MichaelMyer, you went and posted here, and got me reading Lee's webpages, checking out his artwork, listening to Welcome to Weirdsville, reading about Lee and the internet radio stream and Halloween tradition; and went and ruined a perfectly shallow and incorrect view I had of Neverending. You'd think after 44 yrs, I'd know better.

Sorry to hear about the 5/2012 catastrophic computer failure, and losing irreplaceable material. I know how that feels first hand, more times than I'd like. For me, starting in 2nd grade I started drawing Godzilla comics, simple original stories and monsters. By 5th grade I had a stack of 52 pages of monster comics and drawings. Then in 1980 we moved, and I had put them in a brown Jewel grocery bag, which I thought was mixed in with that haphazard pack-rat collection of boxes and bags in a 20x30 basement. I looked for my comics for years and never found them. Then in high school, had my warped "Grandma Killer" comics lost by a friend who borrowed them. Lost one of my favorite 4-track tapes on which I recorded my original electronica music compositions from 15 yrs back. Then last week I bought a 8-track player from the Thrift store to play a 25 yr old 8-track of a very rare folk group, to finally record digitally, and discovered it's missing.

Seems God, or whatever else, takes these things from us from time-to-time. Could be the outerspace beings like our material so much they take it. Maybe it's just our field has to be tilled from time-to-time for us to look at new things, discover new perspectives, become a part of new things, and start creating new material and venues.

I think many of us need some new NeverendingWonder magic to share.

I have some original 'scary' electronic music I recorded. And for my radio show I sound engineered some sequences using the Halloween theme, King Kong and Godzilla clips and music, and mixed in many Godzilla film sound clips into the Blue Oyster Cult song Godzilla. In time for Halloween, I need to create a horror film show for my show. And it's got to be good, and it's going to take a lot of work. I have some original material I'd love to contribute.

I bet many of our HDC group has material (digital) we could send you that you could create a "NeverendingWonder HDC Friends" show that you could broadcast Halloween! These days most of us have a PC mic and free sound recording programs (I could give simple instructions for anyone who needs it). For those interested we could all record a short Halloween message sound clip (Wave or MP3) -- just a 'hello' from (use your HDC name), maybe in a scary voice, or tell your favorite ghost story, or tell a favorite Halloween recollection, submit a scary song, offer some Halloween requests, and the like.

We have the perfect amount of time to put this together. Anybody down for this? I think this would be a blast! What do you say, Lee?
