Doug Barton plays piano at the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute



I rent a room at Doug's house.  He's a good fun person who is very helpful in the Little Rock community both via volunteering and his professional services as an Optometrist.

How to insert a calendar into your blog


I wanted to add a calendar to my blog to keep track of my favorite radio shows, any other events and to invite others to be able to send me info via email about other events I might include as well to act as a public resource.

If you use Blogger, like me, its easy.

You just go to your dashboard and select "Layout" and then click "Add a Gadget" on the right side and scroll down a few choices and add the "HTML" gadget.

These instructions are for adding a Google Calendar.  Select calendar settings and there will be an embed code which you can copy and paste in the HTML field, save it and you've got a calendar on your blog.

If you want to change the size of the calendar, simply change the width and height parameter numbers accordingly.

Here's the calendar.

Writing music was never so beautiful to look at.

My friend, Reed Means, owner of Palm Tree Shoe Productions​ 
asked me to work as the second unit documentary camerman for an experimental film entitled A Dream Retrieval Ritual​ 
which is the continuation of work by composer Ryan W. Gaston​ in co-operation with Adam LANSKY SOUND​ 
all of whom took a radical approach to re-setting what art is within the crosshairs of then, now and in the future ensuring the audience understands its as much apart of producing the outcome as the authors.

Here in the online social network arena I hope you, who are reading this, understand how powerful your feedback is in the form of comments, likes, shares not just to some marketing economic metric but to the very fabric of the universe which is born in consciousness - yours.

I'll be starting a networking facebook group in this regard for those who "get it" and are willing to pay attention to other people's work and share it like it was their's knowing that's how things really get done. Anyone who thinks that physical things like money, time, age, language, race, sex, etc. and the pressures against these facts are what holds people back from the good life - think again. Its what we are not willing to do with what we've got that is our self - imposed prison.

Back to the avant garde composition:

The 4th Wall between performer and audience was dismantled in one giant psychedelic blast after the next A Dream Retrieval Ritual. Even now, it does because its an evolving as is possible in our techno age of instant re-membering and dissemination. Its a seed, a catalyst dropped into the solution of self-destruction writ large in our corporate government soul controlled illusion surrounding us in commercial language in the signs we pass driving, the emails, the mis-education, the media brain washes us till we think we want something when really our desires have been accessed by culture vultures to do their dirty deeds dirt cheap.

Below is what passes for sheet music amongst these deviants. Everyone who saw it wanted to know more about what Ryan put on paper and how it translated to the performance.








Here's a video of Reed explaining the pictographic notation.

This is the band 
Öliv Örkást this sheet music is for.  I presume it will be as PROG-tastic as his last effort with 

Here's some of his previous work with Hot Cognition.
Speaking of work how'd you like to get paid for sharing your passion with others and helping folks get healthy through what Mother Nature has provided that Monsanto has taken away and poisoned?
