Niagara Fallsview 35th floor

The Jive Bunny spends Christmas on the top of the Fallsview Casino

Hi,I am the Real Jive Bunny,

I was born on Easter and came home from the hospital dancing as a 13 pound bouncing baby Jive Bunny.
I started up Jive Gallery 10 years ago in a dumpy neighbourhood on Queen Street East and have not stopped representing the Arts, Music, Painting and Dance. I have been an Artist all my life as well...
While on Vacation in beautiful Niagara Falls, I had the wonderful opportunity of staying in the Fallsview Hotel on the 35th floor; In my awe of the fabulous view, I took my trusty Sony Camera and video taped
the best view in the world and played the radio. Well, lo and behold, when I put this video on Youtube,
they banned the soundtrack, which just happened to be my favourite version of Lady Marmalade by Patti
Labelle and the Pointer Sisters from 1976. I love You More today than Yesterday, by a 60's group, that I totally love to dance to. I have never been so humiliated in all my life by the Youtube team, taking a creative moment and banning the sound. Since I started on Youtube in June, 2010..The Jive Bunny reports on Music and Art in the Big City, I have never put anything obscene or of suggestive nature on Youtube. I made videos of bands and Singers that are legends and should  be recorded. My little trusted Sony has served me well since June.
Starting with the June 23rd Earthquake, the G20 Riots on June 25th, 26th and 27th. The Stars of American
Bandstand on July 1st. at the Fallsview Avelon Theatre. I have fulfilled my dreams recording these bands.
The Jive Bunny," Swing the Mood "was published in 1991,by a group in England;and my Sister Patsy, who used to blast this Album, and who has now left us from Cancer in 1995 is dedicated to her love of music..

Back to Niagara Falls, the Security has been so strict, as when Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits told the Security to Get Out.. I really do love Fallsview Casino concerts and have loved every one of them, the last being Leanne Rimes who I have seen about four times. I have stayed at the Fallsview Hotel since it opened,
and the view is amazing. This time I was able to record it to wonderful music that was on the radio.
Some things are just meant to be. I was meant to be the Jive Bunny. So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in 2011. Keep dancing and singing and love to love you baby. Keep those wonderful concerts coming.

The Curse of November 24TH

Hi ,I am the Jive Bunny,

There are always reasons we see things, like movies, deja vu or dreams. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is a movie made about a 41 year old editor of Elle who is held hostage in his body form a sudden stroke; lived long enough to record his memoires by blinking his one good eye. This was a film by Julian Schnabel,that I saw at the AGO, a true story of Jean Do..On the 24 th of November, on my Mother's side, Beatrice Bailey 1900-1939 passed away of TB leaving behind a family of 4 children. My Mother at 16 was with child at the time. All her life, she cried for her family, especially at Christmas time. Her last brother passed away on Nov 21ST, 1995 and the Funeral was on the 24th of November.None of her family lived to see the age of 65,
except for her, she was admitted to hospital on Nov 28TH and Passed away from Liver Cancer on December 6TH, 2004. She left behind 39 children , a dynasty from my Father Joseph Abraham Joseph.
This year my father passed away 24 days after his 99TH birthday on February 24TH. There was nothing wrong with him except old age. We are at the mercy of the nurses and Doctors in the hospital. Now my Nephew who suffered from Colitis is in hospital with ARDS(Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) in a drug-induced coma to cure his lungs. Jason was to marry his Sweetheart of 6 years on December 4TH.
On November 24TH he opened his eyes and of course still cannot use lungs, but he has his Theresa at his side 24/7. We pray that this couple will live to see more  great-grandchildren for my parents, the 24TH was a good day for my Father as it was his birthday, but then the birth records at the time he was born in Scotland to Polish, Russian parents were questionable.
We are meant to see movies, to dream  and have deja vues as these are signs to prepare us for our future and for our loved ones;we are all the same, and we all experience the same things,care gets better every day with prayer and love. LOL to all those looking after their loved ones who are not able to look after themselves. That is how we survive...with a little help from our friends and loved ones. Peace and Love to all.
