((( SON OF BACH )))

March 8, 1714 - December 14, 1788

born in Weimar, Germany, composed during the Classical period

The second surviving son of J.S. Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel was the most innovative and idiosyncratic member of an extremely talented musical family. His music, unlike that of his father or that of the master he influenced, Haydn, did not define an era so much as reveal a deeply personal response to the musical conventions of his time.

C.P.E. Bach could play his father's technically demanding keyboard pieces at sight by the time he was seven. Also an exceptional student in areas other than music, he enrolled at the University of Leipzig in 1731 to study law, then transferred to the University of Frankfurt an der Oder. He graduated in 1734, but remained in that backwater town giving keyboard lessons, involving himself in public concerts, and learning the composer's craft.

By 1740 Bach was in Berlin as harpsichordist to Frederick the Great of Prussia. Here he was first exposed to Italian opera seria, and its dramatic style infiltrated his instrumental music. Little of this was heard at court, where Bach accompanied the flutist-king in one reactionary concerto after another by Quantz. He made several attempts to find a new position, but the stress of the king's disfavor was partially relieved in 1756, when Frederick became distracted by the Seven Years' War and was frequently away from the court. Bach found a select audience for his remarkable and experimental series of keyboard works such as the so-called "Prussian" and "Württemberg" sonatas (composed in the early 1740s) and the Sonatas with Varied Repeats (1760).

Bach finally got himself released from Frederick's service in 1768 in order to succeed Telemann as cantor at the Johanneum in Hamburg, also serving as music director for the city's five major churches; he held this post until his death.

Stylistically distant from his father's rigorous polyphony, C.P.E. Bach was something of a proto-Romantic; he was the master of Empfindsamkeit, or "intimate expressiveness." The dark, dramatic, improvisation-like passages that appear in some of Mozart's and Haydn's works are due in part to his influence; his music in time became known all over Europe. His impulsive works for solo keyboard, which lurch into unexpected keys, change tempo and dynamics abruptly, and fly along with wide-ranging themes, are especially compelling. One account of Bach's after-dinner improvisations described the sweaty, glazed-eyed musician as "possessed," an adjective that would be applied to equally intense and idiosyncratic musicians in the Romantic age. Many of his symphonies are as audacious as his keyboard pieces.

In the area of chamber music, Bach pulled the keyboard out of its subsidiary Baroque role and made it a full partner with, or even leader of, the other instruments. Yet here he fashioned the music to the public's conservative expectations, as he did with his church music. He composed prolifically in many genres, and much of his work awaits public rediscovery.

Bach also produced an important account of performance practice in the second half of the eighteenth century, translated into English as Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments. ~ James Reel, Rovi


MY COMMENT:

No myths about this guy selling his soul
It's about time, right?

((( THE DESPERATE DESIRE OF SATAN )))

Below this post I talk about the legendary Delta Blues guitarist Robert Johnson and the myth that he became known as King of the Delta Blues after, allegedly, selling his soul to the Devil at a crossroads in Clarksdale Mississippi.

Well, that is an interesting myth. Today I suddenly came across videos stating that John Lennon sold his soul and that is why The Beatles became so miraculously famous.

The concept hit me like a sudden flash. Especially as I watched a number of other videos about many artists who have apparently sold their souls to the Devil for fame and fortune

I thought about how pathetic it is that one cannot hope to accomplish anything truly great in the world unless one sells his or her soul to the devil. What? If you go to God the best you can hope for is producing mediocre crap? I mean, how pathetic an insult is it that a person has to sell his or her soul to be really, really successful in life?

It makes me wonder. From studies I have done it seems that Satan DESPERATELY wants control over this world and its inhabitants. I mean Satan REALLY, REALLY WANTS THIS!!!!

In contrast, I find it impossible to imagine that Jesus cares much about this world. For being killed for the sins of the world, Jesus probably lives in outrageous luxury. A luxury beyond all conceivable human concepts of riches and luxury. The sum of the near-death experiences I have read about give testimony to this. You never get the feeling that Jesus wants more luxury than He has.

As for Jesus' Father. Well...He, apparently, happens to own billions upon billions of galaxies and can create more just by thinking of them. So what does he care about this tiny planet? From the looks of events in the world God doesn't seem to care much at all.

On the one hand we have Satan who DESPERATELY wants this planet. On the other we have God and Jesus who, most probably, don't really care much one way or the other if Satan eventually gets this planet. I mean, hasn't Satan suffered enough? How much torture does it take before God FINALLY get's tired of torturing His Creation?

Speculation, speculation, speculation, but...well...it seems to me fallen Angel Lucifer has some VERY LEGITIMATE GRIPES and Jesus is being rewarded more than enough.

I don't know

What I do know is that I can't condone torture

((( NOT EVEN IF GOD IS DOING THE TORTURING!!! )))

That's right, God! I say you torturing your creation is... 

