  • I had an Austin Healey like the one shone here back in the early 70s. The top leaked when it rained but it was sure fun to drive. Maybe you'll see a car you used to own or want in this video of autos from a vintage auto auction in Raleigh.
  • This video of Fort Macon is laced with black and white images from the past depicting scenes of normal historic activities. The video is set to the music of Jay Conner, " I Must Be Dreaming".

His paintings had won him awards in Norfolk, Va, Raleigh and Charlotte NC, Atlanta Ga, Chattanooga Tenn and Riverside, Los Angeles and San Diego Ca.This video is a slide show of paintings and computer graphics done by Doug Gilchrist between 1968 and 1992. The music is "Suspended In Time" by Jay Conner.
  • By 1981, an engineer from Dearborn Michigan had morphed into a full fledged privateer with Beaufort North Carolina as his home port. This story by Ben Stone with my video from that year is about how that happened. Captain Horatio Sinbad is his name now and he is STILL up to his old tricks.

  • This is all about the "Shag". This piece, from the Beach Music Program I produced for broadcast in 1981, has footage from the Beach Music Festival and a shag contest in Wilmington. Can you do the "Shag"?
  • This is a trip to Grandfather Mountain. I didn't make the treck up to the summit but if you are into hiking, there are trails for you to do so. I did cross the mile high foot bridge and make my way up to the rock outcropping where the view is 270 degrees around the Grandfather Mountain summit. It makes for a great visit but be sure to take your camera or smart phone.

  • Ken Hamilton was a dear friend of mine. He was a talented and creative genius. His favorite activity was sky diving. He loved to sky dive into popular events like the "Sandbar Party" that was an anual event on the sandbars at the southern foot of the Atlantic Beach bridge. In 1981 he talked me into going to West Virginia to videotape he and and a friend sky diving onto the New River Gorge Bridge, repacking their chutes and jumping off the bridge. This piece from the Stones Throw series is an interview with Ken Hamilton and the footage from West Virginia.
