Shamanism, the world's oldest spiritual path, is founded on the ideals of centering, personal responsibility, and loving respect for nature. Much like being a true artist or a genuine medical doctor, being shaman is an art.

James Whitmore

Years ago, I was fortunate to interview one of the great actors of post WWII - James Whitmore. who served as a Marine in the war and quickly was recognized on Broadway in Command Decision playing Sergeant. He ended up not playing the role in the movie version(Van Johnson did), but scored big in Battleground playing a soldier. Think of him as Tom Sizemore on steroids when it comes to acting similar roles. He was the Everyman American - a bit gruff on the outside with a core of goodness. Some of u… Continue

George "Gabby" Hays

"Dadgumit," Gabby Hays basically invented the cowboy sidekick as an icon in Westerns. He rode with Hopalong Cassidy and , most famously, with Roy Rogers - among others. Yet, he hailed from New York State and acting in movies was a second career for him. Hays had been extraordinarily successful as a vaudvillian and retired to Long Island in 1928. Unfortunately, he lost his fortune in the Crash of 1929. His wife urged him to go to California and try getting into movies. It was a fateful move as he… Continue
