Ephemerally Eternal. I used to call myself Streptocephalus, after the fairy shrimp, because I admire their tenacity at surviving in temporary habitats (but UA-cam got all high falootin' and made me consolidate accounts and change it to my human name).

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
Переглядів 6533 місяці тому
I was thinking that the rise in our armadillo population was directly related to the decline in our morel numbers, but not anymore!

Only a few, but the woods were nice to walk through. There are plenty of morel hunting videos and resources to help you find them, but I really like the following: ua-cam.com/video/IHmpgUIYZnk/v-deo.html learnyourland.com/ www.thegreatmorel.com/morel-sightings/

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...

Bob Roy and the Christmas Cookie - 2016 Version
Переглядів 397 місяців тому
This puppet show began in the mid 1980's and will continue to be performed every year for local students as long as they request it and I can physically do it. Usually the students perform the entire show! (Hopefully the musical part of the soundtrack is not scrubbed by UA-cam)
Seeking Shelter
Переглядів 108 місяців тому
I go about my day to day and press the beauty to outweigh the traumas of the world, but it's getting harder and harder to do.  Do I shirk my human responsibilities by focusing on the positives of the present piece of Earth instead of the horrors of the whole?
A Temporary Existence

Our life on Earth is temporary, at least from our human perspective of time in space. This is a personal and momentary reflection on the Life who created my own temporary existence.
For the Day of (No) Silence

 A rambling support of the LGBTQ community, and especially for the students who would like to participate in tomorrow's "Day of Silence" but may be prohibited from doing so by their school or school system.

Hahahahaheeeee! I knew this young feller! His wit remains constant! Wow! Also, the "apple doesn't fall far from the tree, since this could easily be mistaken as one of your sons!!! Enjoy. Love
Thanks Doug! Good to hear from you man!
...Chew well.
This is prime internet right here.
Excellent edit/filming job considering no such software existed. Love this. Brings back memories. Nice work.
Thanks. The original VHS was all shot to tape in series directly in the camera but this version was edited with iMovie to shorten it and speed it up a bit. You can see the original version by scrolling down the videos for a bit. It's about six minutes long.
😂😂😂😂
It's a field sobriety test now. Lol
I loved this show when I was a kid.. It was kinda goofy fun,.
"Kinda goofy" is right!!
magnificent, Mike. thanks for putting this on youtube.. lucy
❤😊
Turkey will definitely eat them. I had one of the best hauls this spring that I have had in a long while. Must have gathered over 75. I gave many away to neighbors and such, but ate my share..... 🤠
อยากไปเก็บเห็ดด้วยจัง❤ชอบมากเลย
Deer do...
Dog is trained to help find Morrells!!
I wish!
Our morel production is based on the weather not how you pick or carry them out. Stop worrying and start picking them 💪😎
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.
I came across so morels in my area in the woods, I left them.
Found 27 yesterday April 1 in northern arkansas... yhey were kinda crumbley
That's about all I've found so far also.
💚 from the middle of W.V
enjoyed my watch. have not found anything so far in the Ozarks of southernn MO
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 agree. I read about their diet and they eat just about anything they find in moist soil. And even if they don't eat them they destroy the morel habitat, just like you describe. Happy (and fruitful) hunting!
Thanks wyoming here make me want to go out now❤
Good luck!!!
Hello from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Thank you for posting a very nice and informative video.
Howdy! Thank you, and I hope you find some up there in about a month.
I'd camp all the time if i were near land like that. I hope you are having a spectacular day.
Thanks - I did - and I hope you did and do too!
Thank you soooo much. I miss this show. I still have the song stuck in my head. Look at the Dandies see Mr. Banjo. ☺️☺️
Oh my goodness! Sorry about that ear worm!😉
That's actually my comfort tune in my head when I need to calm down. I hum it when I'm cranky. ☺️
Such a glorious set, Mr, Kabobble (sp?)! Be well. Love
Thanks Doug!
Whatever happened to all the set props when the show ended very curious are they still around today???
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.
Oh wow, this is so cool! I loved the sets of this show so seeing them and the mini sets like this is awesome!! I'm not sure if I noticed the floor Om before or not, very neat.
Thank you! I apologize for the lack of sound, so I redid it and uploaded it here: ua-cam.com/video/bSPs-KnXleQ/v-deo.html

😊😊
Why do I still feel like a child watching these 😊😊
HOLY SHAPES Mr.Pickins I am so sorry.. I came looking for you cause I was just thinking about you, and how her show made me so happy when I was a kid. I love you. I hope you're doing well. My condolences
Thank you! You are so kind. I had mixed feelings of combining my mom's life with the creation of that piece but there was no escaping that they were intertwined. Anyway I hope you enjoy some of the Mrs. Cabobble playlists as you revisit those crazy years😊!
My condolences to you and your family. Your presence and your art gave much joy to many people. Burning Man is a place of personal realization and valuable experiences. I hope you don't feel guilty.
Thank you. You are very kind. I don't feel guilty, but I have to admit feeling a bit unusual. I had mixed feelings about sharing this but at times I feel compelled to share the realities that initiate or influence a particular work. I am fortunate to have met so many wonderful folks (including you!) through the wandering paths of the fairy shrimp.
🥹 thank you so much for sharing this
Enjoyed listening to your fat lip confessionals 7/4/23
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.
Harmless Black Racers. Hope you left them alone.
Yep. They are welcome here. Only hassled them with a cell phone. They sun every morning and I hope they leave plenty of eggs. Thanks for looking after them.
@@streptocephalus Always!
A true classic!

P. Michael Quinn, Have you Found Episode 1 of Music Funfactory with songs?
I'm sorry but I still haven't come across it. I have looked at all of our old VHS tapes. If I ever find it i will post it though. I hope this Music Funfactory playlist helps in the meantime: ua-cam.com/play/PL6B3C24726C4A0491.html

30 minutes in the life of Ian, the son of Michael Quinn! Ha! Great historical document, if nothing else! Well, we must note your lessons in biology, religion, astronomy, and archaeology, as well as how the song about boys wanting sex is somehow associated with the church.....
Well, I'm glad you think so, especially since you can't get that viewing time back! Heck, you may have even been subjected to the VHS version!
Lesssssss gooooooo
What a wonderful gift!
Enjoy your retirement, Mr. Quinn! You were one of my most-memorable teachers, even if you were never *officially* one of my teachers. (That is a really fantastic gift!)
This was my favorite show as a kid!
Oh my goodness! I really don't know whether I should be happy for you or be worried about you ;-)
Kidding aside, I am really happy that you took the time to let me know this. I am very slowly going to replace some of these episodes with higher quality versions. I am missing at least one of my original tapes though.
@@streptocephalus As a kid I always dreamed of owning a collection of all the shows but I don’t think such a collection exists. I will certainly save all your uploads though. 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. I hope you know God loves you no matter what those people said 🙂 and thank you for spreading your own bit of love through these timeless children’s shows!
@@jordanmicahcook Thanks man! I have been able to come to terms with the Spirit: vimeo.com/19253723 I appreciate your compassion, and your singing. You have a beautiful voice by the way.
I just found out the sound is not working on this vid (thanks Ian!) Sorry about that! I hope to fix it eventually
P Michael Quinn, Can you find Episode 1 of Music Funfactory 🎶 With Songs 🎵 Pretty Please?
