RARE musical release from lester b thomas

ladies & gentlemen,

I thought you might like to take pause and listen to the following song entitled "winter" by reclusive writer/philanthropist lester b thomas. This instrumental guitar song is from lester's forthcoming debut cd titled "winter". (look for a link on this blog somewhere (sometime soon)...

========================
"With this debut offering, lester b thomas has firmly planted his foot in the musical landscape of nowheresville. The tone of this stark and meager tune is especially appropriate for those of us who have been cooped up during this long winter...enduring brutally cold nights & downright gloomy days. If this is a legitimate sample of what's to to be expected from the other songs on the cd, I have big hopes for this relatively obscure post modernisto, lester b thomas.
God bless the musical independence revolution!

status update #001a

- more an excercise in mental cleansing than a public service
announcement:

- currently recording new lecture at Lincoln institute
of land policy

- preparing to launch new Reelife branch: extraordinary events
documentary film/video/slide preservation
(working a much sexier title). recorded audio demo of an audio clip
that will appear on new webpage dedicated to this new branch.

- added new section to Reelife's new home page- Projects/in progress.
so visitors can see what I'm up to on a day to day basis (not that
anyone really cares - or do they?)

- submitted a very exciting proposal for the production of a
performance documentary for a very well established Ballet company
that is looking to produce something for PBS or arts channel. stay
tuned...

- I love "mobile me" - apple's "cloud" based server that allows for
access to files an photos etc from anywhere (including iPhone)

- I love Apple's iWeb software. It's allowed me to take over complete
control of Reelife
website... which, I might add, in my humble opinion, looks pretty darn
snazzy!

- I'm working in a new invention! for real. (as my best buddy dave
"carp" carpino used to say). It invloves an iPhone and a new iPhone
app called "auto cue". and that's all I'm gonna say for now. stay
tuned...

ok. my brain has been cleansed. thanks for listening. ...

Keeping Busy Reelife Style

Well, just when I thought the recession monster got his gnarly claws
on the Reelife machine, it turns out the "gigs" are starting to stroll
the door again. I love it when that happens because I hate twiddling
my thumbs as some of you may aleady know.

I'm on my way to a last minute shoot in Cambridge for the Lincoln
institute of land policy for 2nd time this month. Their director of
marketing,Anthony Flint, seems to be embracing the idea that the
Internet is the perfect outlet for videos of lecture & conferences.
Reelife has been producing for them for about 5 yrs.

alright. I need to cut this blog entry short.

tip#1: steering your car with your left knee, on the pike going 80mph
(on cruise control) while blogging from your iPhone is where I draw
the line!

The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy

Today I am recording a lecture on Property Rights for the Lincoln
Institute (Cambridge). The lecture is part of their "eteach" online
course. Lincoln is an international 'think tank' that deals with
important and controversial land use issues that are becoming more and
more relevant to us as the earth's population continues to grow by the
second! I've been working with Lincoln for almost ten years now and
I'm proud of this collaboration...
