From Homeless to Hopeful, Billy Ray Thomas' Announces his First 2008 Piano Concert...
LIVE IN LOVELY DOWNTOWN EVANSTON
Shortly (in less than a week), on the Evening of July 26, 2008 at 7:30 PM, Reverend Billy Ray Thomas will be performing a Benefit Piano Recital whose Proceeds will be earmarked to support his on-going activities of The Minister's Mission, a Ministry for Evanston, Illinois' Homeless. This Date will mark his First Event in over a year and is not to be missed.
The First United Methodist Church of Evanston serves as the Host of "The Rev's" (as he is known by his Friends and Co-Workers) ticketed Event.
Location: The Great Hall - 516 Church Street in Evanston, IL
(Evanston is the City directly north of Chicago, IL, home of Northwestern University).
Price: $20 in Advance; $25 at the Door
Reverend Thomas is a self-taught Pianist and Composer who will debut several new Medleys.
ABOUT BILLY RAY: Reverend Billy was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1958 and now resides in Evanston, IL, happily married. Throughout the years, he has received critical acclaim in The Evanston Review, Northwestern Daily & Evanston Beacon for both his humanitarian work in the community and his musical talents. The Evanston Community Media Center produced 2 exquisite and enlightening Documentaries that protrayed Billy Ray's Rise "From the Garbage Can to the Grand Piano." Today, as he has been doing for the last decade, 'The Rev' actively ministers to Folks without homes, jobs and those mentally & drug-addicted, using Evanston, IL as his homebase. You can find him hard at work in Church Soup Kitchens, Clothing Distribution Arenas, Warming & Cooling Centers and he sets up Haircut Appointments (knowing that raising one's self-esteem is as important as feeding an empty stomach and soul). An Advocate of 'Green,' The Rev is endlessly seen peddling around town which, of course, lessens his carbon footprint although his altruistic blueprint speaks for itself.
IN RETROSPECT: In another much sadder Incarnation, Reverend Billy Ray was homeless and scouring garbage cans for a morsel to eat. Then, in 1996, knowing there was a 'better way,' he began a Journey of Discovery to teach himself to play Piano. Pursuing his Studies at Northwestern University of Music and through endless work, alot of faith and believing in himself, he serves as a role model to those who are experiencing hard times. And, these days, hard times are even affecting those who never had a monetary worry. 'Moving on' is what 'The Rev' works on every day in his Spiritual and Spirited Process. You could rightfully say that Reverend Billy is Illinois' Dalai Lama. The Comparison is uncanny.
His Discography includes a Fourth CD entitled 'Newly Yvonne' in 2005.
LITERATURE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER READ:
Reverend Billy also publishes a Monthly Newsletter (in Hardcopy Format) as the Executive Director of Minister's Mission, a Ministry for The Poor with Yvonne Smith editing the Text and Copy. Topics include:
The local Soup Kitchens at Arealand Churches,
Mike, the Barber who donates his time and supplies as a Barber for The Poor,
a photo expose of where the Poor 'scavenge,'
a List of Weekly Services Reverend Billy offers;
rundowns on where he is performing
as well as a Business Card Ad Section which helps generate income for his Ministry.
A B&W Photo Section at the Close of the 8-Page Newsletter cites many moving and inspirational Quotes, many of which can pull us through our Days. A List of growing Supporting Sponsors closes out the Newsletter as well as a 'What's New' Column at the Minister's Mission. Enjoyable to read and as well as a Commentary on Progress made in this Arena, The Minister's Newsletter is a work-in-progress that is truly a Labor of Love.
YOU ARE INVITED: Mark your Calendar to attend Reverend Billy's Concert on July 26, 2008. Make it a Family Affair. For those wishing to interview and/or film him 'in action,' email Reverend Billy Ray Thomas at:

Dancing The Distance with Matt Rodewald - LIVE on July 11, 2008 - Coming to a Plaza near you!
TITLE: Getting your Groove on with Matt in The Plaza…
SubTitle: BOTS: Battle Of The Stations…
Dateline: Tuesday, July 8, 2008
Chicago isn’t just the City of Sports Teams, DDP: Deep Dish Pizza, The Blues, Tall Buildings jutting out into the Atmosphere and The Edens Expressway.
