“House of Dark Shadows”, the theatrical release of ABC’s long running 60’s serial, “Dark Shadows” has finally come to the iTunes store. The film is more a synopsis of the series.

The Creative Genius of Gustav Mahler

Gustav Mahler

I found something on YouTube I’d like you to watch. It’s a video clip of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, “The Resurrection”. This is an excellent short clip which will allow you to see the creative genius of Gustav Mahler and the reason why I love his music so. Go here to view the clip.

Also look at this clip from Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 in C Sharp Minor.

388 Sexual Gratification and Equality

I talk about being sexually gratified. The process of making life sustainable and fun. Near the end of the podcast, I suggest gays have much to learn from the civil rights movement of the 60’s; how we can use it as a model for achieving our own equality in the modern world.

387 Orchestral Music

I play a sample of an orchestral piece found in the 1968 film, “2001: A Space Odessey”, but it was not written for the film. “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” was composed in 1896 by Richard Strauss. This piece would turn me onto, “music without words”. Mic: Shure SM7B; Mixer: Mackie DFX6; Recording device: Garageband. Total running time: 30 minutes 05 seconds.

A Brief History of My Existence.

Go here to view two new video’s I uploaded this weekend to my gallery. Both were shot with my iPhone’s camera. The first is a tour of Birmingham’s Southside “Highland Avenue South” area. I show you the apartment’s I lived in when I first moved to the “Ham” in the early 1980’s (right after graduating from the University of North Alabama) with my lover (you heard me) my lover Rick. We lived together one year in Florence, then moved to Birmingham. Our relationship was more like an ongoing boxing match than a love affair. It ended after two years. For the first time, I would become independent of anyone. It would be sink or swim time for me. I moved into a one room efficiency (just down from where Rick and I had lived together) near Rushton Park.

Tim lives in Tampa, Florida now.
