Okay, here's the deal: You surf and scan and post and view all day long. Suddenly, your eyes turn red and your hands get carpal tunnel from all that squinting and clicking! I offer you a place for you to kick back, relax, toss back a (virtual) cold one or two, and just chill. So kick off your shoes at my little rest stop along the Information Superhighway!

An Interpretation of a "Wonderful" Song

This video has been circulating in e-mails over the last several weeks, and now I share it with you.

The great Louis Armstrong recorded the song "What a Wonderful World" back in the late 1960s, but it resonates even today as a message of hope for Mankind's future. Not bad for a minor jazz number sung by a trumpeter in less than 2-1/2 minutes.

At this year's Helpmann Awards (Australia's rough equivalent to the Tony Awards), an unusualist named Raymond Crowe treated the audience to a shadow-puppet interpretation of this classic song. Sit back and watch the magic!
