Well, thank you very much for the nice comment.

Thank you for the nice comment.

@@jannag8115 around 9:45 Monday morning.

Thank you, as always.

ok.

Thank you. I truly appreciate that. We had a great time.

Oh, I thought they were complaining about my presence : ) Thanks for your comment, as always.

@@robertcunningham1944 LOL!! No! You and David have most excellent bird vibes!! 🌟🪺🌟

Oh, yeah? Tell that to the sparrow who crapped on my nose while I was waiting for the school bus in fifth grade. : )

That it certainly is. Thanks for your comment, as always. Best regards.

Thank you very much for your compliments about my camera work. Like you, I had wanted to see this play for years, in fact, almost 50 years in my case, but it never worked out for me, that is, until this year. I was very glad to be able to attend, along with some of my friends. With 20 acres, you don't sound poor to me. While you may not have a lot of cash, you're definitely rich when it comes to living independently, and off the grid. Take care, I hope you get the chance to see it someday.

Thank you very much for your comment. According to Google, the nearest Tractor Supply store is 23 miles away, so that is way too far for me to travel. They will have to get by with sunflower chips. Have a great day.

Thank you. As always.

No. Where did you hear about it? It is not listed on CicLAvia's website, as all of their events are in L.A. County. I'm interested, tell me more.

I just checked it out. There are only 1.66 miles of open streets. That's pretty pathetic. Anyway, thanks for the info.

Thank you. I'm very glad you liked it.

You're welcome 😊

Thank you .

Thanks for the nice comment. Of course, I have no idea if they're the same ducks, but they've seem to have found a temporary home, away from the water. Take care.

You're absolutely correct. Even though I shot the video, I almost missed him when watching the playback. .

Thanks for the comment. Now, bring on the Bluebirds! LOL.

Please consider making a donation to KPFK in memory of Roy, if you are able. Thank you.

Perhaps, you're correct, but birds & other wildlife drink from here, too, and I don't want to alter their consumption. In any event, thanks for the suggestion.

😎, I'm just happy the bees have water too 😊 Need more bees to pollinate

Thank you for the very kind words, but in reality, you have been the impetus for reinvigorating the club and taking it to the next level - Ad Astra.

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm very glad you liked it.

water. It is a brand new tray. It never had any paint in it.

Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Are you going to make a film about Roy? I hope so.

Yes. I first discovered KPFK during the early 70s and Alan Watts was on that very first broadcast I ever heard. If you are able, please consider making a donation to KPFK in Roy's name. Thanks.

@@robertcunningham1944 I think we served together as volunteers for Roy's show at least once. I think I remember you. I could be wrong though. In any case, if I get Diane's approval I'd like to interview you for a documentary film I'd like to make about Roy's time at Pacifica and KPFK in particular. Once I know her decision I'll be in touch to let you know if the documentary film called "Something's Happening: The Roy of Hollywood Story" will be happening or not. Thank you for your kindness and generosity to KPFK and especially to Roy's program. Be well, brother.

@@robertcunningham1944 I think Seth is the man who should do the documentary. I replied to him and am looking forward to this project with him and hopefully you! ❤

Dearest Johnny, This is Diane, Roy's wife. Thank you for commenting. You made me laugh and cry! Much love

@@ladydi6648 Hi Diane, there's many, many, many more out there who feel the same as me. He was a rare and beautiful bird. I'm truly sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing him with us all those years. Much love back.

Hi Diane, I am very happy to hear that Nita's show raised so much money in Roy's memory today.

