Join me as I seek out amazing places and unique stories with a focus on the American Midwest. Also check out The Victorian Portrait, my Facebook group dedicated to antique photography! You can get ahold of me here: johnkarr55@gmail.com
Check out my "Budd"ies @TheBuddFiles They are avid historians and explorers of the abandoned and forgotten. Their style is like casually hanging out with a few friends. If that sounds like a good fit for you, then give them a sub!
Today is the anniversary of the final stop in the Winter Dance Party tour of the Midwest in 1959. After leaving the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens boarded a small plane and took off to meet a grim fate minutes later. Join me as I discuss this tragic night and visit the memorial site North of Clear Lake with family.
In case you're unaware of it (I've had several people tell me they don't show up in their recommendations), I have a Shorts series entitled Faces of the Dead, in which I show the faces and tell the stories of those who have passed before us. Consider checking it out! Episode 17 just released!
It was my pleasure to sit down the Derek and Alex Koops, the domino-toppling twins who won Domino Masters on @ and wowed all four judges on @'s @! Hear @minoes story of making a small-town Midwest dream come true in their own words! @IowaPBS
So this thing blew up for me... It was sitting around 1,000 views for it's first seven months and then in the last 6-7 days it's popped off to over 6,100 views. I'd love to see the algorithm continue to show it love so if anyone has this one in your Watch Later list, now would be an excellent time to give it a watch, like and comment!
Attention my #European friends, I am planning a short, humorous video for our American 4th of July holiday. I am looking for 4-5 people from anywhere in Europe to collaborate with. I promise it will be quite painless and I will gladly promote your channel in exchange. Get ahold of me here or via my email address on my profile, if interested!
In celebration of Memorial Day, I have a video coming out tomorrow morning which took many dozens of hours to research, write, gather media for and finally edit. It was a massive undertaking! Everyone have a safe and reflective Memorial Day! https://youtu.be/FJqd41xODnE
