My daughter forwarded this to me from Ireland.

Here’s some complimentary investment advice….      ;-)

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,
you will have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have
$33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago,
you will have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all
the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you
would  have received  $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily
& recycle. It is called the 401-Keg

Recently I attended the ConvergeSouth converence in Greensboro, NC. I filmed the keynote address that was held on Friday, October 17th (the video titles incorrectly say the 16th).

On Tuesday, Janet Conover and I joined Jack McCray to experience some wonderful Jazz music at the Footlight Players Theater in downtown Charleston. Jack is a driving force behind the local jazz community in town. He’s the author of “Charleston Jazz” and an advising member of the Jazz Artists of Charleston

We got to enjoy an afternoon and full evening of interactive workshops, lectures and stellar performances by the artists that have made Charleston a vibrant hub of jazz music in America. This particular series was called “Holy City Homecomin’”.

I’ve included two videos that offer a sample of the evening. More video will follow with highlights of “The Power of the Pulse” workshop put on by Clay Ross and an extremely informative lecture by Jack McCray called “Return To The Source”.

First is the soundcheck and performance samples from the band Gradual Lean.

Next up is Clay Ross and his band MATUTO (which is Brazilian slang for “country bumpkin”).

Here is more video from this past Saturday at Piccolo Spoleto in Marion Square. All the tents were filled with musicians, vendors, artists, performers and more. Lots of family fun. Be sure to visit often because the lineup of events changes daily.

Today was opening day for both the Spoleto Festival USA and Piccolo Spoleto here in Charleston. A large portion of the outdoor events in the Piccolo lineup are held in Marion Square in the heart of the city. I took a couple of hours around lunchtime to visit with some of the artists and vendors at the site. I will be busy shooting footage of everything I can during the festival and will have many video reports for Spoletotoday.com to follow.
