Salty Moses



I wrote this song during 2016 and had it professionally recorded in April 2017 before the Trump Administration backed out of the Paris agreement - thus making the song somewhat prophetic.  I have studied the Climate Change issue a great deal, and have been trained to be a speaker/presenter by the Climate Reality Project.

My goal in writing the song was to bring about an awareness of the Climate Change issue - hopefully encouraging conversations about it, and acceptance of the scientific findings.  As Neal deGrasse Tyson stated - this is "Objective" science at this point - meaning it is true whether we believe it or not.

Climate Change is both a concern and an opportunity at the same time.  Similar to the industrial revolution, climate change is creating an energy revolution - and fossil fuels are being phased out in favor of renewable energy. This is projected to create a lot of jobs as there is so much to do - and it makes economic sense.  It is now cheaper to fix the problem than to continue doing business as usual. 

Fossil fuels no longer have a monopoly on transportation - electric cars and fuel cells are here and are becoming more popular.  Utilities are no longer monopolies - individuals and businesses can generate their own power with solar panels.  Changes in agriculture are turning agricultural practices, that have been used for 150 years, upside down.  Large agricultural chemical manufacturers are racing to figure out ways to support the changes that are taking place.

An upbeat song about a topic impacting nearly every living organism on Earth. Great Country flavor mixed with a lot of truth - and even a dash of political sarcasm. A highly unique voice carries the melody - a voice you will want to hear again and again - as unique as Adam Levine's and Ed Sheeran's.

Kenneth Howard Smith's Super Bowl Sunday February 3 2019









































APACHE JUNCTION AZ (IFS) -- As we celebrate the Super Bowl for 2019, we also must remember the tragic flight of TWA Flight 3 that takeoff from Las Vegas in 1942.  For more of her story we go to Wikipedia:

Carole Lombard (born Jane Alice Peters, October 6, 1908 – January 16, 1942) was an American film actress. She was particularly noted for her energetic, often off-beat roles in the screwball comedies of the 1930s. She was the highest-paid star in Hollywood in the late 1930s. She was the third wife of actor Clark Gable.
Lombard was born into a wealthy family in Fort WayneIndiana, but was raised in Los Angeles by her single mother. At 12, she was recruited by the film director Allan Dwan and made her screen debut in A Perfect Crime (1921). Eager to become an actress, she signed a contract with the Fox Film Corporation at age 16, but mainly played bit parts
She was dropped by Fox after a car accident left a scar on her face. Lombard appeared in 15 short comedies for Mack Sennett between 1927 and 1929, and then began appearing in feature films such as High Voltage and The Racketeer. After a successful appearance in The Arizona Kid (1930), she was signed to a contract with Paramount Pictures.
Paramount quickly began casting Lombard as a leading lady, primarily in drama films. Her profile increased when she married William Powell in 1931, but the couple divorced after two years. A turning point in Lombard's career came when she starred in Howard Hawks' pioneering screwball comedy Twentieth Century (1934). 
The actress found her niche in this genre, and continued to appear in films such as Hands Across the Table (1935) (forming a popular partnership with Fred MacMurray), My Man Godfrey (1936), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress, and Nothing Sacred (1937). At this time, Lombard married "the King of Hollywood", Clark Gable, and the supercouple gained much attention from the media. Keen to win an Oscar, at the end of the decade, 
Lombard began to move towards more serious roles. Unsuccessful in this aim, she returned to comedy in Alfred Hitchcock's Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941) and Ernst Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be (1942)—her final film role.
Lombard's career was cut short when she died at the age of 33 in an airplane crash on Mount Potosi, Nevada while returning from a war bond tour. Today, she is remembered as one of the definitive actresses of the screwball comedy genre and American comedy, and ranks among the American Film Institute's greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema.
Today's show include music from SDC Radio One with Six Feet From Salvation, talk of the 1966-67 Los Angeles Rams and its famous athletics that went on to recordings, television and motion picture glory.
