Robin Williams portrays the American flag in “I Love Liberty,” a two-hour television special created by Norman Lear and presented by People For the American Way.

Elizabeth’s debut singing the national anthem on January 7, 2011 at the Norfolk Admirals game. The good news is that she did a wonderful job. The bad news is that the mic died after “gave proof.” However, the crowd picked up the song and she kept her composure and stood there singing. But nobody got to hear her amazing high note on “free.” But more good news–she was invited to come sing again!

As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods — merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes there is! Read more »

This is too cool! Thanks sis!

Well, I got tears in my eyes!  Who would have thought that KISS even knew the words or music to these songs!     No makeup and no costumes–just straight up!!    It is truly worth a few minutes of your time to watch! 
  
Don’t pass this one up! Kiss’ Military Salute.  Some people may think that Gene Simmons & the band “KISS” were strange people, but I think Gene got it right this time!

This unusual recording contains two tracks:
1. The natural sound of crickets chirping
2. The sound of the crickets slowed down to match and mirror the length of the average lifespan of a human being.

The angelic chorus you hear accompanying the sound of the crickets is NOT a synthesizer or a chorus singing. It’s the crickets themselves (slowed down) creating the effect.

This gives me shivers!  I had my sound engineer son verify. It’s for real.

I received this email today:

On  Monday, I played the Disney, Lake Buena Vista  course.  As usual the starters matched me with three other players.  After a few holes we began  to get to know each other a bit.  One fellow was rather young and had his  wife riding along in the golf cart with him.  I noticed that his golf bag had his name on it and after closer inspection, it  also said “wounded war veterans”.  When I had my first chance to chat with him I asked him about the bag.  His response was simply that it was a gift.  I then asked if he was wounded and he said yes.  When I asked more about his injury, his response was “I’d rather not talk about it, sir”.
