I was reminded today about this project we recorded with Bob Hope in Austin for a TV special with Morgan Fairchild, Dottie West and the Gatlin Brothers in the early 80s. Joe Cates, the same producer who handled the Johnny Cash special, headed this one. I remember Hope used art cards for his prompts. He had an assistant named Silvio Caranchini, who was his personal aide and handled all kinds of details. Silvio would stand or sit in the audience and palm through those gigantic cue cards. Truly old school. Bob Hope was amazing. He would come in with his wife looking quite unassuming and stand just off stage. But as soon as the announcer said his name, he transformed into another persona. He was so accommodating and a consummate professional. Thanks to Watt Casey for this great shot of Mr. Hope. #musicicons #musichistory #omegaliveproductions ... See MoreSee Less

We first recorded Hans Zimmer in the late 70s. Since then across a 40 year career, he has redefined the movie score and become one of the most celebrated composers in Hollywood. If you have Netflix, check this awesome BBC Doc, “Hollywood Rebel.” #MusicIcons #musichistory #omegaliveproductions

Ok, it’s here and funky. Little Feat have composed an album that’s their love letter to the blues entitled, ‘Sam’s Place.’ “Can’t Be Satisfied” plus many other blues classics are on this album. #MusicIcons #musichistory #omegaliveproductions Omega Productions

Here is one of life’s little secrets hiding in plain sight. Yep… attitude is everything. #MusicIcons #musichistory #omegaliveproductions”I was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing I noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for me.
He handed me a laminated card and said: 'I'm Wasu, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like you to read my mission statement.'
Taken aback, I read the card. It said: Wasu's Mission Statement:
To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest, and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.
This blew me away. Especially when I noticed that the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!
As he slid behind the wheel, Wasu said, 'Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.'
I said jokingly, 'No, I'd prefer a soft drink.'
Wasu smiled and said, 'No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, lassi, water, and orange juice.'
Almost stuttering, I said, 'I'll take a lassi since I’ve never had one before.'
Handing me my drink, Wasu said, 'If you'd like something to read, I have Good Housekeeping magazine, Reader’s Digest, The Bible, and a Travel + Leisure magazine.'
As they were pulling away, Wasu handed me another laminated card, 'These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you'd like to listen to the radio.'
And as if that weren't enough, Wasu told me that he had the heater on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for me.
Then he advised me of the best route to my destination for that time of day. He also let me know that he'd be happy to chat and tell me about some of the sights or, if I preferred, to leave me with my own thoughts.
'Tell me, Wasu,' I was amazed and asked him, 'have you always served customers like this?'
Wasu smiled into the rear view mirror. 'No, not always. In fact, it's only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard about power of choice one day.'
'Power of choice is that you can be a duck or an eagle.'
'If you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself. Stop complaining!'
'Don't be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.'
'That hit me right,' said Wasu. He continued and said, 'It is about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.'
'I take it that has paid off for you,' I said.
'It sure has,' Wasu replied. 'My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I'll probably quadruple it. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on it.'
Wasu made a different choice. He decided to stop quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles.
Have an eagle life ahead.....
—Adapted
I hope we all decide to soar like an Eagle and not quack like a duck 🦅🦅
thank you Patti Huckaba for the share 💕”
