I'm Really Mad
How stupid I was to sign up with Quechup. I apologise to anyone that got suckered in because of my mistake. It apparently read my address book and my email and stole my passwords as well. Someone should go to jail for this. I hope they get shut down, fined and get jail time. It's a shame they were so stupid. GRRRRRRRRRR

Daniel Lanois new movie trailer. Yes, Shawn appears in the movie but not in the trailer. However, you can hear him playing bass. December, 2006
Daniel Lanois - The Maker
This video was shot in Shreveport, LA in December of 2006. My son, Shawn Stroope is on bass. The musicians are Daniel Lanois, Brain and Brady Blade, Buddy Miller and Shawn Stroope. It was a great concert.

Where Is Ricky Lips, Jr. ?
June 11th, I spoke to Ricky Lips, Jr. at his home in South Louisiana. He's doing well and getting on with his life. He finished high school and is working but soon will be leaving home to start his new life and career. Please, go to my podcast to find out more. The web address is http://zip.podshow.com .
Right after interviewing Ricky I became ill. I had some mean virus that causes stomach cramps and nausea. Not a lot of fun. It lasted about a week and now I'm better but not quite out of the woods. At least I can eat something now besides popcicles and jello
Until next time, Ron

New 2007 Ricky Lips, Jr. Update
June 10, 2007
I was suppose to have an interview with Ricky Lip, Jr. tonight but due to technical problems the interview has been postponed until another night this week. I did speak with Ricky breifly and he told about some of his plans for the future. I'll be sharing that with you and also asking about his life over the past year. I'm sure this will be interesting so please watch for the interview. I hope to have it out by this coming weekend.
I mentioned the Tavis Smiley PBS program "Right to Return: New Home Movies from the 9th Ward" on my last podcast. I now have the dates of the re-play of this 5 night series about the plight of those who have returned to New Orleans to rebuild in the 9th Ward. Please check your local listings for the time. The series re-airs Monday, July 16th - Friday, July 20. This is a documentary by award winning producer Jonathan Demme and made on home movie equipment. Very interesting and moving. You'll see the real heart of the 9th Ward community.
I sent Tavis Smiley a link to my Ricky Lips interview. If you feel it was a moving story, please go to pbs.org, and send him an email as well. It seems everyone wants to talk about what should be done but no one is actually doing anything. I hope my interview with Ricky will open new doors for the people of South Louisiana as well as Mississippi and Florida.
I'm also working on the idea of releasing my photos and video of my tour of the city back in March of 2006. Not much has changed so I'm told. I need to get permisson to air the audio. If that's not possible I'll just add my photos and mix them with the video with commentary and music. Perhaps clips from some of the Katrina interviews that I've not released as well. I have a friend that I'm considering asking to help me edit it into a professional documentary. I've not made up my mind yet because I know it's a lot of work for free.
Wow, I'm getting into this blogging stuff. I hope to start listing my blog on several sites to generate more interest in the podcast. Got any thoughts or ideas? Please pass them on to me. My email, zipcast@gmail.com

I forgot Blogger
I forgot about Blogger. It was last January when I last posted anything. OOPS!
May 23, 2007, my birthday. Today I'm 57. A classic car year, 1957. Wow, I was only 7 years old, 50 years ago. I had a birthday party and I have some pictures to prove it, somewhere. I do remember it well. Mosby Street, Eldorado, AR. My friends from the neighborhood were there. John & Eddie Hopkins, Mike and Allen Morgan, Butch, MaryBeth, Sam ( My baby brother ) and a few strays who dropped by uninvited to get some cake. ha!
Had a great day today. Shawn, my 33 year old son dropped by and gave me the new Wilco CD and DVD as a gift. Chris my youngest called me, a co-worker called, Sam called (see above), Mom called and of course, my wife told me "Happy Birthday" .....wake up. ha! She woke me up to say, " I'm leaving, happy birthday"....No...she was going to work. ha!
That's about it. See you at the next blog..in a few>>>>>>>>>>>>>> weeks, months, or years.
