DAVID PERRICO & HIS MINSTRELS–A FESTIVAL

DAVID PERRICO & HIS MINSTRELS–A FESTIVAL

WELCOME TO OUR NEW FORMAT. PLAYIN YOUR DREAMS AND‘TAKE’ 5 WILL BEGIN ITS NEW ‘THE ROAD NOT TAKEN’. WITH OUR NEW MISSION STATEMENT IN OUR PREVIOUS POST, I AM GRATEFUL AND EXCITED FOR OUR NEW DIRECTION. WHEN THE FORCES DICTATE, WE WILL BE SHARING AND PROMOTING THE DREAMS OF OTHERS IN CERTAIN SEGMENTS OF OUR WEBSITE.

Forces have dictated this new path. During my journey since the physical passing of Nick, I have discovered that when outside forces move you, it is more harmonious to flow with them than to fight against them. How many times have you done otherwise?

Even though, we find these outside forces frightening as they push us into the world of the unknown, we can learn to use these forces to shape the dreams of our lives. There is no age limit on dreams. However, how one treats oneself as one journey through life will have an effect on future dreams as one age.

Your daily decisions should be based on the following 3 simple principles.

  1. YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD.
  2. YOU ARE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND.
  3. WHEN IN DOUBT, REMEMBER TO ‘TAKE 5’. ASK YOURSELF TWO QUESTIONS.
    1. WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
    2. WHAT CONSEQUENCES CAN THERE BE?

Only you can protect your dreams. If you do not, others will then shape them for you and ensnarl you within their dreams. Your life will become dreamless with no directions or goals. Besides protecting one’s dreams, one must also be willing to promote and share their dreams with others.

A dream is just a wish, if it is not written down. A dream is just a wish, if it is not shared with others. Do all dreams come true? No. It could be a sign that a different dream is needed to achieve the results that one seeks.

Life is just about results. There are no winners or losers in this Game called ‘Life’. Each person has the ability to PLAYIN YOUR DREAMS.

This post is about 11,000 words. A maiden voyage awaits me as I will attempt to embed musical treats from these Minstrels and others throughout the post. It looks simple, but it will be new to me. As a back-up plan, in a formal audience, I have asked the ‘Siren of Song’ for her ‘Blessings’ on my voyage.

As we parted after her two fantastic sets the previous time. She blest me with a ‘Smile’ and an embrace. She then placed another gift in my hand. It was a slightly filled  bottle of water she used.It now sits next a photo of Rudy. Mike Guido in red, arranged for Rudy to speak to our classes during our time at Las Vegas HS. We both shared his video of Inspiration and Dreams to our students.IMG_2312 She told me that within the bottle was her air. Her air carried the musical notes of her soul. If obstacles appeared now or in the future on my journey, I was to open the cap and let the air mixed with her musical notes fill my room.

She told me for that moment, I could visit a favorite place in my mind and that might overcome my obstacle. Use as much as I needed or wanted, she said, for the bottle would automatically replenish itself for an unlimited supply.

The sound and video of  the ‘Musical Treats’ vary. You the reader can decide on its message. Most the videos will showcase the Minstrels as one very large Orchestra during their performance at the Cabaret Jazz, in the Smith’s Center in June of 2016, Other clips are from the last few months at The Lounge in the Palms Casino as David Perrico’s Pop String Orchestra.

THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO ALL WHO PLAYIN THEIR DREAMS. IT IS ALSO DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO SHARE AND PROMOTE THE DREAMS OF OTHERS. THIS STORY HAS BEEN WEAVED INTO PREVIOUS POSTS, BUT FORCES NOW DICTATE THAT IT BE COMBINED AND SHARED IN ONE POST.

A MID-SUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM CELEBRATION A PILGRIMAGE-6/17/16

A MID-SUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM CELEBRATION A PILGRIMAGE-6/17/16

IT WAS AS BILL SHAKESPEARE DESCRIBED IT “A MID-SUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM CELEBRATION”. MARILYN MONROE IS QUOTED, “SOMETIMES GOOD THINGS FALL APART, SO BETTER THINGS CAN FALL TOGETHER”. OUR THANKS GO TO MANY OF YOU.

As I was swimming in my ‘Fishbowl’ in ‘Ye Olde’ Henderson, NV on the night of Tuesday, June 14, 2016 off into the distance, I heard a bell. The bell was a signal from my cell phone that an email had been sent to me.

Prior to this bell, as I floated in my ‘Fishbowl’, I was trying to connect the dots from where The Nick Feher ‘TAKE 5’ Foundation started to the ‘The Road Not Taken’ beginning at 6:30pm Friday night. A new relationship was to be started with ‘no guarantees’.2362AD0500000578-2844911-image-108_1416618023200 Another relationship would go separate ways. (CAUTION THIS POST IS 10,500 WORDS)

This other relationship had completed seven years. Forces dictated that it was now time to part. It is normal to reminisce as one moves forward on the journey of life. This is an excerpt of last year JUNE 2, 2015 letter that I sent to the HLL.

*After the physical passing of Nick on November 27, 2007, and through the generosity of the ‘YE OLDE” Henderson Community, and others, a Memorial Scholarship Fund was set up in his memory. The original purpose of this Fund was to honor one senior baseball player from Basic HS who exemplified “DO YOUR VERY BEST”.Read More »»»

MY 2016 SPRING QUEST FOR THE TRUTH OF MY INSANITY MARCHES WITH PART 5

IT’S FANTASTIC 5 TIME—FANTASTIC 5 IS NEW—5 IS NEW!!

Since my last post, many blessings and gifts have been sent my way in and out of my ‘Fishbowl’. I want to thank you for your continued support of my 2016 Spring Truth of My Insanity Campaign. Shout-outs go the following:shoutouts John Moiseve is attempting with his Basic HS alumni database to help contact the 1955-56 Basic HS Baseball Teams in order to invite them to this year’s Celebration.

These teams are credited for the first two state baseball titles in Basic HS History. It is the Foundation’s intent to honor them and their families at the 2016 ‘YE OLDE’ Henderson, NV Baseball Celebration on Friday 6/17/16. By doing so, the theme of ‘PLAYIN YOUR DREAMS’ can be shared with the entire baseball community.

Dina Preciado if you are reading this, I tried to PM you on Facebook about Shawn, but your page was not accepting PM’s. If anyone else reading this knows Dina or Shawn, please have them PM me. Additionally, all help is needed for my quest to honor our first two baseball state title winners in what some might consider to be a ‘Historic Event’.

My friends Greg and his wife Rachel also deserve a shout-out. When time permits, I will share with you on my website, the blessings and gifts that I received as an invited guest to their ‘dream beach home’. (Not real image)yThe views, sounds, touches, smells, tastes, mixed with ‘Time Well-Spent With Others With No Guarantees’, was the ‘Revelations’ and ‘Epiphanies’ that were needed to help fuel my 2016 Spring Campaign.