It’s a cultured Place filled with its own brand of Uniqueness that includes (of course): Music, Ethnicity, Color, Flair and Fashion. And bright and (very) early on:
Friday, July 11TH, Chicago will be a Contender for a Pre-Olympian Event – the DANCE-OFF between
Matt Rodewald & Bob Herzog
The pride of NBC-TV, Channel 5 in Chicago and Dance Aficionados everywhere, Matt will be competing (although Fans, Co-Workers, Viewers and Simon Cowell all know he has NO Competition with another Traffic Guy) from Cincinnati, Ohio (due east). That Fellow is Bob Herzog. The City doesn’t matter. He’ll be leaving his ZCR: Zip Code Region to dance his way into ‘Windy City Country’ and if the Wind goes whipping throughout The Plaza doesn’t GET ‘HIM, then some fast-shoeing definitely and evidently will since We hear that Matt will be displaying some of the swiftest Moves he’s ever done – ever. All for this meritorious Competition.
These Moves have been orchestrated by years of practice that will be a First the likes EVER seen on NBC!
Surprisingly, no big Sponsors are cited.
Surprisingly, the 2 Guys are not doing this for Child Cancer Research or another notable Charity.
Spectators wonder why…
Not only that Rumor has it that Matt may be appearing on the TV Talk Program of the Dance Queen herself (of NBC Stardom) - Miss Ellen (not Helen) DeGeneres to show-off how easy it is to MOVE and dance your Troubles and Weight away…even if you’re not reporting Traffic and Road Conditions in the 3RD largest metropolis and cosmopolitan area in the Northern Hemisphere. You have arrived when you get to this Pivotal Point. It’s definitely time to SHAKE YOUR TAIL FEATHER – whatever species you are.
HEY AMERICA & CHICAGOANS ALIKE:
Start your 4TH Weekend of The Summer of 2008 on the ‘right’ Dance Foot with MATT and the early morning perky and informative NBC News Crew of: Zoraida, Rob, Andy & Mike
in the NBC PLAZA
Between the Chicago Tribune & the Equitable Building on the East Side of Michigan Av. That’s between 435 and 401 North Michigan Avenue if you’re a number person.
DANCE-OFF Time: 5:45 AM
Set your Alarms or make hotel reservations today. Rooms are going fast!
Date: Friday, July 11, 2008. That’s less than 72 hours away!
Chances are this Competition between Matt & Bob will become a really popular YOU-TUBE Video that will be seen around The World. Betters and gamblers are predicting that the 2 Guys will become Fast Friends and then enter the Competition of DANCING WITH THE STARS, leaving 2 open spots at their respective stations!
As Matt so poignantly sums up The Event that some think is NOT a Competition at all:
“It’s all about The Art & Beauty of Dance.”
Quote of Matt:
Tuesday, July 8, 2008 – 6:19 AM CST
STICK AROUND ON FRIDAY:
Don’t Run Off Now:
The NBC Today Team is televised LIVE from 4:30 – 7 AM Monday – Friday. At 6:58 AM, DANCE CHICAGO will be on – when troupes of people (locals, suburbanites, city-dwellers and visitors or tourismos) parade into The Mall to dance themselves into The Weekend – a nice way to get into the Summertime Festivities and in the City Mood…an NBC special, of course!
LET’s GET DANCIN! It's a Dance Fever Eruption!

Don't Pick on Fat Folks. How to deal with Weight Loss in a Healthier Mindset.
DateLine: Monday, July 7, 2008
The News is always changing.
Some Tidbit from somewhere strikes us in a certain way (sometimes 'weigh') that changes our outlook on an impending social and cultural issue.
Such is the Topic of Weight Management that caught my eye this morning, while rifling through a stash of newspapers that I was sorting through.
"Water makes up 60% of your body weight" claimed the Report issued by the Albany Times Union.
Who is to argue with the dynamic WRITTEN WORD?
THE IF THEN DILEMMA:
If 60% is 60 Pounds of Water (Liquid) in a 100 pound Person...then what is defined as FAT must be changed. Logic told me this...in a 'weigh..."
WEIGHING IN. WEIGHING OUT.
Mathematically, that is:
IF a Person weighs in at 300 pounds, 180 pounds of that (or over 50% of his/her body weight) is Water; meaning 120 pounds is 'Ugly Fat and Flesh.' Obesity in other words. Obesity is not healthy. After all, the Heart is only a Muscle the size of one's fist. Being svelte is much healthier for a person and the Family that worries about him/her. Longevity and living a l-o-n-g healthy life is what's at hand here.
