In another World. Brian May. --We CAN make a difference!

An amazing young man asked me if I knew this song. I most certainly did, though it wasn't one that I had ever thought of working with. This was a tough one.
Tracy Chapman's unmistakeable voice and incredible   more...lyrics take us on a somewhat familiar journey -- the struggle to break away from a way of life that often is repeated, generation after generaton. This character's hope never fades, and I like to think that there is a happy ending.
Fast Car – Tracy Chapman
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
Live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way  less

Dream...



Dream what you want to dream;
Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life
And one chance to do all the things
You want to do.




May   more...you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human and
Enough hope to make you happy.




The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.




The brightest future will always
Be based on a forgotten past;
You can't go forward in life until
You let go of your past failures and heartaches.




When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling
Live your life so at the end
You're the one who is smiling and everyone
Around you is crying.

I won't allow ANYONE to seperate me, my life, my sense of my world from that which I dream about. For some people, dreams are all they have to hold on to. For others, if you take dreams out of their life, they will have no life. I can talk on this all day...but bottom line; you have every right to dream. Dream for a better tommorrow, a better understanding of what you do not yet understand and a better you. I thank God for letting me fly as high as I want to fly....I am thankful to "DREAM!"  less

Tracy is one of my best friends ever. She has been a part of my family and has been there for everything including: wedding (to Lynn), baby dedication (Missy), both my Mom's and my sister's home going   more...(going home). After almost two decades of her being a sister~like one to me...I had just found out that she has studied dance in her doings. This video is the result of me recycling one of my old originals and fusing it with Tracy's dance interpretation. It is entitled, "Tracy's Hope because Tracy is such an invisionary; she is doing so much in the way of working with young people. Needless to say, Tracy will be working with me in future productions (particularly on my original producions while Missy will be assinged to any and all cover tunes). It is wonderful to work with a great friend and adopted sister such as Tracy.

This is a statement from her website followed by a snipet of her bio. The information to her site is contained in the side bar as well.

"My passion is to bring awareness to basic living principles that bring enrichment to life and are often overlooked. It is my hope that all of us have the option to live a qualitative lifestyle with enjoyment, fullness and an appreciation for life!" Tracy Boyd

(look in the descriptions below for Pt.2/2)One of the most important films of the last 25 years
Artist Brian Springer spent a year scouring the airwaves with a satellite dish grabbing back channel news   more...feeds not intended for public consumption. The result of his research is SPIN, one of the most insightful films ever made about the mechanics of how television is used as a tool of social control to distort and limit the American public's perception of reality.
Take the time to watch it from beginning to end and you'll never look at TV reporting the same again. Tell your friends about it. This extraordinary film released in the early 1990s is almost completely unknown. Hopefully, the Internet will change that.

Every time I feel a little depressed, anxious or stressed by all those little and big problems that every day brings me, I need to escape to my wonderful world of no "worries" so this is my   more...latest video "Dancing with Faeries" a tribute to one of my favorite Artist "Brian Froud" I hope you enjoy it! In 1978 Brian Froud and Alan Lee put together an ensemble of drawings and paintings in which the world adored: FAERIES was a great success, hitting the number four spot on the New York Times Best Seller List. Brian Froud's artistic techniques and wisdom of folklore caught the eyes of many, including Jim Henson (creator of the Muppets). In 1978 Jim Henson hired Froud to help create a unique otherworld, better known as THE WORLD OF THE DARK CRYSTAL. The film "The Dark Crystal" was a monumental collaberation of ideas, techniques, and creativity. On the set of "The Dark Crystal"- released in 1982, Brian Froud met Wendy Midener, a puppet designer (creator of the "Gelflings" and Star Wars' "Yoda"). Their son Toby starred in the Henson film, "Labyrinth"- 1986, in which Brian Froud was once again hired as the Conceptual Designer. Froud continued working with Henson on television programs such as "Jim Henson's Storyteller," as well as working on designs for other film/media projects.  less
