IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!

Don’t let Rochester’s City Council red light camera program fool you. If it is about safety there are other alternatives than their thievery from the tax payers. Rochester can implement a safer way to stop at intersections. Make the yellow light longer and all sides of the traffic lights come to a 4 way stop, then proceed to the green light on the side next to go. Simple? Right? Not for Rochester’s Democrat City Council unless it involves your money they could not care less about your safety. Who is getting paid off here? WHO?

ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! YOUR MONEY! STOP THE THIEVERY. Go to the City Council meeting tonight. Tuesday December 20, at 630pm. 30 Church Street. Call before 530 tonight if you want to speak if not hold a sign say or do something!! STAND UP!!!

Music Show #26 – 12/21/ & 12/23/2016 –Something to Believe In

Many of us spend much of our lives searching for the answer to the question “What is my life all about?”  These are a few songs about my personal quest.

Song #1 “Everybody Needs Something to Believe In“ – This song is not about everybody needing to go out and pick a religion, but more importantly it’s about holding your beliefs up to the light and examining them.

Song #2 “Take Us to Heaven” – Maybe, heaven is more about what we create each day here for ourselves than some perfect paradise in the future.

Song #3 “The Wind” – The second song I ever wrote that requests the aid of “the wind” to give me some direction and then to put that wind behind me to keep me moving.

Song #4 “The Stop-Motion Church of Love“ – A church about finding love. A church filled with laughter and sometimes tears. “A church where you can be yourself and leave the props to someone else.”  A place where you can tell your story and truly feel alive.

Song #5 “It’s a Mystery” – “Why do we trust our foolish pride, as she takes us on a lonely ride?”

Song #6 “Could You Be My Religion?” – A song about going out to look for that just right product or religion.

Song #7 “Om Namah Shivaya” – A mantra (simply put):  I bow to the God within. “Sometimes it’s the simpler the better.” Smile, laugh, sing.
