Greensleeves
Have always found this to be a simple but beautiful melody from days gone by. Like many of us I first heard it as “What Child is This” during Christmas season. I’ve got two cameras running and am recording this with an MAudio Board, and a Sonar 7 setup. All is put together in Media…
Night and Day by Cole Porter
I wrote a piece about my mother (posted on KenRisley.com). There I spoke of a dream (nightmare actually) I had as a young boy as I drifted off to sleep to my mother’s playing of this song on the piano. For years I did not like the melody not realizing the association. In my mid…

These communications hang there, like little armed bombs; owning us and dictating so many of our actions; in wait for that simple and certain acknowledgment. Each unacknowledged communication takes a piece of us and freezes it in a moment of waiting. Stilled,…
Ridge Soaring in Utah
Kim and I had the opportunity to participate in some ridge soaring in Utah. Following is a video of our experience.
Families – and Our Abilities to See Them
Have you ever noticed how family are the ones that love you most but often know you least? I’ve heard it said that one is rarely a profit among his own. I believe that is because of high familiarity. This is rather rampant in families – though I think it is only an apparency. This,…
The Underlying Economic Problem and What You Can Do.
This is not pretty – but it is a succinct statement of negative factors to our economic situation. In 1913 we allowed money changing elites to take over the money of this nation. All money created is created out of thin air and then is charged as debt subject to interest payments paid to those…