Do doctors and nutritionists really know what they are talking about IF they take into consideration the unrifled 60% Water Weight Factor? Or is this overlooked by masses of Skin?
IF I were on a Diet to improve my Look and shed a few pounds, I definitely would exam the "120" pounds of Ugly Fat & Flesh Factor before I'd stress myself out on what The Masses truly think of those excess Pounds. This Knowledge & PO: Psychological Outlook can serve as a Catalyst knowing the Dieter doesn't have to 'lose that much weight' and, undoubtedly, would be much happier and more consistent in his/her attempt to get in better shape. Maintenance after weight loss is where many dieters fall off the wagon. That Topic is yet another blog's worth...
After all, isn't it all about: MIND OVER MATTER?
Yes, that Tidbit from somewhere did strike me in a certain way and 'weigh' this morning that hopefully will change The Outlook for many who are attempting to tip the Scales on Obesity. It certainly did for me.

GORF: The Icon of The Green Movement. 2006-2016 is The Decade of the Frog with GORF officiating.
G O R F
The Statement
“THE FROG’s GOT LEGS ®.”
Dateline: Tuesday, July 1, 2008
WHY THE GREEN MOVEMENT NEEDS GORF:
Most (if not all) great Movements, Crusades and Campaigns (labeled as good, bad (or sometimes merely commercial) in The History of The World have progressed, triumphed succeeded and engaged the Masses’ Attention.
Many actually became Movements (with a Capital ‘M)’, physically moving a Society, Country or Kindred Group to dramatic Effects (Progress, Traction, Direction, Longevity and/or Results) by being unified under or behind a Symbol (Image, Icon, Spokesperson, Animal or Anthropomorphized Creation) that focused and unified a Theme, a Passion or a Following. Said Image/Symbol/Icon was not only recognizable, but became inseparable and universally accepted almost becoming One with The Movement or Theme itself by being so closely linked to a compelling Symbol, Object or Insignia.
A SAMPLING OF THESE SYMBOLS OR ICONS
TAKEN FROM THE FILES OF POP CULTURE INCLUDES:
- Geico’s Gecko
- Mr. Peanut
- Smokey The Bear
- Speedy, The Alka-Seltzer Tablet
- The Jolly Green Giant
But with GORF, We are not talking about ‘Smokey’ saving The Forests in America or relieving Heartburn with ‘Speedy’ or Insurance Buyers receiving a 15% Savings on their Annual Premium Payments, We are TALKING ABOUT SAVING THE WHOLE PLANET – Life itself and its Salvation:
For you.
For your Children.
For your Grandchildren.
For every single One of us.
THE GREEN MOVEMENT needs and must have a STAR ICON.
GORF is that Candidate.
RELIGIONS & NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENTS:
COMMERCIAL CAMPAIGNS AND PUBLIC SERVICE CAMPAIGNS
- Judaism and The Six Pointed Star of David;
- Christianity and The Images of The Cross & The Fish (to a lesser extent);
- Islam and The Crescent;
- Geico Insurance and the charming Gecko with the Cockney Accent;
- Fighting Forest Fires with Smokey The Bear;
- Planter’s Peanuts with Mr. Peanut;
- The Peace Movement with The Peace Symbol;
- The Jolly Green Giant with The Theme: ‘Ho Ho Ho, Green Giant;’ &
- Nazism and The Swastika
REQUIREMENT:
THE GREEN MOVEMENT
needs and must have its Symbol
(as Smokey, The Bear or The Gecko)
and
GORF is the ABSOLUTELY PERFECT CHOICE.
GORF is “THE PEOPLE’s FROG. ®”
WHY? Because GORF is:
- Acutely and highly visible.
- Charming. Lovable, even.
- Striking in Appearance.
- Unforgettable. Who can forget that Smile; those Eyes; those dangling Skinny Legs?
- Visually and logically appropriate.
BACKGROUND:
THE LOGIC BEHIND & HISTORY OF THE MAGNETIC DRAW OF THE PLUSH TOY FROG, GORF
GORF immediately stops People in their Tracks (which is so rare in an apparently cold, barren, indifferent and cruel World). GORF magically ‘breaks the Ice’ and turns Strangers into Friends once HE is spotted in the Arms of his Keeper ASK: ADRIENNE SIOUX KOOPERSMITH. T(his) magnetic Appeal then begins an enticing Eco-Conversation & Interaction that enforces the utter Importance of ‘Going Green.’ No other Person, Place, Thing, Concept or Entity possesses this innate Quality. For that Reason, ASK is employing the obvious Friendliness, Attraction and Appeal of GORF to further explore, explode and expose The Cause of THE GREEN MOVEMENT.
