Open Letter to Kasie Hunt at MSNBC

An Open Letter to “Kasie” Hunt:

Day before yesterday, Kasie Hunt personally invited me, right there on her “Way Too Early” morning show, to email her and tell her why I’m up this early — right now, her show is just starting — I’m missing part of it because I came out here to the office to get this up on my blog page, and here it is:

Hunt. Your last name is “Hunt”. I only mention it, because there was rampant speculation that, after your “D.C.” program, nobody knows your last name. Well, in at least one case, that’s not true.
Now that we’ve got that over with, Hi, Kasie!
Like the London gardener in “Beyond the Fringe”, I’m always up around nine-ish, planting oats and carrots for the night-fighters. I’m a writer, artist, jazz musician and teacher of all those and more, and have always been a night-worker, the kind you don’t see in the shadows. I burn the Midnight Oil — always have, always will.

Horses That are Just Out of the Gate!

These Covid 19 Parody songs are all new to youtube, all of them posted in the past few days, and all with very low numbers, all less than 50 views as I post this blog — I’m predicting that several of these will be winners with hits of 1/2 million or more within a month, and some will hit the rockets within a day or two — it is as I have forseen.

Another Day Shot to Hell

This is an experimental film I made with a short talk at the front of a covidkiller demo — the whole thing behind this experiment is that I can be ALONE and record a talk.

By the way, the backdrop is one of my favorite New York Loft shots — it’s not easy to get the background to read and to also leave some room for the subject in the middle of the shot.

You’ll notice that I’m trying to get a little distance between myself and the camera, which is hard with the physical green-screen hanging just behind me.

I desperately need another computer — this one is some ten years old, and was converted over to windows 10, made necessary by my computer equipment budget, which is ruled by my social security checks — and once I have that, I’ll be able to do the backdrops without having a physical green-screen behind me.

Problem is, it’s already a small space, and I need to get back from the camera at least three feet to get the effect I want.

The distance formula I use for the head-and-shoulders angle determines how I take the image in for the backdrop — the angle needs to be the same as the front subject, see? Continue reading
