams, the public can view the use of
deadly force by police against unarmed black men. In the past we have not had
this benefit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #0e0e0e;">One of the most horrendous, brutal
and obvious cases of the murder of an unarmed black man by a police officer was
in Chicago on November 24</span><sup style="color: #0e0e0e;">th</sup><span style="color: #0e0e0e;"> in 2015, when officer Jason VanDyke shot
17 year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times; even as McDonald lay on the ground.
Laquan McDonald had a pocketknife in his hand as he turned away from the
officer and walked away. Obviously, Lanquan was no threat to VanDyke. Other
officers were in close proximity and could have helped if McDonald were to make
any kind of threatening move. The situation was obviously controllable without
deadly force. But as Laquan McDonald turned away, VanDyke stepped out of his patrol
car and emptied the contents of ammunition from his weapon into Laquan
McDonald. The next day on the P.B.S. News Hour, commentator Judy Woodruff
commented, “Why would a police officer shoot an unarmed man sixteen times?”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In a recent study The Washington
Post found that, “Although black men make-up 6 percent of the U.S. population,
they account for 40 percent of the unarmed black men shot to death by police
this year.”</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It seems a complete irony that our
nation is faced with such police brutality against unarmed black people during
the administration of our nation’s first black President. John Kennedy and
Robert Kennedy stood strong with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in all of the racial
turmoil of the 60’s. President Kennedy had begun writing what would become The
Bill of Rights, which President Lyndon Johnson worked fiercely to finish and get
passed in 1964.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is deeply commendable that
President Obama and former President George W. Bush eulogized the five police
officers recently gunned down in Dallas, Texas by an African-American gunman.
But for only a few of the unarmed African-American men gunned down by police, President
Obama has only placed a phone call to the families of some of the black male
victims of police brutality. He gave much less honor and respect to the
innocent black victims of police brutality than he gave to the innocent police
officers that were gunned down. Should they all not have received the same recognition
of dignity and respect from the president?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #0e0e0e;">History has brought to us a great
divide between the races and nationalities of people living on our planet.</span><span style="color: #0e0e0e;"> </span><span style="color: #0e0e0e;">As average citizens we cannot do much to
heal the open sores of distrust, prejudice and hatred throughout the world.
<b><i>But each of us can do something</i></b>. We can show more kindness to others. Just a
smile to a stranger in a public place can go a long way to restore trust. Beginning
a conversation with someone we don’t know, especially of a different race, or
nationality than ourselves can quickly break down barriers that stood through
years, even centuries. The police officer can take more time to get to know the
people of his community beat. The people of each community can show gestures of
kindness to police officers. Love respect and appreciation can move the
mountains of bigotry, distrust and anger.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">People on this planet are like a
package that holds inside them a beautiful gift. As long as we harbor distrust,
prejudice, or anger to another person we completely pass over the chance to
receive the gift that person has to offer. But by making the effort to show respect
and love for others we open that package and receive their gift that can be
ours for a lifetime. In doing this we share with them the beautiful gift that
is inside ourselves. We are all gifts to each other; gifts to be shared.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hi, my name is Terri, and I write under the name T. I. Dunsterville. My first published book is <b><i>Warlocks of Evergreen</i></b>, a science fiction novel with a touch of fantasy and romance. I started reading my Dad’s science fiction books in my early teens while traveling with my family as an Air Force “brat”. While living in different countries I learned to appreciate my own country while gaining a world view of humanity and the earth, which I believe, has affected my novel and the series <b>(The Evergreen Journals)</b> it is part of. Although reading all forms of genre from an early age; science fiction, with its endless possibilities, remains a favorite and this is what I choose to write.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPrnHJ3_lc-jITZm5vUg_SbkvdQz3PnKEjGK7_Fi2ltO2E9GWBmUSiBaeCIBiwHMqL0eLXtX_TRPoAcD1h7dVV1ot6ZBougbgP76eLuIgTzFlOW63qN3HjvetPh4pEoiYH8fOayaHODI8/s1600/51ciWmuloAL._SX332_BO1%252C204%252C203%252C200_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPrnHJ3_lc-jITZm5vUg_SbkvdQz3PnKEjGK7_Fi2ltO2E9GWBmUSiBaeCIBiwHMqL0eLXtX_TRPoAcD1h7dVV1ot6ZBougbgP76eLuIgTzFlOW63qN3HjvetPh4pEoiYH8fOayaHODI8/s320/51ciWmuloAL._SX332_BO1%252C204%252C203%252C200_.jpg" width="212" /></a><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #274e13;">I have a file cabinet (old school!) and computer filled with the bits and pieces of writing; poetry, notes and rough drafts; accumulated down through the years and only now, after family, college and work, being put to use. The scope has grown, from the planet Evergreen to include other planets and species in a universe called the CIAM (Central Information Assessment Module) universe. I have a lot of work ahead of me, and I hope I have the time and energy to accomplish it!</span><br /><span style="color: #274e13;">I chose </span><b style="color: #274e13;"><i>Warlocks of Evergreen</i></b><span style="color: #274e13;"> to finish first because it continued to grow (in my head and in notes and drafts) into something beyond one or two books! The series follows individuals on Evergreen as the sentient planet is preparing to connect with the human inhabited universe. Before Evergreen can move forward however, in </span><b style="color: #274e13;"><i>Warlocks of Evergreen</i></b><span style="color: #274e13;"> it must deal with a portion of the human population that is going to war and killing the indigenous species and half breeds. The reader travels with a human and sea sprite half breed, Dasimbe Halcon, who is developing her paranormal talents. She is aided by Daniel Scott, a warlock, half breed human and air fairy with extraordinary mental talents; and his marsh folk foster family. Her sister, Cierva’s story is also briefly told. Separation of family, discovery of self, new friendships, love, war and a strange bonding with the planet await them in </span><i style="color: #274e13;"><b>Warlocks of Evergreen</b></i><span style="color: #274e13;">.</span><br /><br /><b style="color: #274e13;"><i>I’m working on book club questions. Subject to change!!</i></b><br /><span style="color: #274e13;">The book introduces the concepts of prejudice and genocide. What circumstances cause these to occur in the book and in reality?</span><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">The sisters struggle with their human identity but remember their father’s strengths and attributes. In the larger picture, what traits weigh in humanity’s favor? (Emphasized in the next book!)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #274e13;">Daniel questions Evergreen’s intent as its direction increases but trusts the results. The question arises for the reader, is this type of intervention a good thing, bad, or something in between?</span></span><br />

