What he would love is more hits on his website, and folks taking the time to check out some of his amazing art and music.

My dad is really just an amazing person, and you may agree with many of his political rants.
Thanks so much!!!!
I like his artwork -- really interesting drawings and accompanying commentary, especially the Lon Chaney, Maria Ouspenskaya (sp?) picture. The postcard size "comic book" drawings were really cool too. Maybe there is some way for him to market and sell them? Maybe at a Sci-Fi or comic book convention. I remember seeing people selling prints, etc., of their original anime artwork at anime conventions. Just a thought. Will check out his music too -- what a talented father you have! Any how lucky you are to have him. Lost my dad 15 years ago this week, still seems like yesterday sometimes.

Thanks so much and thanks for sharing about your dad too.

(3,818 posts)I just listened to the first two songs -- The Snake (liked it very much) and Into the Mystic (loved that one too). I wasn't familiar with either one and enjoyed them so I'm definitely going to listen to the rest of his songs too. Your dad has a nice voice -- compelling -- you can hear that he really feels and cares about the words to the songs too. Does your dad write music too? Oh and a very Happy Birthday to your dad! Coincidentally, in talking about our dads, just remembered my dad's BD was this month too.

Thanks for sharing your Dad with us. I am enjoying listening to "Season of the Witch" right now. One of my favorites. What an incredibly talented guy your Dad is .