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!

What? You want me to lie to you?

Ah. what the hell

I just may be writing my doom here

Better stop while I'm behind

And 1965 ended with The Beatles

as the biggest band the world had ever seen

Then John essentially said that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus

and all their fame began to turn against them

Mobs who love you can easily turn into

mobs who hate you

Fame is not as worth having

as the media would make you believe

So, if John had made a pact with the Devil

would he be the only one of the Beatles

forced to say such a thing

whether he wanted to or not?

The great unsolved mystery!

Fame sucks!

'Jesus loves you, John!

Jesus died for you, because we say so

and if you don't believe it we are going to kill you!'

Motivated by their religious leaders

the masses were brainwashed into forcing John

to believe Jesus loves him by

threatening his life!!!


THIS IS CRAZY NUTS, FOLKS!!!

You really need me to tell you that

if you want to convince someone

that God loves him

YOU DON'T THREATEN TO KILL HIM!!!


What's the use?

The moronic idiots will never believe

This truth will obviously never

set them free

((( KING OF THE DELTA BLUES )))

The myth of Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil,

at a crossroads in Mississippi in order to become

King of the Delta Blues

is quite a powerful one!

You would think God would say:

Hey, you don't have to sell your soul

just give your soul to me and

I'll do the job even better!

No such luck, right?

Seems to me,

AND I COULD BE WRONG,

but it seems to me if God was doing His 'job' right

(pun intended)

NOBODY would ever consider

selling his or her soul

It's because God is APPARENTLY

too busy to give a shit

that people sell their souls to the devil

I may get in trouble for writing this, but I say

it's to God's shame that ANYONE would even consider

selling their souls to the devil

I say it's a sign that God's creation deserves more

than to be so bereft of God's blessings

they would ever even consider

doing such a thing


Then again if God was doing His job right

Satan would be out of a job

and on unemployment

Considering how long Satan had been working

Maybe God just doesn't want to pay out the money

Well, I would hope that at the very least

Robert Johnson finally has a steady gig

playing the blues in hell

What better place to play the blues, right?

((( WHO YOU ASSOCIATE WITH )))

THE GREAT ASSYRIAN KING ASHURBANIPAL

Suddenly I've had a burst of insight from the Spirit of Intent, or Mother Nature, or the Spirit of Mother Earth, or countless names throughout the cosmos

Anyhow...

I've been shown that I should be extremely careful who I associate with in my world because if I continually associate with those who's intent is to bring me down they will relentlessly work towards sabotaging my success in life

Okay, that's logical and any fool should be able to see the logical value of such actions, right?

Well...

I just realized the EXACT SAME THING HOLDS TRUE for those with whom I associate with on the Internet! I should NOT spend significant time posting in skeptic forums where all they want to do is ridicule me and bring me down.

AND FOR THE VERY SAME REASON AS IN MY PHYSICAL WORLD!!

Frankly, I'm rather shocked I did not see this before. It should have been as plain as plain can be and yet, I was rather blind

Lesson:

DON'T REGULARLY 

ASSOCIATE WITH YOUR ENEMIES 

WHO WANT TO DESTROY YOUR SUCCESS IN LIFE

UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO

NOT IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORLD

((( AND NOT ON THE INTERNET )))

Remember that when the great Assyrian king Ashurbanipal

associated with his enemies

it was to chop them to pieces

Not to argue with them day after day

((( HANDEL WATER MUSIC SUITE )))

I've been thinking

of the music of Handel lately

I just purchased an incredible collection of

50 of his greatest masterpieces

The music is downloading even as I write this

what a deal

50 MUST HAVE HANDEL MASTERPIECES

The Water Music Suite is among them

He was truly inspired when he created this

Indeed Handel was!

I now realize that my original exposure to

Handel's Water Music Suite

was from a greatest hits collection

I have never heard the entire Water Music Suite

until I listened to this video

((( 1 EINSCHTUNK )))

My first created experimental video using the trial version of Crazytalk Animator Pro was for a bunch of skeptics in a skeptics forum who always have something bad to say about me. 

The tutorials for Crazytalk Animator Pro are a pain in that different versions of their animation programs have different tools in different places and for tech support you have to send them a support message and they will get back to you in a couple of days. It took me a while to realize that I should ONLY watch tutorials for Crazytalk Animator Pro and none for their similar programs, duh. Since tech support was the same as it was with the Xtranormal animation program it's not like this is anything new in the way of tech support

Still, this seems to be exactly the type of program I need in order to develop my public speaking; although...I won't get into the headaches I have had with it so far, but I got a lot more done through the headaches than I did with the headaches I got trying to use the Poser Pro 2012 animation program. That much is for certain! I sent that thing back to Amazon.com and GOOD RIDDANCE!!!