She's engaged to the love of her life, Blake Morgan, and more importantly, she hasn't even given a thought to dead bodies or murder investigations for an entire year. The only hurdle in Lizzie and Blake's way to wedded bliss is introducing their polar opposite families to each other at their engagement party.<br />Blake's parents have thrown a lavish shindig, but the fun is quickly over when Blake's brother arrives with an unexpected guest, the woman who left Blake at the altar years ago. If that weren't enough drama for one evening, Lizzie and Blake find the town mayor dead and the detectives on the case put Blake at the top of their suspect list.<br />It's a race against the clock for Lizzie and Blake to find the real killer before the police decide to lock Blake up and throw away the key.</span></div>

But there’s always more to be done—such as prepping for the annual Holiday 5K Race organized by Pete’s snobby socialite girlfriend, Cecilia Hollingsworth. This year, Java Jive has a booth right at the finish line, and since Juliet and Cecilia don’t always see eye to eye, everything has to be perfect. Nothing can go wrong. Nothing . . . like Juliet stumbling over Cecilia’s dead body on the morning of the race.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">When Pete is arrested for Cecilia’s murder, Juliet sets out to clear his name. She’ll do whatever it takes—even if it means standing up to the police, her ex-boyfriend, and the grande dames of Nashville. But there isn’t enough espresso in the world for the greatest challenge in her path: infiltrating Nashville’s high society to uncover the hidden hotbed of scandal without running afoul of the law herself. With her last dime staked on Pete’s bail bond and her staff growing jittery, the last thing Juliet needs is for her trademark temper to land her behind bars. As time drips away, Juliet needs to crack this case before the killer comes back for another shot.</span><br />

Yep...the day after the most devastating flood WV has seen in 100 years. The trip had some National Lampoon moments, like when the GPS took us to Tornado, West Va instead of Fayetteville, the dog peed on the only real bed, the only hot tub in our "camp" was full of dirt and leaves (no water) and our neighbors got into a fight, leaving one "gentleman" to "go get his gun." The rafting was postponed but eventually several in our group braved the raging river ride and lived to tell about it. Keep the folks in West Virginia in your prayers. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Episode #4 of my radio show series is going to be out of this world.... Paranormal author and investigator, Rick Kueber, will be chatting tomorrow about his career in very mystical worlds. Please read about Rick in his bio below and tune in at 9:30 a.m. CST, Saturday, June 18.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I've enjoyed reading his first book <i style="font-weight: bold;">Forever Ash-The Witch Child of Helmach Creek, </i>which is based on true events stemming from a paranormal investigation. One particular excerpt from the book I found engaging: <span style="color: red;">"You see, that's the problem with all things paranormal, you never really know for sure about anything. It isn't an exact science yet, and even when you seem to have the answers, you never really know. In a way it reflects real life in that so often when we think we know, or have the answer to something in our life, we find out things aren't what they seem."</span></span><br />