TO CONTINUOUSLY BUILD THE MOMENTUM:
ADRIENNE has declared:
2006-2016 as THE DECADE OF THE FROG with GORF officiating
to spread and promote his Life or Death Message both near and afar in order to SAVE THE PLANET, Humanity and all Creatures BIG and SMALL. Simultaneously, at another succinct Level, KOOPERSMITH’s GORFIAN Plan can be seen as yet a brilliant Coupe de Force on what a creative and insightful BabyBoomer (coupled with a vivid Imagination and Determination) can amazingly accomplish. GORF is much more than a ‘pretty TOY.’ GORF carries a symbolic Message that affects every Creature on The Earth in matters of the Cycle of Life and the Quality of Life We wish to lead and pursue.
“After all, Planet Earth is a terrible and irreplaceable Thing to destroy.”
GORFISM #652.
Thursday, June 26, 2008 – 12:55 PM CST
&
Monday, June 30, 2008 – 2:06 PM CST
THREE OUTSTANDING REASONS WHY GORF IS SO ICONIC
1. Upon First Sight, GORF makes People instantly smile. HE pulls them into ‘his Realm of Interest.’ People are curious. People are stirred. They step out of their Zone and ‘ask’ ASK about THE FROG.
2. THE FROG is one of the Oldest Creatures on The Planet, outliving the Mighty Dinosaur. Valuable Lessons can be learned here. Yet, it is our Generation that is driving The Species into the deep dark Hole of Extinction.
3. GORF, symbolic of the Amphibian Species, is unduly suffering from the harmful Effects of Global Warming, Climactic Transitions, Pollution, Destabilization and ultimately, Extinction, Crises that are affecting all Creatures including Mankind. Furthermore, FROGS are a leading Indicator of International Weather Pattern changes.
CONCLUSION: THE GREEN MOVEMENT sorely needs a strong, suitable Brand (if you will) that is automatically recognizable, accessible and appealingly robust. GORF is that very Icon!
FOCUSING ON GORF’s FIVE TOP CHARACTERISTICS THAT CONSEQUENTLY BRAND
‘THE FROG’ AS THE GREEN MOVEMENT’s ICON:
1) Appeal (Sex Appeal, Stamina, Lasting Power)
2) Charm
3) Engaging
4) Responsibility
5) Trust
GORF commands Attention!
GORF demands you care!
NEWS FLASH AS OF JUNE, 2008: The harrowing Statistics state 2,520 of The Earth’s 6,300 Amphibian Species are on the Endangered Species List.

The Statement
“THE FROG’s GOT LEGS ®.”
Dateline: Tuesday, July 1, 2008
WHY THE GREEN MOVEMENT NEEDS GORF:
Most (if not all) great Movements, Crusades and Campaigns (labeled as good, bad (or sometimes merely commercial) in The History of The World have progressed, triumphed succeeded and engaged the Masses’ Attention.
Many actually became Movements (with a Capital ‘M)’, physically moving a Society, Country or Kindred Group to dramatic Effects (Progress, Traction, Direction, Longevity and/or Results) by being unified under or behind a Symbol (Image, Icon, Spokesperson, Animal or Anthropomorphized Creation) that focused and unified a Theme, a Passion or a Following. Said Image/Symbol/Icon was not only recognizable, but became inseparable and universally accepted almost becoming One with The Movement or Theme itself by being so closely linked to a compelling Symbol, Object or Insignia.
A SAMPLING OF THESE SYMBOLS OR ICONS
TAKEN FROM THE FILES OF POP CULTURE INCLUDES:
- Geico’s Gecko
- Mr. Peanut
- Smokey The Bear
- Speedy, The Alka-Seltzer Tablet
- The Jolly Green Giant
But with GORF, We are not talking about ‘Smokey’ saving The Forests in America or relieving Heartburn with ‘Speedy’ or Insurance Buyers receiving a 15% Savings on their Annual Premium Payments, We are TALKING ABOUT SAVING THE WHOLE PLANET – Life itself and its Salvation:
For you.
For your Children.
For your Grandchildren.
For every single One of us.
THE GREEN MOVEMENT needs and must have a STAR ICON.
GORF is that Candidate.
