Last Saturday Kurt and I were trying to think of things to play, not as yet shot and uploaded to YouTube by Pip. Pip has been at it for a long time and everything we think of to play is already up. So Kurt strated playing Good Vibrations and I told him to postpone it until Pip got back. We didn't have a chance to talk about it at all and I'm not sure how much of it we wrecked. But it sounds kind of good to me, stumbles and all. I'll try to figure out how to embed this video. I forgot how.

Where have I been? I haven't been here on my very own blog much at all. There's a weird little party going on over at Facebook, and the back and forth here can't touch it.

A few months back I decided to get up every morning and record a ukulele instrumental before moving on to my daily chores, and I posted each one on Facebook as soon as I was done. It was nice to get feedback on it. (You know the "post a comment" links on each entry here? Nobody pays them much mind at all.)

Well, if you ever get out Facebook way, look me up. It's a pretty good place to shoot the breeze. I'll come back here now and then and leave some more bread crumbs.

I don't do it often, but this time, I goofed around with the young people loops a little. The tune, Siboney, is a Cuban classic by Ernesto Lecuona.

I was halfway through my two week hell of untreated sleep apnea when we did this shoot. Pip says he has a handful of instrumentals from this shoot waiting in the can for his attention.

BARACK OBAMA - They're Just Not That Into You!



Like Rachel Maddow said, "Dude, you could do so much better..."

I am nearly ready to admit that I am in the tank for Obama. I always hated that term, because it implied I was no longer paying attention, but I'm confronted by the evidence of my unreachable gone-ness. I just watched a five minute raw video of Barack Obama trying to get from one end of a Chicago lunch joint to the other, and I know I'm going to watch it again. Next time someone tells me I need my head checked, I'm going to give it more consideration.

While watching it all I could think of was this ad, which shows in our market all the time.

Wonkette ran a quickie about their blog's session with the non-Freudian analyst at typealyzer.com. I had to find out what it thought of my little blog. Ready?

The analysis indicates that the author of http://ukebox.blogspot.com is of the type:
ESTP - The Doers

The active and play-ful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.

The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.

Does this explain how crappy I am at updating regularly?
