How might one spot an artist who is an industry plant ? Well, here may be a few things that seem suspicious? This is by no means definitive, or scientifically accurate, just our opinion; and opinions about music, like any other artform is subjective. None of these being a positive indicator, but…. We are not suggesting who is or is not, simply based on these. [but like many things, the more boxes being checked….] 🔲 Nepo Baby --  Rich kid / rich parents, close friends or relatives inside (or accociated with) the record / entertainment industry 🔲 Instant success 🔲 Going viral with first song posted to social media 🔲 Awards, awards, ... 🔲 Excessive number of followers / subscribers within a short period (even before actually being famous or popular) 🔲 Excessive amounts of airplay on commercial broadcast radio (AM / FM) — Do you hear their songs multiple times throughout the day, everyday, week after week, … after month, … years (?!)  Now for a bit of reality check: It takes...

All to often Christianity is associated with the facade of a normal society, that often frowns on what it considers to be abnormal. However, in my opinion, Christianity is not typical in a modern society, nor has it been in any of the previously so-called normal societies. Some will say that, in the U.S. a majority of people identify as Christian (that's identify), but one can identify as anything. That doesn't necessarily make it so. And fewer people seem to be identifying as Christians, even in the U.S. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your perspective), I don't think the percentage of actual Christians in any general society is anywhere near the numbers often suggested. Usually, when anything is considered normal, that is what the masses tend to identify with. For years, in many countries (including the U.S.) Christianity was associated with a normal society. So, the masses, wishing to fit in identified as such. So, don't mistakenly identify Christians w...

added some music Q&A stuff as a page (in the drop down left sidebar menu), the editing is a bit rough, but it's somewhat readable (maybe😯)

In the past, on my various web sites, I have neglected to give the proper credit to God. I believe that all my creative ability, be it music, writing, creating web related stuff (as basic as it may be), or anything else, comes from God. Admittedly,  I know that not everyone feels the same about their own abilities, talents and achievements (that is okay). I am aware that others have their own ideas about religion and deities. --- This just happens to be my opinion.

Although we don't consider ourselves to be anything more than novice storytellers and have written a bit here and there over the years, mostly stuff we would never publish due to the graphic content, but it was not until just the last several years that we discovered how much we actually enjoyed doing it.  By chance we dug out a horror story, which we considered to have been mostly finished, to do some final editing. Then decided there could be a bit more to the story, mainly in the form of a previously planned sequel. --- Well, considering how I was no longer on the Internet, I had plenty of time to work on a sequel as well as expand the original story (both expanding into novellas), start a spin-off and another spin-off of that. Then another idea emerged, and then some ideas for some short fan fiction came to mind. Which resulted in several stories based on the Pokémon animated television series (we are old enough to still want to call them cartoons). And although they should pr...

(Pokémon fan fiction influenced by and based on characters from the animated television series, 'Pokémon' which is copyright by The Pokémon Company International.) (unless you are familiar with the series, you may not get it 😉) --- As Jessie and James sat spying on our threesome. Jessie grumbled, in her usually vivacious tone, "I'm Bored!" James glanced at her, knowing there was nothing safe to say, but then quipped, "We could have something to eat." Jessie glared at him, then responded, "Okay." Digging though their pack, retrieving this and that and something else. Jessie again glaring, "Is that all we have? Why don't you ever bring anything good?!" James smugly shrugged his shoulders. Jessie growled at him, "Is that all you have to say?!" Digging farther in the pack she found a banana. Gleefully, she peeled the long cool fruit and hungrily began to devour it. A content James smiled at the seemingly pacified Jessie. On...

(Gilligan's Island fan fiction influenced by and based on characters from the television series, 'Gilligan's Island' which is copyright by United Artists Television.) --- Early one morning while Thurston was walking along the beach he noticed a 55-gallon drum that had washed ashore. Examining the dark green container, rolling it over to read the stenciled lettering on its side, he felt a sticky, viscous liquid on his hand. Looking at the green goop that was leaking from the canister, now dripping from his hand, in disgust he wiped the thick slime onto the sand and nearby bushes. Reading the lettering, indicating only that it was the property of the U.S. Army, with a serial number. Grumbling to himself, as he rinsed the goo from his hand in the warm ocean water, he murmured, "Tax dollars at work; indeed." Knowing none of the other castaways would be awake yet, seeing it as no urgency to inform them of the discovery, he continued his morning stroll. Walking on, ...
