The legendary actor James Earl Jones gives a 6 minute reading of Shakespheare, at the White House, and it is awesome to behold!

More than a decade ago I had the honor of having this wonderful man as a customer in the bookstore where I was Manager, one day, in Claremont Ca.

One of the greatest, most pleasureable, moments of my life!

To hear that glorious voice in person, hear him laugh, and shake his hand, was a joy, and an honor. ;-D

AS DESCRIBED:

"James Earl Jones' "Othello" at the White House.

Academy Award winning actor James Earl Jones performs from Shakespeares Othello at the White House Evening of Poetry, Music, and the Spoken Word on May 12, 2009.

God, that was brilliant!

And, I'm a Palin Fan! ;-D

A great new Poetry resource.

I was surprised, and honored, to learn that it has a link to a post of mine on Cat Haikus. ;-D

FROM THE WEBSITE:

"HAIKU is a new directory that is continually expanding. As a "human powered" directory created by people throughout the world, Haiku provides patterns of relevancy that search engines & algorithms cannot achieve.

HAIKU is a project of Onyx, a California based nonprofit organization dedicated to global literacy projects."

Very cool, entertaining, and informative.

The Jingle Bicycle Song!

Who needs a sleigh anyway?

Just take your bike out for a spin instead! ;-D

The tale of a Love Struck Mollusc as told in poetry, and pictures. ;-D

Relevant today more than ever.
