JediRich.com Studios in Las Vegas (en-route to Panamá)

The Jedi final take of the Las Vegas Raiders Anthem before we leave for Panamá 🇵🇦 in September.  Once we receive our passports, we will depart. This week, (August 17 2020), record heat wave will send temps up to 113℉! So the Jedi went to allegiant and made a music video.

We are the #JediJoyRichShow #JJRS-- advocates for healthy & organic living. Along the way, we give our opinion too. But like Jedi Joy's late mother Laura Jean Shugrue always says - "Opinions are like armpits & assholes-- everyones got 'em & they stink!" ​

Jedi Rich Lightowler started recording copyrighted material at age 5 in Milwaukie, Oregon 1972.  He found a two-track cassette recorder, the kind that you had to press "play & record" together to record and he would audio record "Star Trek" off the TV every night for his Dad when he got off work. At age 5, Jedi Rich thought the recordings were a Masterpiece. Jedi Rich dreamed of being able to someday do the same thing with video recorder, but the VCR had not yet been invented. 

Here's a little bit about Jedi Joy. In 2002, Jedi Joy graduated high school one year early. Instead of going to college like her sister, Jedi Joy joined the U.S. Air Force at age 17.  She wanted to serve her country after the tragic events of 9/11.  Her parents had to sign a waiver.  While she was in the Air Force, her mother committed suicide.  This event changed the course of Jedi Joy's life forever. 

Back to Jedi Rich. In 1996, Jedi Rich built his first digital audio workstation (DAW) in Oakland, California on Rich St. between Telegraph & 42nd Avenue.  The house was located "down the way" from Mosswood Park where Jedi Rich would play hoops on the weekends  Three out of five band members were named Rich & the studio was on Rich Street, so naturally the band was called "Timothy James & the Crying Shames".   It was an experimental studio, built in a detached garage. But it worked. And it was portable so Jedi Rich could record the band's live shows when they played in San Fransisco . 

The skills Jedi Rich learned building that DAW are the same needed today in a non-linear, non-destructive recording environment  In fact, you need to know much less today to build and use a DAW under normal circumstances. 

Why Hire a Married Couple?

Married once. Never divorced. They are committed. They are people you can trust.

Jedi Joy Kirkpatrick & Jedi Rich Lightowler met in 2009.  The have only been married only once. To each other. Since 2014.

Jedi Rich is a man you can trust.‬
‪Jedi Joy is a woman you can trust.‬

A better question: What kind of people have you been hiring? You hired a team of people who choose to spend 80% of their wake time away from people they love. Meaning, they are either lying to their feelings, lying to their loved ones (wow) or lying to the business (bigger wow). You can’t be in two places at one time. Further, as a manager, how will you feel asking Jimmy Jimenez in editing to make a last minute animation changes over the weekend, knowing, little Jimmy has got the Scripts Spelling Bee Championship finals in Santa Cruz on Saturday. Eventually, you will resent Jimmy or he will resent you. But Jimmy’s wife & kids will resent both of you. Over 90% of marriages today in their 30s will get divorced before the couple is in their 50s. 

"Limit Your Liabilities - Hire a Husband/Wife Production Team"™️

With all the #MeToo's in the Entertainment, music & film industry, now you can limit your liability by hiring a two-person team for your project; similar to how doctors & dentists treat patients of the opposite gender.  Sounds weird, but that's the world we live in today.