The trial version of CrazyTalk Animator Pro creates exported videos with their logo all over the friggin place. 

Oh well....

I'm using my own voice in the project

((( WAVES OF FUTURE DEATH )))

I was surprised to find

a veritable 'slew' of  movies like this on the way

Lots of blood and chopping people to pieces

If I didn't know better

AND I DON'T

I would say the idiot 'sheeple' are being conditioned to get used to the idea

of people being slaughtered in the streets

I find it easy to imagine that those in control of the world

know the peril of this planet with so many useless eater humans on it

UNLESS THE USELESS EATER ARE ELIMINATED

THERE IS NO FUTURE FOR HUMANITY

I wouldn't be surprised if the instinctive main reason for the star maps

put on the Voyager probes sent out into the rest of the galaxy

was the hope that hungry aliens would find them

and eliminate these excess humans

before all life on this planet is destroyed

Thank you, skeptic scientist Carl Sagan

for giving the aliens a menu

and map to the restaurant

Oh, you must be proud!

Let's get real, shall we?

Your experiences may differ, but from my perspective

MOST HUMANS I SEE ARE NOT FIT TO LIVE

and their sudden disappearance will be

a great relief to Mother Earth

AMEN!!!

In a conflict of people killing each other in the streets

it is logical to assume that

the weak, sick, moronic idiots will be the among the first to die


Like it or not it is the way of Mother Nature that

THE STRONG SURVIVE AND THE WEAK PERISH

Of course the weak, sick, idiots will say this is wrong,

but I say...

MOTHER NATURE KNOWS WHAT IS RIGHT!!

Hey, it's a great day to die a noble, honorable and courageous death,

right cowards?


MY SUGGESTION TO THE BILDERBERG GROUP:

If you have a conflict in your country with people rioting in the streets

for the sake of the survival of planet Earth

this is your golden opportunity to

KILL EVERYONE YOU DON'T LIKE!!

AND WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE!!!

I would suggest you have it done mercifully

torture has a way of coming back around when you least expect it

You wouldn't want that to happen to you, right?

If the situation was reversed

you would want to die very quickly, right?


I am obviously no hero of

the weak, sick and moronically ignorant

I side with Mother Nature

At least 90% of humanity

MUST DIE

Either you do it and calm Mother Nature

or

Mother Nature will do it and UFO aliens can plan

to come back here in about ten-thousand years

and try colonizing the planet again...

if they are lucky and

the ice age has subsided enough by then

((( HUMAN SACRIFICE )))

For many years I've received messages from Mother Nature, in deep trance states, that She DEMANDS human sacrifice from the human race as payment for all the good they receive from the planet.

THIS IS WHAT WARS ARE REALLY ALL ABOUT!!

Suddenly, I am receiving messages that the MesoAmerican cultures were given a merciful alternative to having their towns ransacked, burned, their women raped and children slaughtered. It was the deliberate human sacrifices that the MesoAmerican cultures conducted.

Their prisoners were taken from the field of battle and sacrificed in order to pacify Mother Nature, with whatever name they gave Her, so that their lives would be blessed.

AND BLESSED THEY WERE

They were given many advanced revelations about living that made MesoAmerican life a wondrous marvel of the world. Unfortunately, all their successes went to their 'heads' and they became too self-confident and brutal. So, the human sacrifice experiment had to be terminated; which was quite a shame for Mother Nature.

Now, Americans think nothing of fire napalming an entire forest just to kill a few of the enemy. They blow Nature to bits which, of course, makes Mother Nature extremely angry. Even as I write this Mother Nature is slowly breaking free from the invisible chains that have held Her bondage. As the weather goes insane and people are motivated to kill each other in the streets consider what I have written here for supposedly IT IS FACT!!!

MOTHER NATURE HAS DECLARED WAR 

AGAINST THE HUMAN RACE!!

Those who feel human sacrifice is bad and bombing people's cities is much more "righteous" are quite simply insane!

Still, from what I hear, Mother Nature (((DEMANDS))) a depopulation of this planet of about 90% of all humans. One way or another Mother Nature will indeed get what She wants!! I only hope I can continue to pacify Her Wrath at least...until I am dead. If I am unsuccessful you will see death and destruction on a Biblical scale within my lifetime, folks!

Oh, you think this is a joke?

Well then, LAUGH IT UP!!!

((( GUITAR STRETCHING EXERCISES* )))

Personally, I am rather angry that I was never told about the importance of stretching exercises in order to warm up the muscles before playing guitar. You would think at least the military school of music would have taught and emphasized them, but noooooooo!!!

Now I'm living with arm injuries that will most probably cause me pain for the rest of my life

There are other videos with different hand and arm stretching exercises. They feel great! Much needed indeed!!!

