Ronnie's Video.
Roll Up,Roll Up! Step this way, yes, just step through the curtain, illumination awaits. Two chums of mine, Artist Jim Mc Kevitt and Renaissance Man Mark Mc Keown, had produced a thrilling piece Ronnies Video, which can be found on Youtube. Its a mixed media retro-1980s video treat. An analog King In Yellow (Sorry, its almost a reflex for me to word an entry point for new visions. It is a way of reassurring viewers or possible listeners that there is a way in.) Way, way back in the day we used to have these things called high streets, they were centres for commerce and social interaction, where people would gather to buy and trade, sadly a concept slipping out of the shared cultural zeitgeist. And on these "high streets" you would find all manner of commercial outlets, food shops, clothing shops, record shops and even video stores. Vast libraries of video archives, where one might find the unexpected sitting right next to the unrentable. Mostly these finds were pleasing, the perfect distractions from the knobbielist of lives, but just occasionally there were terrors waiting in Betamax boxes...
