Can't forget Box Car hitching to California and dodging angry natives in Korea 1960.

He was outrageously funny and very human. I was sorry to hear that diabetes took his life later that year. But that film he was featured in never leaves my immediate consciousness. We all are very human, sensitive creatures who deserve to be recognized for just existing in the time we had here on earth. This I sincerely try to remember every time I meet anyone who may be totally difficult to tolerate and accept. Or who for no reason other than their own insecurities try to take away your energy by putting down anyone's ideas other than their own, as unacceptable. This life is too short not to realize the wonderful differences in everyone we meet. There's magic in that sentence from the Lord's Prayer... "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us..." The word trespass only reveals someone or some action that was committed without thought as to the effect it could cause on another human being. And for that we must realize forgiveness to realize happiness.</b><br />

The Great Russian Ice Show was produced by Bolshoi Enterprises, Inc. Tom Crangle, the national marketing director asked <a href="http://langemedia.com/">me</a> to write and produce two commercials and a marketing video to send to arena managers through out the USA.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">I designed the commercial announcements to capture the intimate details of the skater's actions during the show preparation and the curtain entrance. "My Work", "My Heart", "My Life" spoken in Russian for an American audience. It was cool. Three camera's were set up in the arena, one in the balcony for wide shots and one hand held for audience reactions between acts.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">This production was fantastic. The artists were incredible. The choreography, </span>the art of designing sequences of movements in which motion and form were totally original. The opening act was a ice ballet interpretation of Faust.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Faust is bored and disappointed. He decides to call on the Devil for further knowledge and magic powers with which to indulge all the pleasures of the world. In response, the Devil's representative <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mephistopheles" title="Mephistopheles">Mephistopheles</a> appears. He makes a bargain with Faust: Mephistopheles will serve Faust with his magic powers for a term of years, but at the end of the term, the Devil will claim Faust's soul and Faust will be eternally damned.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Mephistopheles helps him to seduce a beautiful and innocent girl, who is destroyed. However, naive innocence saves her in the end and she enters Heaven. However, Faust is irrevocably corrupted; when the term ends, the Devil carries him off to Hell.</b><br />
<br />
<b>For those of you who view this video, you'll be captured by true art on ice. </b><br />

<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>A Concours d'Elegance (French, literally "a competition of elegance") is an event open to both prewar and postwar collector cars in which they are judged for authenticity, function, history, and style. Classes are commonly arranged by type, marque (manufacturer), coachbuilder, country of origin, or time period. Judges select first-, second-, and third-place finishers for each class in the event, and the judges confer the "Best of Show" award on one car from the group of first-place winners. In addition, a group of honorary judges, individuals who have made significant contributions to the automotive industry or motorsports, award a number of subjective awards to recognize standout vehicles regardless of class ribbons, as well as memorial awards created to honor specific automotive industry personages.</b><br />

</i> </div><div id="description" style="text-align: left;"><i> NBC Chicago in 1970 wanted to do a television bio doc on the man who started it all in the private key club business. Burton Browne was an incredible entrepreneur, who owned an advertising agency on Michigan Avenue that dedicated one room and called it The Sundown Room (a place to get a drink on a tab after 5pm). Hundreds of associated ad types and clients frequented the room every day, so Burton in 1953 opened a private club for his friends and called it The Gaslight Club. It became the standard bearer for all key clubs, and was soon copied by one member Hugh Hefner who did his version ultra modern calling his place The Playboy Club. </i></div><div id="pervert"></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Rock n' Roll on ABC's KSFX (now KGO FM) had the guts to hire a guy who never sold air time before or produce a legitimate radio commercial... It was a fabulous experience. San Francisco was everything I wanted a city to be and life was a daily happening. A thousand waterbed commercials later I was "King Coils" on Rock FM. In one spot I voiced in a very deep god like tone, I described the therapeutic benefits of waterbeds as in the background sfx we heard the lash crack of a whip and the repeated moan of a female delighted by the experience. The radio station got hundreds of requests to play the commercial again and Waterbed Experience stores sold hundreds of units.</span></span><br />
