This was the season finale. I left the first few minutes of music from show before.

It was pretty experimental .. some things worked well ... ignore the rest.

Well that was a nice way to spend January.

Ah Choo !! Sniff.

It was worth it.

Really had to wing it this show.

Some nice traditional Colombian music..

... and I do my Bambuco debut.

Years from now this could be valuable.

But there may not be electricity to play it.

Oct 28 Show: Hostage Crisis Lima Peru 1997

2010-10-30T10:33:00.006-04:00

Pepe Castro-Pozo helps me revisit and explore the events around the hostage taking at the Japanese Embassy.

Very happy with result despite challenges - including my first use of on-air phone (missed a lever & Pepe couldn't hear my voice as he read a very powerful poem).

I greatly appreciate his involvement especially, as it became clear, this is still a very emotional topic for many Peruvians.

I put a long Sebelius track on as I 'finished'. The guy after me didn't show up and the Program Director liked the tune so I got to drive around town for a half hour still listening to the Estonian Choir singing about Kalev from my own show.

Happiness is.

My cousin Eric picks Blues songs, and describes why he likes 'em.

....plus let me type a little ME( or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Update here:

Researchers from the FDA and NIH had a paper peer-reviewed and set for print in the renowned Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA.

It had already leaked that it was going to be a strongly positive study verifying the link between ME (and other illnesses) and the XMRV retrovirus... a serious and immediate threat to public health (as in EVERYBODY).

At the last minute the CDC got senior US officials to withdraw/delay the paper and at the same time they published a negative study (mediocrely completed in March by scientists whose careers have seemingly been marked by the desire to suppress serious CFS investigation).

Sounds like the X-files ?? But its absolutely happening !!

Here is one investigative reporter's take:

www.cfscentral.com/2010/07/fdanih-paper-in-limbo-patients-unite.html

Plenty of commotion in CFS community so far but no mainstream media picking this up.  She has since been told by U.S. government contacts that the FDA/NIH study WILL be released in 3 weeks, without change. We may see. But why the hold, why the obfuscation? What is being hidden ? To whose possible benefit ?

A short movie (nicely done), asking the same question

May 12th, was ME/CFS International Awareness day.

I went to the event organized by the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Association of Ontario (MEAO) at Queens Park, Toronto.

Its very hard for people with M.E. to get through each day so only two hundred or so - a very small percentage of those effected- could attend.

Above are posted - as MP3s - the speeches - including the press conference inside - where the microphones and amplifiers work much better ... maybe because of the mixed incentive in facilitating boisterous crowds outside.

In editing, I tried for best trade-off of crowd energy versus sound distortion.

I believe the MEAO will have indoor video and audio available soon. But maybe they need a little rest before that's available; in the mean time here's something now and brain-fog-friendly.

It was inspiring to see people - at considerable personal sacrifice - fighting very hard for those that cannot. Now to write my MP & MPP.