Dearest Diane, may peace be with you, beautiful soul. Thank you for your comment. I was hoping to find a way of communicating with you. I've been away and just tuned in tonight at midnight for spirituality night and Alan Watts only to learn of Roy's passing. From my perspective, Roy was the very heart of KPFK in and I don't know how they'll get along without him. It's the end of an era. I don't know if you remember me or not, but several years ago while volunteering at KPFK during a fund drive I had the chance to tell Roy in person that I wouldn't be the man I am today without my listening to the shows he played on Something's Happening. This is a simple fact. I would not be the mature, responsible man I am today without listening to all the helpful shows Roy played from people like Alan Watts, J. Krishnamurti, Jack Gariss and Pema Chodron, to name jst a few. I profoundly loved Roy like a father and will miss him and his on air presence terribly, like so many others who listened to his show. Roy was the one who inspired me to run for the KPFK Board of Directors about 10 years ago too. I'm an introvert so this took a lot of courage on my part to stand up and do public speaking. Yet I did it to make Roy proud of me and to do my best to be of service to KPFK. I'm an indie filmmaker now and I was hoping to do a documentary film about Roy to celebrate his 50 years on the air. I'm wondering if you would be willing to help me to create this using photos and by interviewing you and others at the station like Alan Minsky and anyone else who might be willing to talk about Roy and their experiences with him. This would be a way offering a lasting audio-visual record for all his fans to appreciate and for people in the future to understand the enormous depth of his contribution and dedication to KPFK. It would leave behind a lasting record on film so people will never forget the crucial role he played in holding the station together and helping so many people with his wonderfully inspired, thought provoking and deeply introspective programming. I was a volunteer as Nita Vallens call screener for a year or so about a decade ago when I was in film school and know how Roy helped Nita get her position at KPFK and how close they were. I hope to interview her as well, of course for the film. Please let me know if I could work with you to get some photographs to use in the documentary as well as any video or film footage you may have which could be incorporated into this feature film documentary, which I plan to make anywhere from 90 min to 2 hrs long. I also hope to Interview Gary Null and others whose shows he played regularly too. I hope I will have your cooperation and blessing in this endeavor, or I simply won't make it. Please know that it's my intention to create a documentary film that is deeply reverent and respectful and you can be the first one to watch it when it's completed. Anything you may not care for will be edited out, and anything you want to be added in, we will absolutely do so. Indeed, I think it would be appropriate for you to be the executive producer on this film and receive this credit on screen as well as me interviewing you for the film. We could cooperate together on it. It will cost you nothing though. I'm not looking for money from you to make this film it will come out of my own pocket and I will give my time to it freely and passionately, if you will agree to my creating this lasting record of Roy's time at Pacifica Radio. Any proceeds coming from this film would go directly to you as well for your retirement. I want nothing financially from the creation of this. I only wish to be of service in creating something truly memorable about Roy for you, myself and for all who loved Roy. I've also worked with Buzz at past KPFK events and worked his camera for him, so I also hope to enlist his cooperation with this endeavor too, by the way. Thank you for your kind consideration in tis matter. I am saying a prayer for you and your peace of mind. If there is anything I can do for you please get in touch and let me know how I may be of service. I'm completely at your disposal. I loved Roy a great deal, but I'm sure what I felt for him is nothing compared to you and how close the two of you were. You have my deepest condolences. God bless you, sweet Lady Di.. I hpe to hear back from you here in this comment soon. Be well. -Seth 🙏

@@robertcunningham1944 hi Robert, I don't have your email but wanted to thank you for all you have done for KPFK and Roy and myself over the years and after his passing. Yesterday was 6 months and it hardly seems possible. I am finding my way on the journey alone, but all the love expressed by our Somethngs Happening family has carried me through. ❤

@@sethflix So, Seth. Have you decided to do a documentary on Roy Tuckman? I hope so, because he surely deserves to be recognized for his accomplishments over the decades. Please follow through, won't you? Thank you.

In that case, would you please consider making a donation to honor Roy? Thank you.

This is Diane, thanks Judith, he loved you so much (as do I) ❤

@@ladydi6648 He was a pivotal influence in my life and I send you my love too. xox

Hi Judith. You are one of the people Roy turned me on to. I own several of your books and audio books. As well as some online learning programs I got from you as a thank you gift for donating to KPFK. If I get Diane's approval to create a documentary film about Roy's career with Pacifica Radio and KPFK, I'd like to interview you and record some of your memories about him. I'll be in touch once I hear back from Diane. I hope and pray you will be open to this, just as I hope and pray Diane will be open to cooperating with me on this and serving as executive producer on this film. Thank you for all you do and are. You have been an immense blessing to me in my spiritual growth and ability to survive and conquer the effects energy vampires and such much more effectively gracefully. May peace be with you and us all. -Seth 🙏

Roy introduced me to your works and you helped me understand myself so much better as an intuitive empath, Judith. Thank you for all you do and are.@@JudithOrloffMD

This is Diane, thank you Ian it means so much to me. You, his listeners were his joy in life and he wanted to do the best night show for you. ❤