Also, when I was finally convinced that doing stomach exercises would not flatten my stomach I gave up on them and did special breathing exercises instead where I tighten my stomach muscles as though I am doing sit-ups. Great for the stomach, not great enough for my lower back. This led to painful lower back injuries. Lesson:

JUST BECAUSE SIT-UPS 

WON'T FLATTEN YOUR STOMACH 

DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN

STOMACH WORKOUTS 

HAVE NO VALUE!!!!!

Very important lesson as well

So, I strongly suggest you learn from my mistakes and really get into stretching least you end up with nagging pain as you grow older. I suggest you develop special exercises for your special injuries and make those areas stronger than the rest of your body.

I was at the gym and used the leg raises bench. I hadn't used it in a while. Boy, does my lower back ever feel a lot better!

A black guy used the front bars on the leg raises bench to slowly go up into a handstand push-up. Blew my mind! I said that one of these days I want to be able to do that. He said, "YOU WILL!" I responded saying I've been wanting to do that for years and he confidently replied, "YOU WILL!!"

Ya know, I'm tempted to believe him

((( ANDROIDS FROM URANUS 1 & 2 )))

I discovered the

Xtranormal online animation company

after watching an interesting video on YouTube

called:

Werewolves Are Vampires

I began to play around with their online program

and created the opening video, of this post, that I call

ANDROIDS FROM URANUS

The dialogue just came to me I didn't plan it

I just kept asking myself,

"What should they say?"

Frankly, I was so busy learning the program that

I didn't give the dialogue much of any thought

The first thing that came to my fingers is what I wrote

As I stated, my chief concern was learning

how to use the program

Still, it's amazing to me that it came out this well

For a first effort

somehow I felt destined for this type of animation

My next video of the androids

was more sophisticated

Once again the dialogue came to me

while barely thinking of it

You'll notice that the end drags on

that was one of the glitches with the Xtranormal program

sometimes it would add a lot of space at the end

and you could not get rid of it

so I added silly sound effects to take up the space

((( CONSCIOUSNESS: SCIENCE KEPT HIDDEN )))

The hidden science of the mind

is revealing that there is some sort of

cosmic super-mind in control of the Universe

It is beyond all concepts of God

and implies we are all existing within

some sort of massive cosmic mind

and that what we call "reality"

is all part of some sort of mysterious cosmic dream

It may very well prove to be that...

All the Universe is a stage

and we are all players playing our parts

...in a dream

((( I DREAM THE MOMENT: NOW )))

I dream,

I dream the moment: now!

undisturbed, a catalyst of emotion

Power unthinkable, exploding universes and...

a single thought equal and the same

I dream the moment: now!

Like the fire of the blazing sun, it will not be denied

I dream the moment: now!

and in this moment I see

A brand new much more perfect me

Like tracing over in stealth I superimpose it upon myself

and become the greatest person

my imagination can conceive!

True success in life is not so much for the most talented

as it is for those who refuse to give up!

((( PSYCHIC ABILITIES )))

When debating about psychic abilities

people like the famous psychic Uri Geller come to mind

Personally, I have no desire to use what little psychic abilities I may have

bending spoons and becoming famous for bending anything

I've had more than enough fame in my life, as a professional musical entertainer, 

and for the most part

FAME SUCKS!!!

I'm not interested in being the darling of the demented media

Go hassle Brad Pitt and whatsherface and leave me out of it,

thank you very much

My goal for all the psychic abilities I may possess is

to create an ever increasingly wonderful life for myself and my loved ones

To use my abilities as a musical entertainer to pacify

an enraged Mother Nature to the very best of my abilities

and to get Her to AT LEAST wait till I'm dead

before She goes berserk

As for bending spoons...

Shouldn't that be Martha Steward's job?

((( THIS GUY'S IN LOVE WITH YOU )))

You see this guy, this guy's in love with you

Yes I'm in love who looks at you the way I do

When you smile I can tell we know each other very well

How can I show you I'm glad I got to know you 'cause

I've heard some talk they say you think I'm fine

This guy's in love and what I'd do to make you mine

Tell me now is it so don't let me be the last to know

My hands are shakin' don't let my heart keep breaking 'cause

I need your love, I want your love

Say you're in love and you'll be my guy, if not I'll just die

Tell me now is it so don't let me be the last to know

My hands are shakin' don't let my heart keep breaking 'cause

I need your love, I want your love

Say you're in love and you'll be my girl, if not I'll just die

((( PRECIOUS DRINKING WATER )))

Lately, I've become more and more fascinated by the beauty of clean, fresh drinking water. To me fresh drinking water is a miraculous wonder; beautiful, precious and glorious. More precious than liquid diamonds.

I'm sure there are many in drought-ridden countries who would agree with me

How fortunate I am to live where there is much of this precious miracle to drink
