"In just 37 years, he showed us the power of passion, the importance of perseverance, and the profound impact one creative soul can have on the world. Today, Van Gogh's works hang in the world's most prestigious museums, cherished by millions. His story is a testament to the enduring power of authentic creativity. So, to all the creators listening, your art matters, your vision matters, your voice matters, even if the world doesn't recognize it yet, keep creating."

"To push boundaries, Wilder often tackled taboo subjects, expanding what was possible in cinema. Three, balance is key. Wilder's films often blended cynicism with humanism, creating complex, relatable characters. Four, collaboration matters. Wilder frequently worked with the same actors and writers, building strong creative partnerships. Five, keep it simple. Wilder once said, if you have a problem with the third act, the real problem is in the first act."

"My childhood was far from easy, marked by an abusive stepfather who turned violent when he was drunk. And he was often drunk at 16. Seeking escape and a fresh start, I left home, traveling as far as I could until I reached California. What I didn't know then, what I couldn't have known, was that when I ran away on February 1, 1967, my father had only a week to live. Had I known, I would have gone to see him."

"Hi, folks, this is Richard Sisk, and I wanted to continue on with the theme this creative journey. Often we think of creativity as the realm of artists and musicians, writers, actors. But creativity occurs in lots of different ways and with different people. And one person who exemplified creativity in this way was John F. Kennedy. He was the 35th president of the United States, and my earliest memory of John F. Kennedy dates back to 1960."

"But it was a passenger train. And as it went by, everyone turned to look, and on the back of the train, there was a platform, and standing there was Dwight Eisenhower waving to us. I thought it was remarkable that this man in his seventies made the effort to walk to the back of the train just to wave at this small crowd of onlookers. It was a simple gesture, but it left a lasting impression on me."

"This particular day, the DJ came on and he goes, and here we have another Neil Sadaka record. Well, I'd heard that so many times that I remember thinking, gosh, Neil Sidaka must be a record company to have that many hits. But that's how popular his music was back in the sixties. Those of you who remember him probably remember some of the great songs that he came up with. Calendar Girl was probably one of the most popular. Happy birthday, sweet 16."

This is the story of my visit to the animation studio that created the Flintstones, the Jetsons and many more!

"She took me on an extensive tour of the different departments where I saw animation artists at work, including those who did the painting of the cells and the backgrounds. I was amazed when she took me to a rather dark part of the studio where an animation cameraman was working at a huge animation stand. This thing was about 15ft high. She left me there for about half an hour and the cameraman was very kind, explaining what he was doing in great detail. It was absolutely fascinating."

"To my beloved mother. I trust you are at peace. Your visit and my dream was a gift. Thank you. And I cherish the hope that we will be reunited someday. Thank you, mom, for gracing me with your presence once more. Well, thank you for listening, folks. Bye bye now."

My harrowing drive down the Mogollon Rim in the dead of night!

"And in that instant, a massive mack truck barreled around the blind curve and he was about three or 4ft over the centerline. It was so close I could feel the wind rush past my car. Had I not moved over, the head on collision would have been inevitable and probably fatal. My heart raced as I continued down the rim, the reality of what had just happened sinking in. Never before and never since had I heard a voice from someone who wasn't there."

"Well, hi folks, this is Richard Sisk, and I'm going to tell you a little bit about myself and what I'm up to. I've spent the last few decades doing photography, in particular, panoramic photography. Along the way, I've made a few short films, painted a few paintings. I've written a few songs, and I've got this interest in recording audio. So I've always been interested in creative things."