I first heard Roy's puckish pixie hippie smile on my return from years in Paris in 1977 when I worked a night job here solo. He has edified and re-calibrated most of my perspectves for nigh a half century since with his unflagging "dynamite radio for night people." I first heard him in my green twenties, and he bade us "adieu" now just a week after I turned 71. Wow, that's a span, and incredible radio years and years since. Revelations unending, on the air, all of the in between. But now gone, yet he shines on and on and always will! Especially in our hearts.❤❤❤ Requiescat In Pacem Aeternam Roy

Circa 1978 I was listening to the late night Jim Ladd show on KLOS…but by happenstance I started channel surfing and got stuck on KPFK and Roy playing old time radio…I stuck around for years Learned from Alan Watts, Krishnamurti, even Jack Garris and Dave Emory…I have a tape I made of Roy interviewing actor DICK YORK about his radio days, etc…just magical Will miss Roy and his gentle way and wise, elucidating programming…thanks!

Yes they are!

Are you the bike rider?

@@robertcunningham1944 Hi Robert, it's me from the 1000 Mile Club. I have an old bike that has been hanging in my carport and I'm thinking of getting it functioning again. Do you have a good recommendation for a bike repair place?

@@jannag8115 I take mine to Rock & Road on La Paz between Home Depot and Sprouts. They do ok by me, but I'm not familiar with other places.

@@jannag8115 Here is the link for the ride around Laguna Niguel Lake. It is in 4K, so watch it at the highest resolution. th-cam.com/video/AERGvQ541tg/w-d-xo.html Also, Pure Bicycles on Muirlands, in Lake Forest, is pretty decent. Have a great day.

@@robertcunningham1944 Great! Thanks!!

I have seen Cooper's Hawks in my area catch two birds from my feeder at two different times (a few years apart), and I even have close up photo on one in my community folder of my "other" channel, which is "Shudderbug," but I didn't notice the difference until you mentioned it. I had never heard of the Red Shouldered Hawk until you mentioned it, so clearly you are correct, so I thank you for pointing out the difference.

Well, I thank you for your comment and I agree with you, but I certainly don't think it is going to happen. If this bridge were closed to traffic, then the people using 6th Street would have to find another route into or out of the city, making the traffic that much worse for other roads. All in all, though, it was an amazing day, as most CicLAvia's are, but this bridge crossing made it even more so.

@@robertcunningham1944 A big reason why traffic is so bad is people don't have safe alternatives. If there was an extensive bike network and dedicated bus lanes everywhere, there would be a lot less car traffic. CicLAvia just shows how much pent up demand there is for safe car-free streets. The one time you take cars out, the bridge has a higher throughput of people than it's ever had.

@@mariusfacktor3597 I don't disagree with anything you say, but trying to get funding for bridges, solely for bicycles and pedestrians will be extremely difficult.

@@robertcunningham1944 This bridge is already built. $500 million for another redundant car bridge from Boyle Heights to DTLA. One block over, on 7th street there is another 4 lane car bridge. Two blocks in the other direction there is yet another 4 lane car bridge, on 4th street. We need to stop kidding ourselves that more car lanes will solve traffic. The reason traffic is so bad is because everything we build is for cars. Adding four more car lanes just increases car traffic through induced demand. Our city spends tens of billions of dollars each year expanding freeways on the false premise that this will solve traffic. Every year we've found out that it does the opposite. I understand I'm preaching to the choir here and you're just acknowledging there is not enough support to make positive change. I agree and it's a shame because meaningful investments in alternative forms of transit would cost less than expanding car infrastructure and do more to actually decrease traffic. So there is literally no reason for others to not support it.

@@mariusfacktor3597 The only times I come to L.A. County anymore is either for CicLAvia or L.A. Times Festival of Books. From my home to Irvine Metrolink Station is only five miles. and so far, this year, I have ridden my 21-speed mountain bike (not an E-bike) over 2,400 miles and I'm 78 years old. Be that as it may, while I appreciate your comments and I know they are sincere, you are right. You ARE preaching to the choir, so perhaps, it might be better if you channel that energy somewhere else, because you've already convinced me. As Gandhi said, "be the change you want to see in the world." Have a great life, but fight for the causes you believe in.
