It is getting worse. Glad these new restrictions on the homeless will not happen, but in more places, if you sleep in the car, or on public property, or even in your own RV, you will be asked to leave, OR YOU FACE ARREST! :(

Any videos of Judith Resnick playing piano? She was killed in the Shuttle Challenger explosion 50 years prior.

Another marimba piece I composed but overlooked for 10 years. It is for marimba trio and it is called "Impromptu for 3 Marimbas".

I am having some very bad times. In fact, I am so flat broke! Meet me at 4750 N. Sheridan (1st floor, Chicago) today between 10am and 1:30 pm for some piano performing by me and help me raise funds for my own better Christmas, because inflation is worsening in my budget by the days! Thank you!

You will be in for a treat if you go. Free admission.

Located at 1627 Lake Cook Rd., Deerfield, IL

I think I have a new piano skill--hand doubling. Here I pretend to play the most difficult piano concerto's 1st movement of the Rach 3. (Leonard Pennario, pianist & Philharmonia Orch. under Walter Susskind). Hope I did my best.

I am having a very terrible day this weekend. I do not know what to do.

It is getting worse. ICE is hurting anybody in Chicago who messes with them. When will it be all over?

Very difficult to troll for friends on Bluesky! That is why some people swear by it.

I AM GETTING MORE AND MORE DEPRESSED! MY FINANCIAL ARREARS ARE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE BY THE DAYS! :( :( :(

I know sadly at one RNC convention she was reporting in, she was arrested by police officers. I saw that arrest on YouTube. Observers tried to stop her arrest but police told them to STEP BACK OR THEY THEMSELVES WOULD ALSO BE ARRESTED...That is sad about what happened to her.

I had severe asthma NEARLY ALL WEEKEND, and I almost died. This is not good for me at all. I need real help on this.

It is now moved to Cafe Mustache at 2313 n Milwaukee Ave. Some of my merch is still there.

Very despicable day! Big and Beautiful Bill passed!!!!!

My depression is worsening much more. Sorry! :( :(

Rough times! I cannot find a job anymore!!!

Get ready for protests against Trump's plans to kill off Iranian's supreme leader Khamenei or bombing with bunker-buster munitions on Iranian nuclear sites I have a very keen thought that these protests will grow and grow in the next two weeks.

Oh my gosh? Trump might attack Iran? I DON'T WANT HIM TO DO IT!

Depression is worsening. I am reporting to Substack because I lost all forms of hope. :( :( ,:(

My garage sale still continues at Decorators but due to worsening times for me it is upgraded to a liquidation/moving sale. Merch of mine needs to be cleared out by the end of the week.

3321 West Armitage Ave. (Chicago) Open every day except Tuesday.

Here is some of my merch.....

Good bye. No more protesting in downtown LA. Dispersal order enacted. Fireworks going off by flashbangs. No more No More Kings. Curfew is now in effect. There will likely be arrests.

The garage sale of Charles Joseph Smith is still on at 3321 W. Armitage Ave (Chicago). Lots of my stuff is still remaining but has to go. It likely will be a moving sale soon.
