Today, I had the pleasure of meeting new friends at the Paradise Valley Community Center. I partnered with the City of Phoenix Human Services Department for a two-hour stint, hosting my engaging Lyrics Guru Game Show. Additionally, I curated a lively playlist of 1950s hits for attendees to enjoy and dance to. It was a blast for everyone involved!

This morning, I (Al Jones) had the pleasure of hosting the Lyrics Guru game show, a highlight of the carnival-style festivities at the City of Phoenix, AZ USA | Adam Diaz Senior Center (4115 W. Thomas Rd. Phoenix, AZ).

The performance went beyond the conventional as we introduced an exhilarating dance instructional segment, specifically designed to inspire seniors to join in the fun. We guided them through iconic 1980s/1990s club dances like the Reebok, the Brass Monkey, the Smurf, and the Whop, along with timeless classics like The Twist.

The event provided a fantastic opportunity to share the sheer joy of music and movement. Heartfelt thanks to Elsa Valencia, her staff and everyone involved for contributing to this memorable experience.

During my recent journey to India and the Arabian Sea, I collected sand from the shore, filtered it, and incorporated it into an hourglass structure, serving as a symbol of the steadfast partnership between the Lyrics Guru team in the USA and the Amar InfoTech and Excel PTP team in India.

Just as the sand traverses the hourglass, communication between these entities forms the lifeblood of international relations.

Information cascades, uniting continents, nurturing harmony, and guaranteeing that the symphony of cooperation persists through the ever-flowing sands of time.

Yesterday, I returned from my business trip to India where I was the featured guest speaker on the topic of Artificial Intelligence and the use of ChatGPT and Google Translate to communicate with potential clients in USA.

Neither ChatGPT, Google, Amar InfoTech nor Excel PTP paid me to visit. Funding of this business venture was taken out of my personal funs.

The Lyrics Guru team of Jodi Avecilla and me thanks Hitesh Ramoliya, Dilip Rajpoota, all the staff at Amar InfoTech and Excel PTP, as well as participating educational institutions and information technology businesses.

We are looking forward to a long lasting friendship.

Thank you Jodi Avecilla, Priscilla Gonzalez, City of Phoenix, AZ USA Parks and Recreation Department and all those who stopped our table last night at the Civic Space Park to play the carnival-style version of our Lyrics Guru Game Show.

** HOW TO PLAY **

* Host spins wheel to select category for play;
Category identified (R&B — for example);

* Host announces song title and the name of the performer who sang that rendition of the song (Billie Jean - Michael Jackson — for example)

* Host announces four random words (Cat, Lover, Pencil, Bottle — for example)

Upon announcing all 4 words, contestants must compete to be the first to press buzzer buttons to guess which of the 4 words is found within the lyrics of that song. (Lover — correct word)

If contestant is first to press button, but answers incorrectly, the 2nd fastest person gets 1 try to guess the correct word from the remaining 3 given words.

If correct word chosen, contestant collects a category wedge from the wheel.

Player who collects the most wedges in the allotted time or best 3 of 5 etc. wins!

It is our plan to license the Lyrics Guru brand for the production of a TV, radio or more advanced multi-media game show. We appreciate all of your support as the game’s popularity continues to grow across the globe.

India is the leading country (by a HUGE margin) of app players who have downloaded and played the iOS and Android app version of our game.

Received lots of ❤️ from the students, faculty and staff at V.V.P Engineering College. This was from yesterday’s 2nd traveling presentation on the topic of Artificial Intelligence using ChatGPT and Google Translate

I took cues from Warren Buffet and a scene from Michael Jackson’s “Bad” music video.

When students meet Warren, he gives them the opportunity to pose for the camera in any crazy position (within reason). Students love it and makes the experience more memorable.

In the “Bad” video, Michael’s character returns home from an “up state” private high school to the New York ghetto. He is reunited with his neighborhood friends and they chat in a stairwell. A friend showcases a pair of stolen Cazal brand ($$$) eyeglass frames which do not have lenses. He jokes about the reason why there was no glass. He says that when the paparazzi starts capturing pics of him he didn’t want reflection from flash to ruin his pictures.

So, during my performance I wear frames without glass. I take off frames and poke finger thru glass holes and show to what I have. I’m trying for “cheap laughs”, but the students love it and believe it’s a cool and innovative idea.

I encouraged them to capture pics and share them with friends and family. They now have a new friend from the USA and I now have many more friends in India.
