TimE tO pAy AttEntiOn!

Time to pay Attention everybody - the World is changing. Fast. Looking at this Globe that my parents bought me back when I was a kid in the 1960's, I found it interesting to look at it from a different perspective just by happenstance. Took 67 years to see it this way, peering from the top down. We seldom if ever see it pictured that way. And this isn't going to be a political statement my friends. It's quite the contrary.

A ReTurN to UtaH! The BomB!

December 2025 marks a return to Utah after many trips to Salt Lake, Park City, Moab and St George spanning 32 years. Most recently, and heck it's been 12 years ago - 2013-  I attended the Sundance film festival in Park City with the VIP guidance of Dallas' Micheal Cain.

NeW YorK NeW YorK!!

A first visit to NYC during college included a trip to the WTC in 1977.  More on that later here.

Fast forward to the late 80s and 90s there were frequent trips, probably 20 or more, resulting from a newly minted entertainment career that sprung up in Dallas in 1986. In NYC the Dallas crazies connected the Apple with our pond in Dallas to help invent The Third Coast in Big D for music, art and fashionistas. Many contacts were made and enriched in early visits to New York before the era of email and cell phones via - banging on doors of record labels, talent agencies, promoters, magazines and other contacts in the old school way. Shoe Leather. Many high-level brilliant connections ensued and will be celebrated in NYC August 2025 as we gather again.
