Video made with the trio of songs “Egyptian Kings/Jardin/Rainbow” from the 1974 album Celestial Ocean.

Glinda Is So Money

Every quest requires a magical helper. (Watch the “Dark Side of the Rainbow” scene when Dorothy arrives in Munchkinland here. They didn’t allow embedding.)

The Frodoship of the Bling

I could use a trip to Rivendell.

The Shining

Writing a book is hard work!
