Remember the old story about a tree falling in the forest not making any sound, unless there is someone to hear it fall? NO EAR - NO SOUND.

The same is true of comedy. No matter how funny the joke, skit, or story, it really isn't comedy unless there is someone to provide the laughter. I love to share that laughter, so you will find prices on this site from FREE to inexpensive. You will note I did not say cheap - no cheap material here. Downloads Only - No Hard Copies.

Years ago George Q. Lewis, head of the comedy workshop in New York City, accepted a group of comedy quotes.  His only stipulation was they be arranged in book form.  Since I had no idea how to do this, I enrolled in the Hollywood School of Comedy Writing, directed by Ron Carver.

Some of the material on this web site was written as part of those lessons.  I got a few A's but mostly B pluses.

By the time I finished the course, however, Mr. Lewis had died and I never did anything with my writing.

I did get several offers from comics to furnish material, but writing nightclub comedy never appealed to me.

 After closing our restaurant, I decided to attend the local community college, and enrolled in a writing course.  There, as coeditor of the college paper, I received several awards.

Thanks to my instructor I also signed a contract to provide some comedy material for Jimmy Walker, who was trying to launch a new series.  The contract was dependent on the series getting off the drawing board, but it didn't happen.

When I attended the presentation by Stores On Line, the speaker told us that information was in great demand on the internet.  The first thing I thought of was I could finally have a show case to present my writing to the public.

I don't need an agent, I don't have to listen to criticism, and I don't have to depend on a sale to buy groceries.  In short, I have the best of both worlds. I have tried to supply a lot of helpful information on this web site, either free, or cheap enough that anyone can afford to be informed, have a good laugh, or a good cry.

I am especially proud of the story on Alzheimer's, as it is a factual account.  I wrote this while attending college and it was accepted for an anthology series on Alzheimer's disease.  However, in the "olden days", computers were hooked up to a main frame, which stored your data.  The main frame crashed and my story went to never, never land.  By the time I rewrote it from notes; I missed the deadline by two days.

Because of all the new information on Alzheimer's disease, the story had to be rewritten and up dated.  I only wish all this information had been available when my mother-in-law was suffering.
