Help me give my dad a great birthday present.

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.

This is the page with his drawings: http://wildbillcastle.weebly.com/art-gallery.html

This is the page with his music: http://wildbillcastle.weebly.com/music-hall.html

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.

I'm really proud of my dad and I think more people should see his art. I like your ideas about marketing and selling. I wish I had more time to help him with this stuff.

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

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.

"extreme tripping dude in the interstellar dimensions of the Milky Way Galaxy" is a start.
