Why the name Ranch Chimp? it was in humour because, science says that humans have similar DNA to a chimpanzee,so I felt some way related biologically to a chimpanzee. 2nd, everytime I was out of Texas on a vacation or for whatever reason I’m always asked things like, do I live on a ranch?,or have cattle? so I commonly call Dallas the Ranch. "Politically Depressed" was also humour inspired by the 1993- 2002 Bill Maher TV/ tele show "Politically Incorrect".

SUNGHA JUNG : "Cancion Del Mariachi", "River Flows In You", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Bittersweet"
For this selection for the music/ art's "RCJ Honour Roll Society" will be to salute/ honour Mr. Sungha Jung, and take a peek at some of his work. I have been following Mr. Jung since I first laid ear's on him on YouTube 3 year's ago, so this is past due as well. I actually accidentally ran across him while going through some old school Guns- n- Roses "live" vid's, and Mr. Jung happened to have a cover tune by them, then the list of cover's and various style's he done on different string's instrument's and keyboard's/ piano just captured my atencion, and of course his unique presentation's. I wanted in this case instead of doing "live" concerto/public event's to get a more raw and personal look at him simply in his home enviroment. I was of course selective here and posted my choice's, which was a tad difficult as well, because Mr. Jung especially even reconstruct's a wide variety of artist's and style's/ genre's in contemporary music.
The first 3 I selected for this post are cover's to present his unique restructuring in his vision with his personal flavour, and the 4th piece is one of his own composition's. All video's supplied by his YouTube site , Thank You! And of course, outstanding work Sir, and is why I chose him for this journal's society honour's ... Thank You ... and the Best to you in your future career and endeavor's ... you will do well! ... Enjoy! :)
