  • No Enemy but Winter and Rough Weather" ("As You Like It")
    "No enemy But winter and rough weather" ("As you like it") (Chrondisp 3) Chapter 1 We were driving through a silent white tunnel. Snow was a blinding glare in the twin thrusting halogens, resolving into white dots accelerating at us like flak. The misses zoomed smoothly away and over as they found the boundary layer on the hood; the hits flopped heavily onto the tinted triplex, to be impatiently waved aside by the over-worked droning wipers. Jim's square face in profile was devilish in the underlighting, eyes hidden in black holes like Torquemada. His hand reached out of the gloom to push yet again at the heating gate. "10:17pm Friday" the dash clock read; "7:17am Saturday" my wrist watch would read, as jet-lagged I fought hot-eyed against the hypnotic wipers and the warm air blasting back from the windscreen. Another car slowly overtook us, thrown up sludge slamming on our 467 Merc and immediately we were at the bottom of a black greasy ocean. `The prick,' Jim muttered, flashing his main beam. The note of the wipers deepened, laboured and gradually we rose to the surface. The overtaking car's green number-plate froze for a moment in our headlights - "California - The Sunshine State". Pushing technology to the limit, the Airbus 770 had dropped vertically through the blizzard with screaming jets into LA exactly on schedule. But immediately after touchdown we had run out of technology. Lines of Mexicans with shovels were pushing aside the snow and an unknown Edison had clamped a plank to a fork-lift truck.There are no snow-ploughs in Los Angeles.

  • Investment Proposal Prepared For: Online Portal Prepared By: Jack Mcconnell, Founder, Guitar & Vocals November 2020 Proposal Number: V3 EXECUTIVEMELBA SUMMARY
    MELBA Investment Proposal Prepared for: Online Portal Prepared by: Jack McConnell, Founder, Guitar & Vocals November 2020 Proposal number: v3 EXECUTIVEMELBA SUMMARY About Melba Culp is a hard rock and heavy metal band formerly based out of Austin, TX - now based out of Russia and Finland. Founded by Jack McConnell in 2015. Objective The guitar-driven band hit the world hard in 2019 with its fast-paced and hard-hitting aggressive single "Never Surrender". Melba Culp is an independent artist looking to challenge the current structure of the music industry and therefore seeks non- traditional financing from outside industry standards. Melba Culp plans to finish recording remotely and release their full-length LP, therefore, an outside investment is needed to further challenge the industry and grow Melba Culp. This unique structure of self-sufficiency will allow greater artist control, greater cash-flow through the entity and is expected to provide a larger net profit for the artist organization. Solution & Investment To continue the growth of Melba Culp as it’s own self-sufficient entity, an investment of $30K is needed (required up-front investment of $15K - recording expenses). The funds will allow the band to produce full audio and video content for a debut album, it’s marketing and basics for a live production to support scheduled high-profile 2022 performances and future performances. The following is offered in return: 30% of net profits until recouped. 5% of net profits in perpetuity. 1. A minimum investment of $3K is required. 2. Profit distribution is quarterly on a calendar year basis (January 1 - December 31) 3.
