Ever since singer, songwriter, and adventurer Rick Schuler wore his first pair of round glasses at age 13, the murmurs began. It was undeniable, he looked like John Denver, an artist he’d never heard of until that moment. It was during an era when the music of John Denver permeated the airwaves with sweetness and sunshine, a salve to the wounded and weary soldiers returning home unloved from an unpopular war. “John Denver was the biggest star in the world, and I didn’t have any idea who he was,” says Schuler, who quickly discovered that Denver was the guy on the radio whose music he loved. “I was a very shy kid, and John and I kind of became bonded. I taught myself to play guitar and it grew from there.”

Nearly four decades later, Schuler has emerged as the leading performer of John Denver’s music. His ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH EXPERIENCE® is just that, a true, intimate experience. Schuler performs in front of thousands of Denver fans each year singing favorite hits such as “Sunshine on My Shoulders,” “Take Me Home Country Roads,” “You Fill Up My Senses,” and “Thank God I’m a Country Boy.”

This show will captivate audiences and offer an unforgettable experience celebrating the life and music of John Denver. Even Denver’s bandmates sing Rick’s praises. Schuler not only sings, sounds, and looks like Denver, he shares his humanitarian spirit and incorporates his global works into the show. Also, Rick was chosen to open and close an upcoming major Hollywood film release called “Grace and Grit” starring Mena Suvari and Frances Fisher among others and directed by Sebastian Siegel.

How Can Gaming Be Beneficial To Us?

Gaming gets a very bad reputation. The media has portrayed it as this evil thing that we have to protect our kids from. As well as this, they have painted it to be something that only lazy people do, but this is not the case at all. If you look past the way that gaming has been portrayed in recent years, you will see that gaming can actually be quite beneficial to people. In this article, we’re going to be discussing some of the different benefits of gaming, so if you are intrigued by this, then you’re in the right place. Keep reading if you would like to find out more.

Social Side

One of the things that you should be looking at is the social side of things. Of course, we’re not recommending that young kids should be allowed to take to the online game channel and speak to strangers, as this would be a safety concern. But for teenagers and for adults, this is a great way to practice your social skills, speak to new people, and even develop your leadership skills. Some lifelong friendships have been made through gaming, but it’s stories like this that you don’t really hear about. 

It can be tough to understand if you have not experienced it, but sometimes speaking to people online can help you gain some confidence when it comes to speaking to people in person. You learn a lot about how to interact, and it can carry over into your real life.

Joy And Happiness

Gaming also brings joy and happiness into a lot of people’s lives. There are a range of different games available, and some people find that they prefer one type, others prefer another, where other people like a mix of a range of different gaming types. It’s good to try out new things so that you know for sure whether something is for you or not. When you find things that you love though, they bring joy and happiness into your life, providing you with something that you look forward to. For example, you might want to play the online casino games available at Fruity King, or you might want to play a shooter game like Fortnite. As long as you are safe, that’s what matters.

Teaches Responsibility

Our last quick point is that gaming can actually teach people to be more responsible. You need to know your limits, you need to know when you are going too far, and you need to know when to stop. It’s important to know your own limits and game responsibly, and the only way to learn to do this is to learn through doing. 

So, there you have it then! These are some of the ways that gaming can be beneficial to us and everyone else. As long as you are keeping it in control and you’re not raging shouting at games every five seconds, then there really is nothing wrong with a bit of gaming. Just keep that in mind, and keep it safe if you decide that this is a hobby you would like to take up.

THE UPCYCLED GARDEN AT CITY MUSEUM

THE UPCYCLED GARDEN Opens March 1 AT CITY MUSEUM March 1 Through June 1

St. Louis — Attaboy, cofounder of contemporary art magazine Hi-Fructose, comes to City Museum in downtown St. Louis with The Upcycled Garden installation.

The exhibit is an ever-growing and touring concept by Daniel Attaboy Seifert, featuring locally sourced recycled cardboard, house paint, and spray paint remnants. While beautiful and organic on the outside, when many of the sculptures are flipped over, you can see a visual diary of consumption (gluten free pizza, Covid tests, light bulbs and Amazon boxes, etc.) used to create the art.

Attaboy started making the works when dealing with the pandemic lockdown, rising costs of living and as therapy for post-car crash PTSD and a neurological condition. There is little-to-no planning while making them, and the open-ended play of constructing them is soothing for the artist. Different groupings of the sculptures are being created all the time, and the installation is set to grow in 2024 and beyond.

The Upcycled Garden began at a converted mortuary turned gallery in Oakland and has been exhibited at: Uma Gallery, The Brea City Gallery, Mainstreet LA, Art Thou Gallery and more prior to coming to City Museum.

An opening reception with the artist will be held at City Museum on March 1, 5 – 9 p.m.

The Upcycled Garden is included with City Museum general admission and is located in the Sullivan Architecture Gallery on the fourth floor.
