Raggin' Piano Boogie

For two years I have been expressing and manifesting a true sense of self, a positive sense for who I am with the many thoughts and ideas that surround my Wildest of Dreams. I envision Oprah's participation through Harpo Productions in all of my Wildest of Dreams with me!

I have sent over 730 DVDs sent to Harpo Productions. (a successful two year commitment for myself) Many life long relationships who support my dream are on the DVDs. Tens of thousands of support signatures individually collected while performing… 32,300 in just 33 days… and the 500 gig computer hardrive of archived information have been sent to Harpo Productions. It is all in safe keeping I hope. God, that process was fun. A comprehensive letter that 14 individual friends sent in the beginning of this year to each producer capsulized my Wildest Dream manifestations to date. My seven inch battle scar'd belt loop was sent as proof of my continued effort to sustain a healthy body as well as a healthy mind and spirit… I sent it with a note saying, "Oprah, I am not just sitting on my butt waiting for my Wildest of Dreams, I am working my butt off and here is the proof." Ha! I have displayed thousands of writings and pictures now posted on the Raggin' Piano Boogie website which will take a year to experience if only starting today. My websites are a manifestation of my Wildest of Dreams created in the spirit of sharing fun, desire and passion.

Contact Oprah and ask her to join me in my Wildest of Dreams! It has become clear to me that I am not asking for Oprah to create them for me. I am asking her to fulfill them and support them "with" me. I have had one clear original visual in my life. It is to streak (clothed of course) across the superbowl field for fun entertainment while slammin' down some wild Boogie Woogie piano music from the back of a one-of-a-kind pickup truck so… to do it is all that matters. The how, when and where is not is not in the realm of the dream to figure out. Whether it is before, during, after the game is not as important as having as many people as possible especially the spectators experience the dream with me as it becomes reality. I do not have the desire to accomplish this feat on my own. With Oprah, I believe this dream can be achieved. I have watched her determination, her consistency and I have experienced her intent over the last twenty some years. From my experience of Oprah, I believe and trust that together we can accomplish this fun life experience and share it in our world.

How amazing the process of my Wildest Dreams has been. I have a new found ability to create music that originates from my soul. With my entire life as a full time career musician… to find my soul through music at the age of 50… to have the ability and self-confidence to share it with others while leaving behind life long fears surrounding repression and judgment… and mostly… to be able to take my newfound gift and to use it to inspire and empower others to creatively express themselves through music. Wow!

My total acceptance to bring the journey of my Wildest of Dreams into reality has resulted in my first ever tour away from home with the Raggin' Piano Boogie truck. We created a journey (Boner and I) to gift the hurricane Katrina affected areas down south. We began to "Create Music for People to Discover", to "Musically Empower and Inspire", while "Sharing Fun, Friendship and Respect". The experience was such a character builder that I have continued daily with it all ever since. Our recent experiences throughout rural America and Mexico to visit with people who rarely have the opportunity to experience a piano or a piano man, to visit communities where other musicians rarely frequent validated my abilities beyond imagination. The Virginia Tech student body's request after their tragedy… for Boner and I to come and stay with them until the end of the school year verified for me completely the intent of my soul.

The successful pursuit of my Wildest of Dreams thus far… bottom line… has been the result of a desire for and a learning experience in personal intimacy, understanding and inclusiveness. This is and has always been my priority first and foremost above any commercial interests. All of our appearances and performances to date have been for no cost. I of course desire financial success and I believe I will have it but physical wealth is not the driving impetus. I have found much more satisfaction from one-on-one personal performance interactions then from high paid performances or interactions with crowds of 500,000. I am always discovering on deeper levels that trust comes first and best with personal interaction.

Presently, I want for the world to meet Boner the piano dog before he retires from the Traveling Piano truck. Bo will turn thirteen years of age in November of 2007. My best friend, my first dog ever, has been the catalyst for my travel in everyway. My desire is to take advantage of our partnership and our ability to give as a team as much as possible… everyday. I must do that to the fullest. Boner brings so much joy to the world and is full of life and interest in every opportunity to interact with others. The original plan for 2007 included a trip to Hollywood where I wanted some television exposure for Boner in order to introduce him to the world. Our detour back east for Virginia Tech resulted in an even bigger agenda. I am currently home to clear out my personal belongings and possessions while raising the funds to ship the Traveling Piano truck, Boner and myself to the world Olympics in China for 2008. There Boner will meet the world! Afterwards we will plan to continue sharing our fun spirit and entrepreneurial musical creativity with everyone we meet throughout the rural countryside's of China. When we return to America, we will begin in Alaska and then travel south towards Hollywood as originally planned. Finally, we will head back East through the rural and urban landscapes of America.

Tell Oprah we need a hookup! Ask her to pull some strings for us… suggest that she join up with support for us in everyway! Ask her to respond to our generosity with generosity from Harpo Productions so that we can continue together to attract and spread love in the world! This request is also for you the reader. Be an example for Oprah! I am working on this mission to spread love and joy as an indiviudal. Let us work together as individuals to achieve the Wildest of Dreams. Join us on this journey. Support us in everyway… please! Check out our commitment through the daily log and pictures on the Raggin' Piano Boogie website. Send people the Traveling Piano website link, newly created this year.
