This video is about two years old. 9-year-old Olivier knows how to draw a crowd in the London Underground. He's 11 now and still going strong. Subscribe and enjoy!

I believe that President Lyndon Baines Johnson brought the name up frequently as he addressed the nation. "Mah fellow Merkins"

The touch of Disney is lethal. I had worked for ABC News for nearly 30 years as correspondent, producer and bureau chief in Asia when Disney bought ABC in 1995 under the hand of Michael Eisner. He immediately slashed the news budget and started closing overseas bureaus. My friend and colleague - World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings - the only person at ABC to whom I was out - referred to Eisner as "Mickey Louse." Mike

What amazes me most is the mother of these six. She has four more younger kids - who sometimes appear in videos. Married 20 years with 10 kids... and the photo of her on their website shows a really beautiful lady. I love the family dynamic of Cotton Pickin' Kids. I got hooked on Bluegrass about ten years ago by the Mizzone brothers from NJ who made up Sleepy Man Banjo boys. Now they're still performing and have received national recognition. And Robbie's BF has joined the group as bass player.

Loved it!

So far... so good!

Those of you who were "not born yesterday" will probably remember a huge project we took under the amazing leadership of Camy and Bruin Fisher just ten years ago. The title is still available at Amazon.com for those of you who might have a few bucks left over from your stimulus checks or those outside the U.S. who didn't spend their shekels on holiday this year or last. https://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Dude-Selected-Readings-AwesomeDude/dp/1466345640/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=midnight+dude+awesomedude&qid=1610228424&sr=8-1 😉 Mike

RJ, We have a new feature at AD. The Recycled Story using a little recycle icon. While it is primarily for serial stories, we can also apply it for those authors who want to update or freshen Short Stories as well. Also using it for excellent stories who are no longer writing or with us. Just let me know and I can considering scheduling a recycle. Mike

Cole Lam is now 14. When he was 12 he played a public piano in an underground railway station in England. He admits this Freddie Mercury medley was an ambitious undertaking but the crowd was so appreciative, one man missing his train to listen to it all. As an encore he plays (and sings) Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah which brought me to tears. To see so much talent packed into so young a lad gives me hope for the coming generations! I hope you'll give a like to this one and maybe - like me - follow this kid on line. Mike

My apologies to Alan and his readers! We've been having technical difficulties with uploads to to the AD server (FTP). Problem has just been solved, so expect Alan's fine story Another World to appear Saturday 10th. Thanks, Mike

Ain't that the truth!

Camy, please delete the third video. The first two are cool but this axxhole is vulgar and his language is not welcome at AwesomeDude. I tried to delete this loser but for some reason had no success. Thanks, Mike

Oh. my! 🤩
