Austin, Texas AUGUST 2008
Hi All and Welcome !
Lead Story:
08/20/08
Several years ago I lost control of my independent record label, Rocking House Records. I lost it because I was too broke to renew the $29.95 fee for another year. It was a sad day, at least for me and a few other Texas Musical Artists who were on the label. Therefore, I am delighted to announce to the world that I have regained control & ownership of RockingHouseRecords.Com. In the coming weeks I will be redesigning the website. My newest CD, EQUATORIA, will be released on the RHR label and I will be retiring both DeadOnRecords.com and RockingHouseRecords.NET. All past and future recordings by other artists and myself will appear on the Rocking House Records Label. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
RHR Updates forthcoming
EQUATORIA, MY NEWEST CD IS FINISHED. THE SCHEDULED SPRING 2008 RELEASE HAS BEEN DELAYED, DO TO A MIX UP IN THE LYRICS., I HAD INADVERTENTLY INCLUDED LYRICS FROM "VOODOO CHILD" IN MY RE-CUT OF VOODOO CHILD (SLIGHT RETURN). TAMERA KEARNEY OF EXPERIENCE HENDRIX L.L.C., HAS BEEN MOST HELPFUL REGARDING THE MECHANICAL LICENSING PROCESS AND I EXPECT TO GET THE RELEASE GO AHEAD ANY DAY NOW.
THE NEW CD SHOWCASES ME IN MY TYPICAL ROLE IN ALL ASPECTS OF MUSICIAN /SONGWRITER/ RECORDING- MIX DOWN & MASTERING ENGINEER, AS WELL AS CD GRAPHIC DESIGNER.
EQUATORIA FEATURES 6 NEW SONGS I WROTE AS WELL AS THE RECUTS OF JIMI'S, PURPLE HAZE AND VOODOO CHILD (SLIGHT RETURN)!!
CHECK BACK OFTEN FOR RELEASE DATE UPDATES!
UPDATE AUGUST 01, 2008

QUOTE FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM

Imagine for a moment that you are an American soldier fighting in Iraq. Imagine finding tiny little children's shoes scattered in the rubble of a house you just hit with a mortar. Well, the military has a solution for your, justified horror... just take two of these....and then go kill some more.....
Cell phones seem like a great way to communicate, and those microwaves that so conveniently transmit your voice ARE the smae ones that cook food.

From the Pennsylvania Turnpike, to the Chrysler Building to the Indiana Toll Road, and much much more, Foreign agents representing Foreign countries are buying up American infra-structure like there was no tomorrow and at $.50 or less on the dollar...

John Lennon's quote from above may not be that far off, at least as far as biology is concerned. You will have to watch the following video, all the way through to the end, to see what I mean...This may very well be the most definitive video of human history yet. There are 29 episodes, watch them all.
Texas CPS / "Child Predator-System" . They claim their goal is to "re-unite families". The way they do that is by kidnapping the children in the first place.
Haitians starving to death, forced to eat DIRT PIES! Meanwhile, the bastard elite spend untold billions on war & destruction, FATTENING THEIR POCKETBOOKS..
Lee Iococca, from his recent book: "We should be screaming bloody murder. We’ve got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can’t even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car"
iI've said it before and I'll say it again, "Global warming is not man-made. The entire solar system is getting hotter. "
"So where is the oil going to come from?...". Read what current USVP Dick Cheney said about it, in 1999!

Quote of the moment:
"This is why the world war against Iran has not started yet, because our National Guard must first be convinced that its duty is to put down the American rebellion which will surely accompany the bombing of Iran."

MILLIONS BILLIONS TRILLIONS
excerpt from Hal Lindsey / Global Research
On Tuesday, the U.S. national debt topped $9 trillion for the first time in history, according to the U.S. Treasury Department's daily accounting of the national debt. Nine trillion dollars! The number is so staggeringly high that it exceeds our ability to comprehend it in monetary units.
Million, billion, trillion – in financial terms, for most of us, it means a lot of money, really a lot of money, but that is about as specific a picture as most ordinary people can grasp.
Let's put all these "illions" into perspective. A million seconds is roughly 12 days, whereas a billion seconds is approximately 32 years.
We understand dollars. And we understand time. So it would take 12 days to pay back a million dollars at a dollar a second. But if you started right now, you'd pay back a BILLION dollars, at a dollar a second, in the year 2039.
A trillion seconds is roughly 32 thousand years. At a dollar a second, you'd pay back a TRILLION dollars in the year 34007.
According to scientists working for UCAR (University Corporation for Atmospheric Research) " The next sunspot cycle will be 30-50% stronger than the last one..." and interestingly enough, the year in which the solar cycle will peak is 2012!

Bo Diddley was in Austin recently for a show at the Paramount Theater. His show was upbeat and lively despite a recent back operation and the loss of some toes to diabetes. He had his trademark square red guitar and led the audience through a resounding "HEY BO DIDDLEY" call/ answer session. He also sang a new tune called "Wake Up America". Who would of thought that he would have such insight into current affairs...Thank You Bo Diddley!
