Where’d the Music Go???

 

Miniature Christmas Ornaments are shipping now.

You may have noticed that the music is notably absent today. There’s a couple of reasons for that.

The first is, I reached this month’s limit on my pro account in Hedra. I’m not sure what that means just yet, but tonight I’m not doing music. I’ve increased the amount they can charge me, but it’s quite a financial hit to me. Well, I’ll discuss this issue at our morning meeting. Continue reading

UFOs in the Air

Karamazov Brothers lead our juggling workshop, 1980.

On a long enough timeline, every empire, every masterpiece, and every legacy eventually becomes dust, forgotten or transformed into something else. Yet, here we are, waking up every day, striving, building, creating, and loving. It’s like we’re programmed to care, even when the ultimate futility is staring us right in the face. Continue reading

Testing — One, Two, Three

Here it is Thursday morning — that’s Thor’s Day morning in the old talk, and I’m working away — some would say “hacking away” at my songs and their animations, meaning the singing heads with which I’m pairing the songs.

Well, anyway, there we were, putting songs and performers together, and it suddenly occurred to me that I’m back on the job I had when I was 24 years old, working in the A&R departments of RCA, Columbia Records, Decca Records and a few smaller companies.

What is A&R, you ask, and I’m glad you asked that question. It means “Artists and Repertoire”, meaning put the songs together with the hit-makers, meaning the video talent that’s putting the song on the charts. Continue reading

Free Will, Anyone???

As we continue exploring the deeper nature of existence, I’d like to share a perspective that’s both challenging and deeply illuminating. Imagine a lifetime as a four-dimensional “worm,” a unique path permanently embedded in the fabric of the universe. This trajectory—stretching from birth to death—exists above the ordinary flow of time, etched into the timeless structure of reality. Continue reading

Burger Day Here

Mill Street Gallery during the Christmas Rush.

Hello, dear friends and community,

I need your help to make something truly special happen. As many of you know, I’ve been making super-efforts in the way of creating original song videos on YouTube.

You may not think it’s important, but each “like”, “view”, and subscription isn’t just  numbers — it’s a way to spread the creative work we’re all connected to, a shared mission to reach new audiences and inspire more people.

Here’s how you can help:

  1. Watch a video—even just a few minutes of your time makes a difference.
  2. Like it—your thumbs-up shows support and helps YouTube recommend it to others.
  3. Subscribe—if you haven’t already, subscribing boosts the channel’s reach and shows you’re part of this creative journey.

And if you’re already supporting, THANK YOU! But there’s always more we can do together. Here’s what’s exciting:

  • I’m working on exclusive content just for you—behind-the-scenes stories, early previews and more!
  • Let’s make it fun! Can we hit 1 million views on one video? I’d love to celebrate with all of you, once one of us hits it — and it could be YOU!

Finally, I want you to know how much your feedback and support mean to me. Every view, every like, every subscription isn’t just a click — it’s a connection. If there’s a song that resonates with you or sparks something special, please share your thoughts. Your input makes this a true collaboration, and every bit of feedback helps!

Together, we can make my youtube channel more than just a channel — it can be a movement, a shared creative adventure. Let’s make it happen!

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

No, not HAMburger Tuesday, BURGER Tuesday. The burgers are a mix of various non-meat things that create what you would swear is the tastiest burger you ever had. Continue reading

Muchado

Ordinary civilians near Times Square, visible only with special sunglasses.

Muchado — that’s the Shakespearean way of saying “Much ado about nothing”, which is what the general atmosphere in Washington lately.

It doesn’t matter. World events are crowding in, and the space is getting smaller every day. Meanwhile, please accept these offerings from my creative table: Continue reading

Sunday Speedway!

I’m making talking head type music videos with the pieces I already had up with just the Suno lyrics, which often got stuck — replacing them with the Hedra talking / singing heads, as I mentioned. There are hundreds of them, and I’m working at the rate of five videos in each 8-hour work session, per day. At this rate, it will be several months at least, but it’s worth it — they look and play so much better, and they get more views, at least a few more views. Continue reading
