Last week I found myself with time to waste in a South Yorkshire City, so wandered into the centre only to see loads of kids ( after school) jumping in the fountains. As many of them had their swimming attire with them, it must be a place to go when it gets hot and you want to stay cool! Looks like a lot of fun.
SONG OF THE DAY- Tyler James……..click here blog 1st march 2011
Yup I was singing his praises over a year ago and now he is in the final of the Voice….
Well it seemed silly not to enter, and as I love CD baby and everything they stand for. ‘Music for the people, by the people’. If you want to find music that is not restricted or chained to the major record company, this is the independent place to visit.
So…… my jingle must be my song of the day.
SONG OF THE DAY 1. Write a 30-second jingle about CD Baby (jingle must include “CD Baby” to be considered) and today I am trying soundcloud for the first time…click hear to hear my jingle.cd-baby
One of the nicest things about the singing days I am invited to lead is most organise ‘lunch to share’. Now how does this work you may ask? Very well, as is happens. I always have this slight trepidation that every one will bring humous, and I have to say, I have been 
to workshops in the dim and distant past where yes, there has been a plethora of plastic pots of humous and mountains of french sticks on the long table clothed trestle table. I think seasoned workshop attendees have, over the years realised this just won’t cut the mustard and many people are much more adventurous with their contributions to the lunch table. This weekend the spread at the vegetarian school ( yes there is such a thing) included home made risottos, samosa, falafals, a multitude of colourful salads and fruit dishes, breads and crackers of all persuasions, home made cakes of all shapes and sizes, and even a bit of humous to boot! Last weekend in a non vegetarian village hall the lunch to share was as varied and delicious. Often people are really good about putting little labels with their dishes so people know exactly what they are letting themselves in for….fantastic!
One last story of the vegetarian school, the venue for the singing workshop got moved at the last minute, so there was a lady attending the workshop who was a bit miffed as she had bought all the ingredients for a mighty fine fish salad only to be told that we had moved to a vegetarian school! Ah well, her family will be well fed.
SONG OF THE DAY – JOsie ( live) -Steely Dan
I am still totally a DAN fan ….I must go and see the Nearly Dans…a tribute band. The bass man in this live version is so on it and the backing vocals are mighty fine, they fade out on the intro of Deacon Blues…mmmmmm
I need some file cards for a project and yes – you guessed it, I have thrown them away ( into the recycling of course) during my last decluttering session. They had been taking up space in my office for the last 10 years, in one of those funny little dusty file card boxes which seem a bit old fashioned now. I kept them as I thought they would be useful…one of those ‘just in case’ objects that fill up the space around me. I really felt I had kept onto them for long enough.
Now I am going to have to go out and buy some more….I have a theory that there is a little blip in the old clutter clearing theory that we have not yet sorted out. I think it is a ‘cosmic universal thing’ that somehow if you let go of some things they just come back to bite you on the bottom. Sadly I have not the time to do the research into this, but I would like to know if I am the only one who has come across this puzzling little phenomemon.
It always happens to me if I accidentally lose or put on weight. I loose a stone…keep all the big clothes just in case, then as soon I send them to the chazza shop, I put the weight back on. Same happens if I put on weight and keep the smaller clothes, you can bet your bottom dollar the moment I send them off to a better place, I lose the weight. Ring any bells?
I have another niggling thought in my mind that the file cards did not go in the recycling, I put them in a ‘safe place’, and will only find them if I buy some new ones.
It is still raining and I have the heating on, in the middle of May. Happy Days. x x
SONG OF THE DAY KT Tunstall-Black Horse and the Cherry Tree
I was reminded of this as my mate AO has done a blindin acapella version of this song. This video live version is a great piece of live looping and cracking singing.
