JayBeacham.com-A Voice as an Instrument

A friend posted on fb that he thought the posting of political items was negative and
shouldn’t prevade our thoughts.
Of course, he brought religion in to prove his case.
We all do that to prove our point.
Saying that it is raining or that one is hungry, tired, jobless, homeless, moneyless,
or that some policial issue should be attended to is the statement of fact.
Negative maybe but fact none the less.
Should we ignore all facts not to our liking?

Consider this scripture?

10 Which dark and blackening deeds are enough to make hell itself shudder, and to stand aghast and pale, and the hands of the very devil to tremble and palsy.

11 And also it is an imperative duty that we owe to all the rising generation, and to all the pure in heart—

12 For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it—

13 Therefore, that we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of darkness, wherein we know them; and they are truly manifest from heaven—

14 These should then be attended to with great earnestness.

15 Let no man count them as small things; for there is much which lieth in futurity, pertaining to the saints, which depends upon these things.
– Doctrine and Covenants 123:10 -15

Enough said.

Fun, Fireworks, Folks from all over the world

(2013 July 4th)
Two Summers ago Lincoln’s Ghost attended the 4th of July celebrations held at Vernon Worthen Park in St. George, Utah.
Samantha Thomas, reporter for St. George TV News interviewed him about the visitors he’d met that day.
Besides fun, fireworks, folks from all over the world the day was planned to honor veterans of military.
Of course there was singing, dancing, water fun, and contests, and games.
And no one seemed to mind the heat.

Give Me A Chance At Bat

I just watched an instructional video.

Are You Batting Lead-Off or Clean-Up?
by Bill DeWees
607 views
https://youtu.be/qFjMb5plr3o
He’s a voice guy and compares baseball lead off/cleanup hitters to the voice over business of today.
He says it’s better to consistently get on base than to be the guy to get the home runs.
Meaning to work consistently is better than to wait for the big fancy voice jobs.

Well I’d just like to get a chance to bat.

My problem may have started when I first went to Little League tryouts with a boy who’d played before.
There was a team in the field and the prospects got a chance at bat while the coaches looked them over.
Before I could get to bat someone said that I was to go with the team made up of the left over boys.
I protested and someone said,
“Ah let the kid hit.”
I swung at the first ball and ran to second base safe.
Then we went off in the back of a pickup to look for a field to practice in.
We didn’t find one that morning.
By the next week, my family’s farm operations took precedence to ball games and my Little League career
ended before it had begun.
During the next few years, besides work and school and scouts, I practiced ball whenever the chance afforded itself.
I watched movies about baseball greats. The Deans, Jackie Robinson, etc.
I waited for High School sports.
the following poem tells about all of that.
To Pitch The Ball ©
When young, I thought it fun to throw a little baseball,
My dream to be a Dizzy or a Daffy dean, did enthrall.
All times of day, I’d throw and catch by myself.
I’d throw and catch with others to;
In school yard or down in the street
Most days with others I would meet.
Though seldom would I get to pitch that ball.
Then Little League came: “Oh let the kid bat.”
But never did I get to throw from mound to catcher’s mitt.
To high school then and gym,
Maybe I’d get to show
How good, how fast, how accurate I could throw.
I hurt my knee and to a specialist had to go.
He said that running would be put
That swim exercise and leg weight lifting would be in.
The years have so very fast gone past,
And though balls now fly to mitt-to sky
They do not on me at all rely.
(Author’s note: There is a professional baseball pitcher named Jay Beacham but it isn’t me.)
(Poetry anthology on Kindle “Under Red Cliffs” @ https://lnkd.in/e582xnM )
(Also available in paper back @ http://jaybeacham.com/products-page-2/

Well so it has been for me in the voice over world of today.
I’d just like to get a chance to get to bat or pitch. 
I won’t do immoral or illicit projects.
And it is always good to believe in something before promoting it.
That lends the aspect of truth to what the Voice Talent is saying.
But that said, I just want a chance to play.

Many people tell me that they don’t want their roof tile fixed because a tile just slipped.

Should you replaced a broken tile on your roof?

Definitely!

The tile protects the felt.

The felt keeps the water out.

Tile don’t just slip because each tile is nailed and/or hung on a 1″ x 2″ wood strip.

Broken tile slide and let water, debris, birds into the space and then sun and water

and birds destroy the felt,  then water  gets in to the insulation, & then ceiling

and wall board.

This is a video case in point:

Which is cheaper regular preventative maintenance or repairs when troubles arise?

I used to do roof maintenance for a local business.
Periodically I’d repair the flat roofs.
The owner wanted a regular schedule, every third month, their two flat roofs being checked and any areas that were suspect being repaired.
This to prevent the ceiling tile and sheetrock and insulation from being damaged.
He retired and one of his sons took over the business.
This son wanted to be efficient and run the business economically.
Each time I came to check the roofs, he wanted to approve every little repair that I deemed necessary.
That is okay but then he demanded to know how long each job took wanting to be cost efficient I’m sure.
Surely his minimum wage employees could do what I was doing and do it so much cheaper.
So he decided that I charged too much and that he’d not call on me in the future.
We saw each other in a store parking lot on Tuesday this week.
I inquired about the roofs.
They’d had a leak this past week during the rain showers that occurred.
I asked where and he told me that it was just next to an area I’d build up and had repaired the last time I was there.
Also he told me that in March a crack had developed over the office and some ceiling had fallen down.
My last statement date was July 18, 2014. I’d charged $127.00 for my time on the roof ($100 labor / $27.00 materials).
The intervening time was 7 months with no check ups.
Replacing the ceiling was cheaper.
Right?
As soon as he told me of his woes I thought, “an ounce of prevention” and in this case it would have been worth more than twenty pounds of cure. But I didn’t say so, I  just commiserated with his plight.
So I ask you again.
Which is cheaper? Prevention or cure?
