Jingle Bells – My Christmas Fart CD

Hey kids, it’s Christmas time again. You know what that means. Time to dig out your favorite Christmas Fart CD. May I recommend a Farting Christmas by Santa’s Farting Elves. Yes, I produced this.

The Meaning of Life
I had someone recently tell me they were very perplexed and sad because they didn’t know the meaning of life. I shared some thoughts with them that I think are rather obvious and pedestrian. The thoughts were very new to them and opened up some new thinking. So I’ll write them here in case any one else finds it of use.

English Practice: Taking a Taxi to Texas to Pay Taxes
A Chinese friend of mine came up with a mild tongue twister: Taking a taxi to Texas to pay taxes. I thought it was something from an English book like “Sally Sells Seashells by the Seashore”. But they said they made it up. I googled it and don’t see it anywhere on the web. I guess I’m a geek. I think it’s so cool that it’s original.

Do Music Producers Need College
Do you need a college education to be a music producer?
I really can’t say there’s a “right” answer to this question. I am addressing this question partly because of very heated comments and opinions on music education schools in my blog post here:
