Tonight is the "Super Moon". I hope it is clear enough for me to set up my camcorder and telephoto lens and grab some footage!

Next, a note to all of our friends who have been there for Jane and I during the past four months of hell as she struggled with MRSA after a hernia operation last December. We FINALLY took the advice of some knowledgable friends in the medical field and went to Little Rock for a second opinion. This resulted in immediate surgery to remove the mesh in her stomach from the previous surgery, which was the source of the recurring MRSA infection. The second operation, conducted at UAMS, was completely successful and was handled with the utmost of professional ability and care. We cannot say enough good things about the staff and facilities of UAMS, and will be forever thankful for the results. Jane is home again, resting comfortably (well... as comfortable as one can be with a wound vac attached) and contemplating what to do with the rest of her life since her former employer - a corporation - resorted to "corporate policy" by ending her job of 11 years due to missing work on the "91st day". Still... we ARE thankful that she has survived this ordeal and we will deal with whatever comes with a smile and the knowledge that at least it is almost all behind us now.

Lynn Wasson, editor for the Entertainment Fort Smith Magazine has just completed an interview and story about my days in Ft. Smith, and abut the release of my book "Face The Music". It just came out in the December issue, and you can read it HERE. Also, don't miss my report on the completion of my book "Face The Music". It is an acount of my memoirs, which is now available online. Read it HERE.

The latest "News From The Woods" article is about music and what it means to us all. You can read it HERE !!

You know, stress is the greatest threat to mankind. Stress is universal. No matter where you live, there's Stress….. Waiting patiently to eat up your life. Everywhere you turn you are bombarded by Stress. Well, I got sick of it and wrote a song about it. It goes something like this:

Don't forget my weekly one-hour commercial-free internet radio broadcast of the "HiTek Redneck Radio Show" online at www.arkansasinternetradio.com, hosted by yours truly. The Cedar Crest Studio music vault has over 500 song titles by 50 artists. This program features original music from this vault, which means if you listen you are guaranteed to hear music you have never heard before, and it's all recorded by artists and bands from the Arkansas. Natural music from the natural state, naturally….

Back in the 80's, while working as a computer technician for the Baxter Bulletin, the paper's editor Rusty Fraser suggested that I start writing a series of articles covering the latest technological advances. I got bit by the "writing bug" and continued to write even after my employment at the newspaper ended. When I began posting my online articles (now called "blogs") and started up my web site I wanted a page where people could go and see the very latest changes I had made to the web site. I chose to resurrect the "System Update" name and logo, which was created for me back in the 80's by Mark Cheney. So now you know how I came up with "System Update" for this page. To read a few of these articles, go HERE.

We now offer T-shirts and accessories. The Cedar Crest Studio catalog of logo T-shirts is growing each day. If you want to see our line of merchandise click on the logo below.
