In the low 30’s today here in mid-Missouri but I spent a couple of hours with the chainsaw making little one from big ones. These will have to be stacked unless the lumberjack elves do it while I sleep. By the time this project is complete, I think I might have enough logs to fill 50 pickup trucks. Maybe more.

Reason to Believe
Recorded with new iPhone 6 which — as promised — does very well in low light. Added B/W filter in the iMovie app.

Mr. Sandman
Taisir Yanis is the proprietor of the coffee shop I haunt. He’s only a little less handsome than he thinks he is. I tried just switching the gender of the lyrics but it didn’t work somehow, so…
Till There Was You
In 1966 I got the part of Professor Harold Hill in our high school spring musical. This song was supposed to be sung in two-part harmony with Marion the Librarian (who also happened to be my girl friend). I couldn’t do the harmony so they cut my part and I stood on the little foot bridge while she did a solo. I still can’t sing harmony.
Wikipedia: “Till There Was You” is a song written by Meredith Willson for his 1957 musical play The Music Man, and which also appeared in the 1962 movie version. The song is sung by librarian Marian Paroo (Barbara Cook on Broadway, Shirley Jones in the film) to Professor Harold Hill (portrayed by Robert Preston) toward the end of Act Two.
It’s Hard to Sing the Blues
It occurred to us recently that we might not get any better on the ukelele. No matter how many hours we practice. And who really wants to hear Five Feet Two one more time? Or the first time? So, with the encouragement of my friends Viretta and Natasia, I decided to write something myself and put it up on YouTube for the world to hear. Like a gay man coming out, just more awkward.
I dedicate this first effort to Professor Peter who’s been coaching me, as well as J-Walk, Bisbo and the Hobbit who encouraged me. Okay, they didn’t discourage me which is sort of the same thing.
