When I was a kid, my Papaw use to try to get me to sit on his knee to tell me tales and share some wisdom. I did not have time. I was a young man on the go and today, having plenty of time to soak in wisdom, papaw is no longer with us.
So I am creating a new documentary called Papaw's Knee. I am interviewing folks at retirement homes, down the street and, well, in my living room, who have been there, done that and love nothing more than to talk to people who listen. I am finding we all live very paralell lives, plus or minus a few details and would like to branch out even further. If you have a mom, dad grandma, grandpa, neighbor or friend with years and experiences, please sit them down, throw a camcorder on a tripod or book shelf and ask em to tell you some of their favorite life's stories. I think this will add to what I am trying to create as most of the folks I have spoken with would rather tell loved ones all about than a stranger with a big camera. I want the laughs, the tears, and the surprises as they recall things not thought about in decades.
If a shining star surficed in your mind or heart as you read this, please sit em down and talk to em, even if you don't record it. If ya do record it, PM me and I'll let ya know where to send the tape. I will send it right back to you and you and your wisdom-giver will be in the credits. I will be pitching this documentary to the Biography Channel.
Many thanks. Listen well.
