Nobel for Medicine 2009: Carol W. Greider's speech

Carol W. Greider's acceptance speech - this is really a scientific lecture of a summary of her genetic work, and runs 50 minutes.. her work in discovering and naming "telomerase", the enzymes in DNA/RNA that relate to aging, rejuvenation, and will help cure cancer by stopping it's telomerase from working by aging them rapidly and killing them by reversing the new growth process.. She's the Stephen Hawking of genetics, and her work will be more ground-breaking than Curie's or Einstein's over time.. the entire biotech and stem cell industry would not exist in present form without her work..

Original Composition: Gone (for Piccolo)

Written for a musician friend named Mandi who was leaving town, and who plays flute, recorder and pennywhistle. This used the piccolo on my Yamaha Digital Grand. When she said it sounded like film music, I put it on a video I made for them called "A Year in Pine Mountain"

Original Composition: Awakening (Midi Version)

Awakening: This was my first composition, done in three hours the day I got my Yamaha Digital Grand synthesizer. This is the original midi file from the keyboard with no alterations, just as I played it myself, errors intact.. I've never had music lessons and can't read or write music notation. I think I was maybe a little too excited by all the instruments available (650 total).

Original Composition: Eulogy (For Angie)

Originally written for the passing of my mother, my 3rd composition, done 2 weeks after getting my Yamaha Digital Grand synthesizer. I renamed it for a rock singing girlfriend who thought it was my best composition. It originally was done with strings and horns, then I ported it into Cakewalk and changed the instruments into guitar and piano so it could be easily performed onstage by a duet.
