In this special Christmas episode, MichelAngelo talks to the Grinch himself (oh well, let’s just say it’s me, channeling as much of the Grinch’s world view as possible). An exceptional, light-hearted talk - though darker points do crop up: all the better to stimulate real thinking!

Warning! If you are not interested in making music digitally using a keyboard and your computer, this episode is NOT for you, for you will get bored very quickly! (Better to listen to one of my other episodes instead.) But for those of you who are interested in this topic, this special episode will give you some important info you will need to get started down a path that will be both creative and delightful!

Note: the title says “digital keyboardist”: although I refer specifically to digital harpsichords, much of the info given is equally valid for working with digital pianos or organs.

The fact is that some of the laws we have make little, if any, sense. A fine example of this can be found in the areas of illegal drugs, and prostitution. In this episode, I point out some of the inconsistencies in the law, and in people’s views in general.

We often let our personal feelings about others influence our acceptance or rejection of what they are actually saying. This is usually a mistake – one that can keep us from seeing the truth, as is explained in this episode, which belongs to the “personal improvement” category.

Though most everyone knows that China and Japan are not the same, many people in the West don’t know all that much about either country. In this episode, I speak with Brandon Ricks, a young American who lived for six years in China, and who has been residing in Japan for over a year now. Brandon tells of his experiences in China, and – a surprise, even for me – his Chinese wife then joins into this conversation, one that has quite a few merry moments!

It was 59 years ago today (November 22, 2022) that the killing of an American president shocked the world. Somewhat incredibly, there are still some people around who believe in the “lone gunman” theory as regards the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. For those of us who don’t have the time to be professional researchers into this topic: is there enough evidence to suggest that the killing of this beloved American leader was in fact the doing of powerful “behind the scenes” forces? My guest, Tokyo based artist, teacher and actor Victor Casale and I discuss what we know about the facts of this case – facts which speak a language plain enough for anyone to understand.

In the ten-year period before the “Covid” outbreak, approximately 30 million Americans came down with the “seasonal flu” every year. Yet in the one-year period after the Covid outbreak, there were in the U.S. a mere 1,800 cases of seasonal flu: well over 15.000 times FEWER cases of the flu! Has some miracle occurred, or does this incredible phenomenon have an explanation that is not only much more reasonable, but also infinitely more sinister...

Though many people don’t yet realize it, we are, and have been, in a war for several years: but in this new type of warfare, the “battles” take place in cyberspace, in mass propaganda, and in the economic and “health” sectors. Nonetheless, the stakes are higher than ever – and neither side can afford to lose: a most dangerous situation!

As of now (November 12, 2022), many Republicans are frustrated because the anticipated “Red Tsunami” did not occur: Sure, the party of Lincoln did make some significant gains, but considering the state of the nation, any reasonable observer would have expected total landslide victories for the great majority of Republican candidates. Yet from a “30,000 feet” perspective, what is really happening? And would a red landslide really be what Trump wanted? This episode contains more food for thought than the mainstream media would give you in an entire year...
