Let's see if this one works better. GarageBand.com
I'm just trying out this BLOG THIS function that lets anyone comment on any web page on the internet. I see some small potential for this. I really need to learn how to post the pictures to the blog rather than on my web server. I don't know how that works...but I'm sure I will soon find out!

It's been a busy month as the football season nears. I have been putting together my jokes. The first home game for the Cowboys is the Browns, so I'm sure their will be no shortage of jokes. I had to throw away my Quincy Carter jokes for now. If you have any jokes, pass them along. Just post them right here. When football season ends I think there will be more time to have fun with this blog, but ya never know...they have a way to include pics on these blogs now and that may prove to be more efficient than posting them to the main website. I will find out more as time turns.

Well it sure has been a while since I last wrote. Anybody want to help write a song? How about a college party song. Kinda' like the Beastie boys, "You gotta fight for your right to party" or something more on the edge. I have been tinkering with the lyrics "F U" and trying to make it a "Football University" song. Example; F U Ohio State, the number one football university! F U to . The way I figure it, it's going to take a lot of drunken, partying type people to make ME rich. But I'm not in it for the money anyway. Anyone got some ideas? Someone has said that there could be an honor roll, an F U honor roll, and I start naming some names How about some lyrics over here! F U Bill Clinton, etc... although he was not a great football player, so I guess he is out...maybe the record could scratch like I lost my mind and someone yells, "What?" and I say, "Just kidding" Maybe Bush would be better? Anyway, I'll try to come up with a line or two each week until the song is finished (the lyrics anyway). You want to jump in go ahead. Football for me Hoops for you Football University! F U... We gotta team this year One that's gonna win We gotta team that fears The fan's uneasy feelin' (Well this violates the golden rule of "Show don't tell") Back to the drawing board! By folks!

Vacation is over and this week I don't have much to write about. This week in the news we heard the same old boring stuff from our two Presidential candidates (Bush and Kerry). Well, I must get workin' on the music!

Tribute for our men fighting overseas:

Thank God for the real men of this land
Without them we'd be pushing sand

Stand up, hold your head high
Without you, this country would die...



This will be featured in an upcoming song!

Well another week has passed us by. Another week of "I don't know why?". How in the world could the Lakers lose? And the Piston's...well, I'm glad because I stand up for the little guy. We are a nation of underdogs, and well you have heard all this "K-Rhap" (pronounced kay-rap)before!

Hello, Thank God it's Friday!

Ronald Reagan died this week. I remember him as one of our greatest President's. I'm not sure we will see a man like him again. I became very interested in his style. He used humor very often to lower his adversaries defenses. He stood tall and strong. He praised those around him religiously. The man did have faults, for he was human. Oftentimes, it was Nancy that had to set him straight. I think everyone my age has a memory of this former President, whether good or bad. He was very impressionable.

I did not post this blog on Friday, so today (Sunday) will have to do. I noticed this week a lot of people standing in line to purchase their lottery tickets. Not the regular lottery, but the “Shorty Jones” lottery. People from all over the United States became instant experts on horse racing. The sure thing. These experts are the same people who stand in line every week ready to buy the next winning lottery ticket.

I have a sure thing for you, and it might cost a little, or it might cost a lot. I know that if you do not win, you will not lose. K-Rhap stands for Kindness, Respect, Help others, Ask questions, and Passion. You will not lose in life if you pursue your life’s Passion. Winning money is not a passion. Neither is earning it. To make your life’s work the pursuit of another dollar, is not in itself very fulfilling. To make a dollar from something you enjoy doing is fulfilling.

I am not the preacher here. I just wanted to share with you one of my many thoughts. Some songwriter out there is looking for these words I’m sure. It took me 38 years to find my Passion, making and producing music. Right now I suck at it. Some day I will be good at it. I cannot lose because I enjoy doing it. Just so you know, I still buy one lottery ticket each week. I think we all need to dream a little. Bet on the sure thing while you dream…YOU!

To whom it may concern,

The coming future of music will be much different than it has been for many years. All things change. The company that positions themselves correctly will prosper greatly. And the dawn of the coming future is here now!

In the past, the business model resembled an automobile manufacturing plant. However, with the power of computers and the availability of this power to the common man, the record industry has a unique opportunity right in front of their eyes. I intend to take advantage of this opportunity.

With the current working business model in place (Discover talent, hone talent, record talent, produce product, promote product, distribute product.) this model still works, but will be made more profitable when the talent, recording and production expenses are in the hands of the computer users who develop ideas in their own home studios. It is already being done.

The extra income for the big record companies will be in the products they will sell to their thousands of recording studios (home recording enthusiasts who may even be willing to pay a fee to have their songs marketed). Products that help musicians achieve their dreams.

The software for making computer music is selling well. When you start to see these products selling in Wal-Mart, it’s too late. Create a simple music making program for a reasonable price and place on shelf at Wal-Mart. Consumer buys dream, manufactures a song and has a direct connection to Virgin records. At this point, all consumers will have access to a stunning array of Virgin products. The Virgin people discover talent and in the end are selling to the consumer once again (finished music)! This model will make Virgin as popular world wide as perhaps Coca-Cola! And it all works because of my principle: We are here to help each other. I hope I have helped you today too!


Sincerely, K-Rhap
