This clip, from Charlie Chaplin’s classic silent film “The Circus“, pretty much sums up Obama’s foreign policy, every major decision that he has made and how the world sees the once mighty United States Of America now. Keep all those in mind as you watch it.
Enjoy!
The Tramp, unfairly accused of stealing, is chased into the middle of a circus performance, where he unintentionally wows the crowd and lands a job as a clown. Chaplin strings together several great set pieces, but two in particular really stand out. First, the Tramp, having swallowed a massive horse pill, is chased across the circus lot by a donkey and seeks refuge in what he thinks is an empty trailer. Turns out it’s the lion’s cage. He turns to leave, but the door locks behind him. At least the lion is sleeping, but a dog comes and starts barking frantically at the Tramp, threatening to wake the lion up. He tries to crawl into the next cage, but that one’s holding a very-awake tiger. When he crawl’s back into the lion’s cage, he nearly knocks over a steel tray, which surely would wake the beast. Then the ringmaster’s daughter stops by and he tries to get her to open the cage, but she faints from the very idea of where he’s trapped. Then she wakes up and opens the door, but, trying to impress her, he stays in the cage acting like he’s not scared….until the lion roars and the Tramp finally comes charging out.
These guys take juggling to a whole new level.
Enjoy!
Minnesotan Tom Gaasedelen and his three friends are quite the jugglers. They don’t simply juggle three balls. They perform intertwining tricks that dazzle the eyes and confuse the senses.
The entertainment for this weekend: Unorganized Hancock performs One Note Samba by Antônio Carlos Jobim.
Enjoy!
Homeschooled Jazz duo Unorganized Hancock performs One Note Samba by Antônio Carlos Jobim from the album Jazz Samba. One Note Samba, or Samba de Uma Nota Só, was originally released on the João Gilberto album O Amor, o Sorriso e a Flor.
The 11 year old drummer was playing a Pearl Export drum kit that he found in a dumpster in Rio de Janeiro. The guitar player was playing an Epiphone Wildkat Hollowbody Electric Guitar with Bigsby that has been passed down through generations of mediocre guitar players.The amplifier is a Fender Mustang III on a clean jazz setting.
A Behringer C1 and Audio-Technica AT 2050 were used for microphones. Everything was recorded into a Tascam DP-008 where it was tracked, mixed, and mastered.
I would like to thank Mr. S for donating the Audio-Technica microphone; we use it on every recording.
Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 32bit, was used to edit the video. For cameras, we used a Kodak PlayFull HD Video Camera.
Both members of Unorganized Hancock are homeschooled and living in Maine.
Avery Molek is an amazing 7 year-old drummer. In this video Avery covers Rush’s iconic hit ‘Tom Sawyer.’ This song is tough enough for adult drummers to handle but Avery plays along with it flawlessly.
Enjoy!

This is my first song I learned by sheet music all by myself.
Thank you Pat for teaching me how to read notes and music!
