Honoring Our Elders: Lives Well Lived East Meets West from Samurai to MD, to Complimentary Medicine Practitioner.
You can try to take nature out of healing but you can't take the Samurai spirit out of the healer. Shot in HD, this documentary is an exciting exposé on some hidden truths about main stream medicine. It is eloquently told, in a very personal story of a life well lived. Sub titled East Meets West, this accomplished pathologist M.D., turned back to his early childhood influences of natural medicine. Fearlessly he tells the truth, about how and why we are over treated and over medicated as standard operating procedure by the current day eastern medicine. Coming soon exclusively to Free Speech TV from Frank Melli, producer of Meet The Farmer TV. A TV Series, hosted by Horace Scott, will follow after the launch of the documentary as a spin off, and is part of a collaboration project between Horace Scott and Frank Melli called Honoring Our Elders.

The Host: Horace Deraco Scott The first is the day I met and later married my beautiful and precious wife, Susan. The second would be the births of my three wonderful children. From Mariah Carey & Kelly Price (live at St. John's Divine Christmas Concert) to Ben Folds (1993), Lenny White (1988) & Pic Conely (1994) I have been blessed to have worked with some of today's finest artists. While at C.C.N.Y working towards my bachelors in music I had the opportunity to study alongside Arturo O’ Farrill . Arturo had composed a special arrangement of the schools Alma mata song “Oh Lavender” that we performed during a spring Commencement ceremony. C.C.N.Y provided the environment that allowed me the honor and privilege to study under jazz vocalist Sheila Jordan & the legendary bassist Ron Carter. In 1991-1992 I toured the U.S. and Canada with the first Equity Broadway production of The Buddy Holly Story. Also, in 1991 U.K. Pop sensation Kenny Thomas recorded my song “Girlfriend” co written with R & B producer Bert Price. The album was entitled “Voices” and went double platinum. In 1996 I landed a position at WPIX-TV and in 2000 I was hired as a full time Engineer. In 1997 I broke into the Billboards pop 100 singles chart with a remake of the BJ Thomas / Blue Suede hit "Hooked on a Feeling". In 2009 I released my first project as a record label executive” Green Heart”. The roster of musicians that I had the pleasure of working with were as follows: Toninho Horta, Nilson Matta, Romero Lubambo, Ze’Luis, Paulo Braga and Jerry Jemmot. Today I am a proud partner in a new and exciting music label City Boys Mike Productions L.L.C. Today I am introducing myself as the newest member of The City Boys. I am so very proud to join this amazing group of musicians. I can easily say that this is a professional high point for me. Before I attempt to recount my professional achievements I have to mention the two most important personal moments in my life. The Director: Frank Melli
