((( SLIM WHITMAN SAVES THE WORLD )))









Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
When I'm calling you
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
Will you answer too?
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo

That means I offer my life to you to be my own
If you refuse me I will be blue, waiting all alone

But if when you hear my love call ringing clear
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
And I hear your answering echo so dear
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
Then I will know our love will become true
You'll belong to me and I'll belong to you

Then I will know our love will become true
You'll belong to me and I'll belong to you














*New Save The World Karaoke Song!

My New Vocal Hero!





The cattle are prowlin', the coyotes are howlin'
Way out where the doggies roam
Where spurs are a jinglin' and the cowboy is singing
His lonesome cattle call

He rides in the sun 'til his days work is done
And he rounds up the cattle each fall
Singing his cattle call

For hours he would ride on the range far and wide
When the night wind blows up and slow
His heart is a feather in all kinds of weather
He sings his cattle call

He's browned as a berry from ridin' the prairie
And he sings with an old western drawl
Singing his cattle call


*New Karaoke Song



((( RAY HARRYHAUSEN )))







The movies of Ray Harryhausen
has us kids captivated with their artistry
Just knowing he made every movement, of his creatures, frame-by-frame
was astounding to us in its realism

Nowadays I see CGI animation and pretty much take it for granted
Yeah, it looks real, but it's too seamless
It seems all the artistry of the days of Ray Harryhausen are gone
and there is no going back
except by watching old Harryhausen movies

At about 47:35 into this documentary you see something very rare
As a matter of fact I have NEVER seen it done like this before
Ray Harryhausen is filmed creating a skeletal animation movement
It is sped up so that you can see how he actually did it
and can gain an appreciation for how difficult the process was for him

I just got through editing a special video segment, for myself,
where I have the skeletal animation sequence playing over and over and over
many, many, many times without any sound
just so I can study the process.

It's hypnotically astonishing to watch!
