Painter Bob Ross “Sings”

BobRoss

If you ever found Bob Ross while channel surfing, you were either immediately captured by him, or quickly moved on.  I doubt there was ever any question.  You liked his show or your hated it. I found him odd, but fascinating, and believe it or not, my cat, Lamont Cranston, LOVED his show.  He would sit and watch Bob paint, and follow the brushstrokes like there were something live to capture. Bob Ross (1942 – 1995) was a fixture on  [ Read More ]

If you have never seen this before, I promise you will never forget it. We’ve been having problems with videos lately.  If this fails to load, click here.

Ye May Not Recall

ticky-tacky

A song was written about a hillside of houses one would drive by on the way into San Francisco. The song was called “Little Boxes”, and you’d have to see the houses to really get the impact of it. Over the years the song has been both popular and disparaged.  And while it has not always been in favor, it has endured.

Pollak, Curly and the Loop Machine

Pollak and Curly

I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I stumbled upon this video. One thing for sure, watching this guy perform you get the feeling that with a little work you could do it too.

Not Every Great Video…

Dragon

Not every great video receives the credit it deserves. I found this one quite by accident, and was greatly moved by the short story it presents. As a writer I am moved to devise any number of off-shoots or specialized endings for this story, but I wonder what you would choose, if you were the author. What would be the next scene if you were to write it?
