With all the new people on here, I thought I'd recommend my little old YouTube channel. For a while, I maintained albums of theme park music, and then they got so big and demand so high that I shifted everything over to "The Theme Park Audio Archive."

Check it out!

I thank the God daily that they are stupid and weird and not remotely charismatic to the general public. It’s our biggest blessing.

A wonderful final day in The Netherlands! Enjoyed Amsterdam, went to the Van Gogh Museum, paid my respects to the Chet Baker memorial, and finished up with a Heineken before my flight.

Listened to Autumn in New York and paid my respects to Chet Baker where he passed in Amsterdam.

Just learned Kate Bush did a music video in the old Efteling haunted attraction. It’s like if Stevie Nicks had sung Edge of 17 in World of Motion or something.

Look. They ain’t hard to find but there is no way I’m not adding all of Efteling to The Theme Park Audio Archive when I get home.

This is my fav Walt quote but I was never 100% sure it was real. I feel when Leslie says it then I can take it to the bank. (Not Disney posting of course. They still sell mugs with “If you can dream it do it: Walt Disney” I’m sure.)

I could write a THESIS on how well Danse Macabre does a lot with relatively little space. Vibes! Beats! Silence!

Timing is king and it has it in spades in a way that many big park attractions lack!

An INCREDIBLE snowy first day at Efteling! The charm of this park can't be beat. What an amazing and unique place!

Apparently you can watch the early years of “The Brave and the Bold” in The Netherlands.

Got to enjoy The Johnnie Walker Princes St. Experience with my students and BRC Imagination Arts absolutely killed it in bringing whiskey to life. Congrats to Christian Lachel and his team for an incredible act of storytelling!
