YouTube

Posted on by

Last April my father and I shut down the archives of our YouTube
channel. With over 650 videos and four million views it was getting
hard to create new content.

People did not like seeing the old content shut down, so we took
things a different route and made the archives available by
subscription. $25 a year is less than most lessons nowadays.

Now YouTube has abruptly cut off paid content. Subscriptions will end
January 1st, 2018.

While the situation is out of my control, I still want to do right by
our subscribers.

Effective immediately we are making the old videos free to the public.

If you are a subscriber, save your receipt. Contact us when we launch
our new project early next year and we will give the first lesson
module on the house.

Klown Car!

Posted on by

I love monster movies. They make me happy.

One of my favorite monster movies is Killer Klowns From Outer Space. It’s a movie about killer Klowns from outer space. It’s funky and weird and, as I said before, it puts a smile on my face.

A while back I mentioned Killer Klowns From Outer Space in a workshop. By some miracle of the Internet, Mike Martinez is a banjo player. Mike is also a stunt man – and he did stunt work for Killer Klowns From Outer Space!

Mike saw the workshop and sent me an autographed picture of himself on the set of Killer Klowns From Outer Space. I keep the picture over my desk as a reminder of the wonderful way random lives can intersect.

Today I found a video Mike posted showing how he did the Klown car stunt in Killer Klowns From Outer Space.

There are some other cool videos on Mike’s YouTube channel. Here is a demo of his fire stunts.

I love the way the Internet connected me with Mike. I hope I can get out to California someday and make music with him. Maybe a West Coat folk musicians retreat!
