Imagination. Innovation. Incredible power of social media.
A 9-year-old boy in Los Angeles with a big dream and tons of creativity spends his summer building an arcade out of leftover cardboard, hoping customers to his dad’s auto parts shop will stop and play.
But in this day of online shopping, his dad’s customers shop by mouse click, not by foot.

That customer, Nirvan Mullick, dreams another big dream, and the rest of the story is how videos go viral.
Watch.
Postscript: More than $100,000 has been donated to a trust fund for Caine’s college education. Imagine the technological wizardry to come from this boy’s imagination.

Lisa and I became fans of Frank Wildhorn’s music, after seeing his “Jekyll and Hyde.” His music came to us then, and in the weeks to follow we camped on YouTube, iTunes, and other music sites to discover his music expressed through Linda Eder’s incredible voice.
(Yes, that Linda Eder, of Star Search fame.) “Once Upon a Dream” and “Someone Like You” from Jekyll are incredible, but God lights interesting paths for us to take, and so today guided our path…and yours…to “If I Had My Way.”
Written by Frank Wildhorn, slated for lyrics by Jack Murphy, then credited to Nan Knighton, this song is art following 9/11. A video was posted to YouTube of her first vocal performance of “If I Had My Way” but was later taken down.
