“If Moses had been paid newspaper rates for the Ten Commandments, he might have written two thousand commandments.” -Isaac Bashevis Singer

W.H. TODD #12

“America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.” -John Quincy Adams

DESKTALK: The Todd video (above) was somewhat more difficult to produce than it may seem. It took several drafts before it was done. The material / subject I had to work with was great. I was not.

Originally, I was in the presentation And it wasn’t scripted.. It just didn’t work. So I removed me (the narrator’s image). I also replaced my original narration with a voice-over narrator. But the voice-over is (ironically) also me. But without most of “uhs” and other narrator faults in the original recording. (So there are some advantages to A.I. making use of voice-overs,)

And that’s about everything you don’t really need, nor want, to know about the vid.

FOR THE RECORD

“Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters.” - Isaac Bashevis Singer

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY: The years just going flying by. I did this almost 20 years ago. It just seems like all of it is so recent.

I guess it shows that “If you love the work, you’ll never have a bad day.”

I have mentioned this before: I often feel like “Rich vanWinkle” The years have passed, and I didn’t notice until now.”

[NOTE: You can see this better if watched via YouTube.]

AN OLD SLIDE-SHOW

“Come away; poverty's catching.” - Aphra Behn

This is A VERY SPECIAL NOTE

NEW: I’ve added a “special section” to the “Past 20 Years” part of the page. You will find there nearly (but not all) every video and audio production I’ve published over the last few years. They’re not arranged as nicely as I want them to be. But SOME are there – and I’ll add to them as time passes.
