Meet Gerome -The new designated spokes person for this channel. Gerome is not the typical garden variety gnome nor is he a stay at home gnome. Gerome is into art, photography, music, travel and more. He freely speaks his mind. He may not always be politically correct, however it is never his goal to purposely offend anyone. He firmly believes Truth can survive all logical and reasonable debate. Gerome is a skeptic. He believes that Science is only a tool...a method of inquiry ...not a test of "truth". Science seeks to prove a THEORY through controlled and closely monitored repetition. However neither consistency nor apparent correlation of results is actual "proof" of causation. It is merely an indication of the probability of a specific result. Science is NEVER settled. That's why "Scientific conclusions" will always remain theories.... Useful ...sometimes...accurate predictions .. but not necessarily attributable to factors as outlined in the currently accepted theory. Certain things mankind will probably never know or understand. Such matters lie in the domain of God and the realm of faith.

My first calling was as a musician and songwriter...I was fortunate enough to have a good run...Some songs from a friend of mine you never heard but might like...

Friend of mine once told me this lyric should be stitched on a pillow:
"I believe that life is for living and love is the axis on which we turn
We bare our souls till all is forgiven
and clothe ourselves with the lessons learned"

A favorite quote from a favorite author:
βA human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.β
β Robert A. Heinlein
...and one I saw on a studio wall in Nashville:
βNever attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.β
β Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
OK...one more...
βA dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.β
β Robert A. Heinlein, Friday

I play for the pleasure of it, not to please anyone. Being authentic in a standardized segment is a blessing. And to hell with the algorithm.
