Strong Ale Works 2018
A short video about Strong Ale Works Craft Brewery in QIngdao, China.
Qingdao Allstars - 爱青岛 (English and Chinese Song about Qingdao, China / Tsingtao )
We wrote a song about the local life, food, drinks, language, and culture in Qingdao, China. We thought it would be fun to make a music video out of it. One day while we were filming video of the song ( designed to showcase a lot of the great locations, people, and culture of Qingdao, China that we love) it was raining, so we all went inside and had lunch and some drinks to get out of the rain and to keep the equipment safe. While we were inside, we decided to try to make the best of the rainy day and filmed this video for fun. Well, there was a miscommunication and this video was accidentally released online and to our surprise received 100,000 views in 5 hours. A lot of friends and family outside of China have asked about it, so here it is... We hope you like it. If you do, please let us know and help us share it , like it, and subscribe for more to come. Cheers!

老外们用青岛话唱歌,这调调,完全停不下来呀！
上传时间：2015-8-4 14:2 标签：沙洲 青岛allstar
一群在青岛生活的“老外们”聚集到一起，根据他们在青岛的所见所闻编写了一首歌。“哈啤酒，吃蛤（ga）蜊（la）”这才是全世界对青岛的印象。 歌曲内除了来自全球各地的老外们之外，还邀请到了青岛著名说唱音乐人MC沙洲。另外，90后新锐导演赵俊杰为这部作品拍摄了MTV。视频在发布之后迅速风靡青岛人的微信朋友圈，老外们蹩脚的青岛话以及诸如“烤肉（you）、个来、恶银、白叨叨了”等词汇让土生土长的青岛人笑掉大牙。
Here are the LYRICS:
Everybody singing together
What do we say?
青岛啤酒好喝
咱们干杯
哈啤酒
吃蛤蜊
爱青岛
我们一起玩
come on every one
lets drink some fun
party all night
cheering . the morning sun
spring skipping alright
waiting for the summer
fell back to sleep
cuz the winter is a bummer
ya need to be reminded
that your city is beautiful?
. walk slow,
watch her sunsets grow
lighting up the clouds like a rubies glow
drink your fill don't spill your drink doh
请你开你的口
举起酒杯
先听李清say
Go with the flow
时间飞
废话甭说任何的时候
醉月如梭
像水流，no不是，像啤酒
哥们儿和朋友
饮一杯酒
不知不觉时间就被偷
喝多了
喝high了
看这个小妹儿穿得那么fly的
哦surprise了
中美关系好起来啦
希望青啤的新产品是苹果cider（赛达？）
小哥小心不要喝得那么快嘛
Everybody singing together
What do we say?
青岛啤酒好喝
咱们干杯
哈啤酒
吃蛤蜊
爱青岛
我们一起玩
我们来自青岛
我们热爱青岛
我们从来不在大街上尿尿
这是蛤蜊的调 这是小村庄的调
用我四方的口音唱个吆吆切可闹 我 从来没去过 new york 我就去过胜利桥 跟我伙计们子吃个烧烤 我们看上去很屌 其实很表 哈大了酒就回家睡觉
我第一次到青岛(was love at first sight)
这个地方这么好
有山有海
(She be my cup of tea, I mean...)
它就是我的菜
还有青岛的扎啤就是我的最爱
外国的老巴子
听我嘻哈说一下
我想教你们
一点青岛话
牡蛎是海蛎子
蛤蜊是gala
烤肉是烤you
还有喝是哈
有蓝天碧海 红瓦和绿树
有喝的有吃的还有看的cool
你白恶银了你快白叨叨了
没见过老外说青岛话
太搞笑了
(I'm almost all out, but I got a couple more words-
They're only for the cool kids, and not for the nerds)
叫哥们小哥，叫姐们小嫚
(And) 过来是个来 (let's drink a BERR)

Making a Guitar | Handcrafted Woodworking | Où se trouve: Greenfield Guitars
Making Acoustic Steel-string Guitars

Meet Michael Greenfield, a musician who began tuning, repairing, restoring, and making guitars in the 70s and since then has become a seasoned luthier of bespoke guitars. Having experience with vintage and antique guitar repair and restoration, he brings a unique insight to his craft, creating personalized musical instruments and functional works of art for artists, collectors and those who deserve the very best.
His workshop is based in Montreal, where we visited over a period of 5 months, filming as he and his apprentice, Julien, transformed slices of spruce, ebony, mahogany, and other tree species into glistening guitars. It was all of our collective vision to present the process in the most candid, down-to-earth fashion, so in this hour-long documentary you will see all the glue, smudges, shavings, dust, and callouses. His guitars feature Florentine cutaways with spalted beech rosettes, violin-style body purflings and simple decorative purflings along edges, Laskin style arm rests and rib rests, amongst other features.
This documentary follows several different steel-string guitars from beginning to finish. As Michael puts it, the guitar still thinks it’s a tree until it receives its first set of strings and that is when the instrument is born. After many months of work, the magical moment when we hear a guitar’s first notes is like hearing a child’s first words.

BUDDHIST STORIES: THE STARVING TIGRESS - Aug 23,2015
International Gathering with Supreme Master Ching Hai - Europe, Aug 23,2015
The Great Gildersleeve: Leroy Smokes a Cigar / Canary Won't Sing / Cousin Octavia Visits
The Great Gildersleeve (1941--1957), initially written by Leonard Lewis Levinson, was one of broadcast history's earliest spin-off programs. Built around Throckmorton Philharmonic Gildersleeve, a character who had been a staple on the classic radio situation comedy Fibber McGee and Molly, first introduced on Oct. 3, 1939, ep. #216. The Great Gildersleeve enjoyed its greatest success in the 1940s. Actor Harold Peary played the character during its transition from the parent show into the spin-off and later in a quartet of feature films released at the height of the show's popularity.
On Fibber McGee and Molly, Peary's Gildersleeve was a pompous windbag who became a consistent McGee nemesis. You're a haa-aa-aa-aard man, McGee! became a Gildersleeve catchphrase. The character was given several conflicting first names on Fibber McGee and Molly, and on one episode his middle name was revealed as Philharmonic. Gildy admits as much at the end of Gildersleeve's Diary on the Fibber McGee and Molly series (Oct. 22, 1940).
Premiering on August 31, 1941, The Great Gildersleeve moved the title character from the McGees' Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where Gildersleeve now oversaw his late brother-in-law's estate and took on the rearing of his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy Forester (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie. Curiously, while Gildersleeve had occasionally spoken of his (never-present) wife in some Fibber episodes, in his own series the character was a confirmed bachelor.
In a striking forerunner to such later television hits as Bachelor Father and Family Affair, both of which are centered on well-to-do uncles taking in their deceased siblings' children, Gildersleeve was a bachelor raising two children while, at first, administering a girdle manufacturing company (If you want a better corset, of course, it's a Gildersleeve) and then for the bulk of the show's run, serving as Summerfield's water commissioner, between time with the ladies and nights with the boys. The Great Gildersleeve may have been the first broadcast show to be centered on a single parent balancing child-rearing, work, and a social life, done with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve's now slightly understated pomposity.
Many of the original episodes were co-written by John Whedon, father of Tom Whedon (who wrote The Golden Girls), and grandfather of Deadwood scripter Zack Whedon and Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog).
The key to the show was Peary, whose booming voice and facility with moans, groans, laughs, shudders and inflection was as close to body language and facial suggestion as a voice could get. Peary was so effective, and Gildersleeve became so familiar a character, that he was referenced and satirized periodically in other comedies and in a few cartoons.
