The three R's. Mathematics-science-history-literature: why and how they should be taught. Teaching the child values.

The Peikoff-Kelley Debate
A summary of the exchange of writings that have come to be known as "The Peikoff-Kelley Debate". Some consider the "debate" to have created a "schism" within Objectivism though it is arguably more accurate to say that it was a clarification of what does, and what does not, constitute Objectivism.
NOTE: This is a re-release of the video of the same name. The original release mis-spelled "Kelley" as "Kelly" in places, and contained an edit on which the audio faded-out prematurely. This is the same video, with the exception of correcting those errors. The original has been left available, so that hits and comments can be viewed. It has been renamed "[OLD VERSION] The Peikoff-Kelley Debate".

Richard Peikoff `Slide Guitar`Staples Center, L.A.`CA.
Commemorating 911 | Patriotic Medley
Because of the events of September 11, 2001, I was moved to play the National Anthem on a daily basis for about 4-5 months. It was my way of healing from the shock of it all. I began arranging "America The Beautiful" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee" as well. "The Star Spangled Banner" features slide guitar. The medley is played solo in CGCFGC tuning.
100 copies were sent to the government & the private sector: US Senators, the FDNY, both mayors of NY at the time [Rudy Giuliani & Michael Bloomberg], NPR, the Lakers, the Dodgers and Pacifica Radio. I received some beautiful letters back in response. This was never meant for any commercial gain.
I had the honor of sharing the National Anthem at a Lakers/Pistons game. It was quite an experience for me to play this slide guitar arrangement, center court, at the Staples Center here in Los Angeles. There were roughly 17,000 people on hand. It was very moving. I was pretty nervous as that was a first for me.
The Staples Center was fully lit when I walked out on the floor. Both teams were lined up on the sidelines at their respective goals. As I sat down on the high stool provided for me the house lights went black, & a very bright spot was thrown on me [nobody told me about that part]. The only people on the floor for the next 2 minutes were me & the cameraman squatting to my left, with a lens the size of a dinner plate!
All that aside, I was able to relax, focus on the piece, & share the arrangement, which until that moment, had only been heard by a limited audience. It was an honor. The cameraman's feed was going to the huge Jumbo Vision screens above my head. I played the piece passionately & with much love & devotion. It was a blessing to be able to do so. The crowd was drop dead silent.
As I left the court to a very warm ovation, Glen Frey of the Eagles, who was sitting courtside next to Magic, made a point of stopping me to acknowledge the performance. I felt a sense of completion & was grateful to have been able to share the piece with so many people.
I invite you to download the medley from my free music page (link).
Peace
