Jack’s Winning Words 11/22/21

“Creativity is just one of those strange, elusive things.  It’s like trying to grab a cloud.”  (Danny Elfman)  Danny is a New Wave composer, writing the theme music for The Simpsons, Batman, and The  Nightmare Before Christmas?  He explains that creating music is like trying to grab a cloud.  You see it in your mind; you write it down; then, it’s gone.  Ideas are like that, too.  They come, and they go.  Try “grabbing a cloud” today by writing…the first thing that comes to your mind…anything…hum it to a tune, any tune.  Embrace creativity!;-)  Jack 

FROM WILLMAR REV:  Challenging like some of those sermons tackled years past?! 0;-)===JACK:  Funeral sermons for children are the worst for me.

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  Jan and I  created a lot of different programs, and I used to write skits for our Women's work and church "doings' and school events....Bill was really good at  making up original words to a familiar tune, for appropriate  occasions.  Last  year I paraphrased "Mary, it's a grand old name" for a friend we were honoring and sang it! Kind of fun to get the creative juices flowing....!===JACK:  A person who innovates is called, a neoteric.  You are one of them.

FROM JJ IN SJ:  Thanks Jack. You hit it every day.===JACK:  I "aim" to.
