I finished working out the chords for “Tout l’monde est musician” (Everyone’s a Musician) by Serge Gainsbourg. I ran through singing and playing it in French. On Friday I’ll finish revising my translation then run through singing and playing it.
I weighed 88.05 kilos before breakfast.
I played my Kramer electric during song practice for the first of two sessions. It went out of tune a few times during the first few songs but then behaved itself for the rest.
I weighed 88.55 kilos before lunch.
In the afternoon I headed out for a bike ride but there were ice patches on Seaforth that my wheels slipped slightly on. I figured if they didn’t de-ice the side streets they wouldn’t have salted the Bloor bike lane so I just rode to Freshco at Gladstone and Queen. The red grapes were firm and so I got five bags. I also bought a pack of raspberries, some bananas, cinnamon-raisin bread, a small bag of peanuts in the shell, two packs of Full City Dark coffee, three bags of skim milk, chicken bouillon, beef bouillon, and pork bouillon.
I weighed 88.55 at 18:00.
I checked my bank account and the amount for the new computer: $2,810.30 is on hold, so it looks like this order won’t be canceled and I’ll have a new computer before Christmas.
I was caught up in my journal at 18:55.
I plugged in my Sony Dolby two-cassette player for the first time in about twenty years. I’m just smart enough to know not to try to play a tape without cleaning out two decades of dust. I used several Q-Tips and alcohol but after half an hour there was still dirt. I’ll tackle it again tomorrow.
In my “2024-10-06 Song Practice” Movie Maker project I deleted all the songs that came before the final take of “Leave Some for Everyone Else”. I copied the project as “Leave Some for Everyone Else (Kramer electric)” and then deleted all the songs that came after that song. I added a fade to black, an older film effect and two sharpening effects. It gave the video a kind of faded, sparkly look. I published the movie and took some screen shots. Tomorrow I’ll upload it to YouTube and then I’ll be done with that song. I’ll add another of my own songs to my daily repertoire.
I had a small potato with gravy and two small chicken drumsticks while watching season 1, episode 27 of Car 54 Where Are You?
Sylvia Schnauser attends a beautiful wedding with her husband Leo but it just makes her miserable because it reminds her of the fact that she never had a big wedding. They just did it on her lunch break at city hall and so she missed lunch as well. Then when the bride throws the bouquet it falls into Sylvia’s hands and so she takes it as a sign. She demands a wedding from Leo and when he refuses she begins to behave as if they are not married. She won’t let him sleep in the bedroom and during the day she wears a maid’s uniform and Leo has to pay her to do the cooking and housework. Leo appeals to Muldoon to talk to her because she’s always considered him the most intelligent of Leo’s friends but when he tries she just tells him she’s available for dates on Thursday nights. Leo asks Toody to get Lucille to talk to her and she agrees to set her straight but when Sylvia asks Lucille to be her matron of honour she is suddenly on Sylvia’s side. Then Sylvia asks Toody to give her away at the wedding and he begins to behave as Sylvia’s father. Sylvia moves in with Toody and Lucille and begins calling them “mom and dad”. Finally Leo gives in and arrives at Toody’s place with flowers and candy to court Sylvia. He gets down on one knee and asks her to marry him. A hall is rented and all the guests are there for the wedding. A judge is there to perform the ceremony. Muldoon is prepared to be the best man. Leo and Syvia are late but they’ve been shopping for the ring and it’s figured they are caught in traffic. But then Leo calls and says they couldn’t wait and decided to get married at city hall. So Toody and Lucille renew their vows instead.
The judge was played by John Gibson, who co-starred in all 178 episodes of the popular radio adventure series Speed Gibson of the International Secret Police, which ran from early 1937 to mid 1940. The character of Speed Gibson is a 15 year old pilot who becomes a member of the International Secret Police. Gibson played Speed’s sidekick Barney Dunlap, whose catchphrase was, “Suffering Wangdoodles!”. He also played the chaplain on the Phil Silvers Show.
