Intro Music to Presentations by George
Here’s the 1 minute clip with catchy music that I like to play just before my presentations. Are you ready? Are you ready for a Wild Time?
I’ve posted the lyrics – click here.
This is a catchy tune that I prepared using TAD.AI (affiliate link)
World Cruise Music Video:
Here’s another video I’ve prepared for the 2025 Viking World Cruise, with satellite views of the ports of call from LA to Auckland, NZ. Ports include Hawaii, Bora Bora, Moorea, Tahiti, and Cook Islands. Turn up the audio – I’ve created a song for this video to help celebrate the world cruise (with a little help from TAD.AI).
Lyrics for this song
I’ve had lots of people ask for the lyrics to this song – to see the lyrics click here.

Presentation on African Wildlife
You can view one of my presentations from the 2024 Viking World Cruise. We were scheduled to sail through the Red Sea, but due to the threat of missiles in the Red Sea, Viking chose to circumnavigate the continent of Africa instead. This was fine by me, we’ve been to Africa several times and we love to see the amazing wildlife every time we have an opportunity. In the following presentation, I relate some of our wonderful experiences visiting parks and viewing wildlife in South Africa and Botswana, including Kruger National Park and the Okavango Delta.
