Sounds of an Eclipse

This is not an attempt to capture the glory of the eclipse of April 8, 2024. There is no way I could do that, but you may hear some sounds while it is going on. We were positioned near a cornfield south of Muncie Indiana. Thank you Bill and Randy Fowler.
Morels vs Armadillos

I was thinking that the rise in our armadillo population was directly related to the decline in our morel numbers, but not anymore!

The Making of Music Funfactory - December 16, 1986
Переглядів 2064 місяці тому
Behold the underlying meaning behind the wackiness of the set and puppets of Music Funfactory. Music Funfactory (first airing in 1987) was an educational series of programs made to play on television sets in classrooms of 3rd and 4th graders. The show was the brainchild of Fran Powell and she developed the songs and lessons. The set, puppets and nonsensical ad libbing was done by me. Fran creat...

      I agree about the weather, and with the rest if you are lucky enough to have an area of such dependable and productive mycelium and sclerotia that an annual harvest is usually assured. But each year is so different around here I like to add a bit of ritual, even if may have little to no effect.

    Some people say armadillos don’t eat them but I’m just about positive they do. Where I used to find most of my morels is now tore up by the armadillos. Although I haven’t personally seen one eating them the evidence is enough for a conviction in my book. Good luck out there👍🇺🇸

      I still have the puppets I made for Music Funfactory, but some of them are getting pretty ratty. They have been used for many years in performances of "Bob Roy and the Christmas Cookie ", The Music Funfactory machines ended up in different places. I took the Note Noter home as a playhouse for our kids, but I think the others were stored in the Channel 8 warehouse and eventually discarded. I recycled nonfunctional musical instruments that I got from the metro schools warehouse for some of the machines. It's amazing how much stuff is discarded by educational institutions and the entertainment industry, but I guess we can say that same thing about most of our materially consuming activities.

    When you give someone a gold star and special treatment for being LGBTQ that baits young naive minds to want that treatment too. I am not against LGBTQ people , I've had some gay friends in my life, but I think it is a slippery slope to glorify something that is often associated with mental illness and perversion. Why can't school just be about learning and preparing for life? Forcing people who are not LGBTQ to be "educated" about LGBTQ is not right. Many kids including myself when I was in highschool were very uncomfortable having to be made part of this, the unnecessary sympathy antics for LGBTQ, BLM, and just way over the top "pride" for this crap that has nothing to do with me or my life.

Thank you so much for the impact you had on me as a child in developing a love for music. I went on to get over 20 years of vocal training in opera, Broadway, Gospel, jazz, pop, soul, country, and more. I saw in the video description where you mentioned the betrayal of your evangelical church earlier in life. I have to tell you I have a similar story. I know that pain. It has taken me a long time to separate Jesus as “selfless Love” with the “God Who abandons” that those people portrayed to me.