RELIGIONS & NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENTS:
COMMERCIAL CAMPAIGNS AND PUBLIC SERVICE CAMPAIGNS
- Judaism and The Six Pointed Star of David;
- Christianity and The Images of The Cross & The Fish (to a lesser extent);
- Islam and The Crescent;
- Geico Insurance and the charming Gecko with the Cockney Accent;
- Fighting Forest Fires with Smokey The Bear;
- Planter’s Peanuts with Mr. Peanut;
- The Peace Movement with The Peace Symbol;
- The Jolly Green Giant with The Theme: ‘Ho Ho Ho, Green Giant;’ &
- Nazism and The Swastika
REQUIREMENT:
THE GREEN MOVEMENT
needs and must have its Symbol
(as Smokey, The Bear or The Gecko)
and
GORF is the ABSOLUTELY PERFECT CHOICE.
GORF is “THE PEOPLE’s FROG. ®”
WHY? Because GORF is:
- Acutely and highly visible.
- Charming. Lovable, even.
- Striking in Appearance.
- Unforgettable. Who can forget that Smile; those Eyes; those dangling Skinny Legs?
- Visually and logically appropriate.
BACKGROUND:
THE LOGIC BEHIND & HISTORY OF THE MAGNETIC DRAW OF THE PLUSH TOY FROG, GORF
GORF immediately stops People in their Tracks (which is so rare in an apparently cold, barren, indifferent and cruel World). GORF magically ‘breaks the Ice’ and turns Strangers into Friends once HE is spotted in the Arms of his Keeper ASK: ADRIENNE SIOUX KOOPERSMITH. T(his) magnetic Appeal then begins an enticing Eco-Conversation & Interaction that enforces the utter Importance of ‘Going Green.’ No other Person, Place, Thing, Concept or Entity possesses this innate Quality. For that Reason, ASK is employing the obvious Friendliness, Attraction and Appeal of GORF to further explore, explode and expose The Cause of THE GREEN MOVEMENT.
TO CONTINUOUSLY BUILD THE MOMENTUM:
ADRIENNE has declared:
2006-2016 as THE DECADE OF THE FROG with GORF officiating
to spread and promote his Life or Death Message both near and afar in order to SAVE THE PLANET, Humanity and all Creatures BIG and SMALL. Simultaneously, at another succinct Level, KOOPERSMITH’s GORFIAN Plan can be seen as yet a brilliant Coupe de Force on what a creative and insightful BabyBoomer (coupled with a vivid Imagination and Determination) can amazingly accomplish. GORF is much more than a ‘pretty TOY.’ GORF carries a symbolic Message that affects every Creature on The Earth in matters of the Cycle of Life and the Quality of Life We wish to lead and pursue.
“After all, Planet Earth is a terrible and irreplaceable Thing to destroy.”
GORFISM #652.

THREE OUTSTANDING REASONS WHY GORF IS SO ICONIC
1. Upon First Sight, GORF makes People instantly smile. HE pulls them into ‘his Realm of Interest.’ People are curious. People are stirred. They step out of their Zone and ‘ask’ ASK about THE FROG.
2. THE FROG is one of the Oldest Creatures on The Planet, outliving the Mighty Dinosaur. Valuable Lessons can be learned here. Yet, it is our Generation that is driving The Species into the deep dark Hole of Extinction.
3. GORF, symbolic of the Amphibian Species, is unduly suffering from the harmful Effects of Global Warming, Climactic Transitions, Pollution, Destabilization and ultimately, Extinction, Crises that are affecting all Creatures including Mankind. Furthermore, FROGS are a leading Indicator of International Weather Pattern changes.
CONCLUSION: THE GREEN MOVEMENT sorely needs a strong, suitable Brand (if you will) that is automatically recognizable, accessible and appealingly robust. GORF is that very Icon!
FOCUSING ON GORF’s FIVE TOP CHARACTERISTICS THAT CONSEQUENTLY BRAND
‘THE FROG’ AS THE GREEN MOVEMENT’s ICON:
1) Appeal (Sex Appeal, Stamina, Lasting Power)
2) Charm
3) Engaging
4) Responsibility
5) Trust
GORF commands Attention!
GORF demands you care!
NEWS FLASH AS OF JUNE, 2008: The harrowing Statistics state 2,520 of The Earth’s 6,300 Amphibian Species are on the Endangered Species List.
Finally, last but not least:
Q: What do We consider immortal
and

(and Godliness)?
