If it should so happen that the Reader finds himself/herself in the Mediterranean in June, Wayne Weddington will perform a concert devoted to Love, expressed in principal by the love songs of the beloved Dalmatian singer Oliver Dragojevic and the inimitable Frank Sinatra, two of the masters. Dubrovnik, Croatia, June 16 2018.

Mr Weddington will perform in both English and Croatian (Dalmatian, to be exact!). Le Petit Festival du Théâtre is an an annual celebration of The Arts and the Global Community, bringing together artists and the fans of art-and-science from around the world. This year, 2018, the festival is a tribute to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Croatia. (http://bit.ly/2JaW6Qf)

Mr Wayne Weddington is a private Investor, Writer, Philanthropist, husband and, well, occasional crooner.

Mr Weddington first became enamored with Croatia and its many regional cultures in 2004 with his first visit to Dubrovnik to visit the WarPhoto Museum, founded by an erstwhile New York BFF Frederic Hanrez. Mr Weddington is devoted to music as a conduit of communication, in all of its genre. And in that spirit, and the inspirations of Le Petit Festival, offers his first public performances in the Croatian language as an expression of love and global community.

Mr Weddington is in development of a collaborative ecosphere, the IamYou Project, organized to foster mutual joy and understanding through conversation and respectful discourse, an increasingly lost medium corrupted by the anonymity of technology and social media.

The central purpose promotes listening, artistic expression and basal understanding between strangers across the globe. It has a Name. And it is Love. Mr Weddington is married to his Croatian Muse, Gabrijela, and currently resides in New York.

Augustus, My Sponsor.

Augustus was baptised in August 2021 in Kastav Croatia at Sveta Jelena. Grateful, I promised the young priest that upon my return to New York, I would embark upon the process to be baptised myself, with Augustus as my ostensible Sponsor. I joined the St Ignatius Loyola Church catechumen process.

Immigration Kabuki

In 1821, when Mexico won its independence from Spain, Mexican Texas became part of the new nation. Soon thereafter, the Mexicans relaxed their immigration policies to allow migrants from the United States.

The American Race

Our collective national dignity of the American Experiment does not countenance that we refer to each other by skin hue, or measure one's patriotism by the continent from whence came our forebears.

Go'ment or Private Sector

Once one has had to interact with the apparatchiks of the governmental regulatory cabal, it would be virtually impossible not to become, subsequently, a small government conservative.
