Horses
have pulled our wagons. They pulled our plows. They carried our
soldiers as they defended our borders. They carried us across the
country and helped build our nation. They represented wealth and
poverty. They have been bred for strength, speed, and stamina.
Their bloodlines have created international stars and have been a
source of national pride. They have been healers and family pets.
They have been a source of an enjoyment in film and television.
They have created cultural ions and sub-cultures, which have spanned
generations. They are a national treasure, whose spirit represents
our nation's indomitable spirit and ability to overcome adversity.
By
honoring the past, present, and future of horses, it will cross
genres and combine the best elements of talk shows and documentaries.
From celebrities to wildlife advocates, Spirit of a Nation will
show the joys, challenges, and sometimes the heartache of loving
horses, while showcasing individuals, organizations and businesses
that cater to horse lovers.
Much
like Mutual Omaha's Wild Kingdom, Spirit
of a Nation
combines the concepts a talk show with that of a documentary. It
will utilize both interviews and on scene location events to give the
viewers an insiders view of the horse world. More than a travelogue,
it will contain segments on current and frequently controversial
topics, veterinarian care, and horse related events across the
country, while honoring individuals and organizations in the horse
world. Spirit of a Nation combines the spontaneity of a talk show
with the informational aspects of a documentary.
I
have just created a page for Spirit of a Nation. If you love domestic
or wild horses please like go to it's page to like it and share its link

Until You Walk
The Path, You Won’t Know Where it Goes will be chatting with
magical dual Bobby
and Jeramy Neugin on May 2, 2013 at 1 pm
eastern as they talk about how they reclaimed their Native American
heritage and how doing so influenced their careers.
Bobby
and Jeramy Neugin, a father and son professional magic duo have
performed throughout Oklahoma since making their debut two years ago.
Located in Historic Lost City Oklahoma, They are the only Father and
son professional magic act as well as being the only Cherokee
performers, a rich heritage of Cherokee magicians going all the way
back to their ancestor Rebbecca Neugin, the last surviving member of
the Trail of Tears, who was known to dabble in magic and speak to
helpful spirits known to the Cherokee as ‘the little people’. In
order to make them stand out even more, they do tricks that no other
magicians perform, including incorporating as many of their Indian
legends as possible into the magic.
Known
to perform dangerous illusions live, previous audiences have seen
them describe Cherokee legends that involve bursts of fire followed
by live swarms of red wasps emerging from the palms of their hands,
Jeramy cutting his father Bobby’s arm, with live scorpions crawling
from the wound, five foot black snakes hatching from hollow eggs,
drawings of snakes becoming alive and crawling from the page at their
command, smashing their hands on cups hiding deadly spikes,
swallowing needles and razor blades, pulling dreams and nightmares
from audience members heads while they hold a dream catcher, and
their signature trick, Bobby setting his son Jeramy’s head on fire,
burning him to a skull, and restoring him to life. Besides performing
close-up, stage, and street magic they are also the only magicians
working to preserve their Cherokee culture with magic.
Because they are constantly growing and expanding their knowledge,
they rarely perform the same show twice for any given audience.
The
Native Americans always had people involved in magic. Shaman,
Medicine man, witch, Conjurers- Each one was a specialized field,
separate from each other, while all shared each of their beliefs.
None used them more than the Cherokee. The Conjurer was known as the
High Priests to the Cherokee People. They were called 'Conjurer'
to others. They spoke to the dead, Guarded their people against
the Supernatural, communicated with spirits in nature, as well
as those that had departed from this world. They Spoke to and
dealt with 'The Little People', helpful spirits to the Cherokee,
similar to fairies and ghosts.They
also predicted the fates of the tribes' members as well as the
outcome of battles. They were the tradition keepers, the story
tellers and the historians, using Magic and illusions as visual
aides. They were an important part of Cherokee culture, as both
adviser to the chiefs and to the people until 1801, when missionaries
declared them evil and magic was wiped from our heritage. By 1820
Most Cherokee were practicing all the white ways of life, little
regard being paid to what the white missionaries described as
"heathen rites". Few Conjurers held on to the traditional
beliefs and ways. In 1838 the removal called "The Trail of
Tears" took place, one of the darkest most shameful events in
U.S. history. Cherokee were forced out of home with just the clothes
on their back, if that. Further knowledge of the Conjurer was lost.
What was retained was only what they could remember. The missionaries
were again waiting for them when they arrived in Oklahoma. It seemed
the ways of old were long gone. Or so they thought. Some survived.
Passed down from generation to generation. We are determined to bring
the magic back to the tribes. We are the last two Conjurers left of
the Cherokee Nation.

Until You Walk
The Path, You Won’t Know Where it Goes will be chatting with the
veteran, actor, producer, and director Larry Wilcox April 18, 2013 at
1 pm eastern as he talks about what's next for himself and the
industry.
Larry Wilcox has
seen show business from all sides - as an actor, producer, writer and
director. He notonly survived his fame as co-star of one of the most
popular television shows of the early 1980s, but he has turned his
five year stint on CHiP's into an enduring professional career on
both sides of the camera, finding solutions both in and out of show
business.
Nearly
thirty years after CHiP's debuted on NBC, Wilcox is still an
articulate, intelligent talent with a gravelly Wyoming accent.
Wilcox's portrayal of CHP Officer Jon Baker drew from his own
background;like Wilcox, Jon was a quiet but driven country boy making
good in the big city. In fact, Wilcox was born in California but
moved to Wyoming as an infant. Raised by a single mother (along with
two brothers and a sister), he remembers that the family had to work
hard to make ends meet.
Moving
out to California after his freshman year of college, Wilcox
contemplated a career in music until an acting coach encouraged him
to try performing. Soon, however, Wilcox joined the best, the Marines
(like his older brother). Although he was offered a stint as a Marine
Officer it required a 6-year additional enlistment and Wilcox decided
not to accept Marine Officer Training School and to pursue foreign
languages and embassy duty as an enlisted man. The day of his
departure, his orders were fouled up and he was sent to Vietnam
during the Tet Offensive, where he was part of a recon team inserted
with a T-16 survey piece of equipment mapping the mountain tops and
jungle for future fire bases where he also worked his math and slide
rule magic in a Fire Direction Control Center.
Wilcox
is presently is working on multiple TV projects including a
documentary on at-risk youth titled Flowers and Gardeners. He just
completed shooting for Mitsubishi in April of 2012 and began shooting
immediately a documentary about Land Grabs and Civil Liberties. He
also just shot a Pilot and Sizzle Reel (wrote, produced and Directed)
called GOLD
DIGGERS and is in discussions
with Networks. He is also producing and directing a CHIPS
Special in September 2012.
He
is also on the fore front of providing a very unique cross platform
digital distribution management solution for all verticals including
the entertainment business. Wilcox states that ingesting all
protocols and then selecting the screen they will be delivered to,
and then optimizing the content for that screen is where distribution
is going. Video production is taking up the majority of all online
business and will continue to grow in sales in double digits.
Retail, Medical, Education, Manufacturing and Entertainment are
primed to utilize cross platform solutions. Creating a content
marketing strategy and distributing that content will define
longevity for most businesses in the next five years.
Wilcox,
a solid family man indulges in a myriad of hobbies, including
basketball, rodeo, WW II aircraft, reading philosophy, psychology,
guitar, and biographies of American business icons while being a life
long student of parenting and psychology.
