911 Abuses
911 Abuses
I'm blogging about the people who call 911(emergency telephone line) for everything
EXCEPT what they should be calling it for, and to point out some ridiculous circumstances for which calls were placed.
A man calls 911, and when the crew gets there, it turns out a strange cat has wandered into in his house.
A woman calls 911 and when she is asked why she is calling, she states that the crows outside in the trees and sitting on the telephone lines making too much noise(cawing too loudly..)
The 911 crew listens to a frantic call where a man and a woman are yelling, and carrying on...and when they get there, it turns out that the couple was arguing over who was going to do the dishes..Im not making this stuff up!
Want more? here ya go...
A man calls 911 because an employee at Burger King messed up his order!
A woman calls 911 to get a date with a policeman...she is needy, and likes cops...
"I cant find the movie theatre, and the film starts in 5 minutes...help!"
A woman calls 911 because she says time has stopped...its been 3 pm for
over 2 hours now...
A four year old calls because she is having a problem with a math question....
ok, nuff said..there are many, many more...but people, dont call 911 unless it's life threatening or for some sort of medical emergency..just sitting in traffic and being in a traffic jam is not a good excuse...;)

The Great Lloyd Price
Just want to mention the fact that the excellent rhythm and blues singer Lloyd Price, is still around and performing now and then at various venues...Lloyd has been active in his own food business, as well as performing on oldies shows and is even involved in putting out a play on his storied life. This October, the 22nd 23rd(2010), he will be performing in New Orleans at Harrah's Im sure he will touch on some of his old hits such as the classic Lawdy Miss Clawdy, JustBecause, Personaity, and many others...so, if you get a chance, check out Lloyd next month at Harrah's - 2 great shows!

The hottest day in los angeles
yesterday, Spet, 27 10
The hottest day in los angeles so far, (since records have been kept from 1877..113
in
downtown L.A.and I wanna tell you it was very very strange, I
said goodbye to a friend at 5 am, and stepped outside... it
was already 80 degrees...later on that day
it was a dry heat, bit intense.. I turned my air conditiong on
in the car, but it wasnt really cooling the car off.....now
today about 10 degrees cooler and humidity now present, the
car ac seems to be working again...i turned it on this morning and it smelled very strange...
like maybe a burnt rubber small(the belt?)I dont know what it was..
very strange day it was.....I fell asleep with a fan on me,
and woke up a few hours later the darn thing was still going...
I wonder if thats the last hurrah until the next hot weather
the coming year?
glory halleluiah!

Thoughts
Thoughts
I Was driving to my music lesson today, and I saw a familiar face walking along side of the road as cars were whizzing past.It is a 30 something homeless guy, who I see around town from time to time...AND NOW....he is getting animated, flailing his hands and talking to himself, so he is getting worse...I wonder if there is, or will be any help for him? Will he ever become mentally stable, or will he always be like this...I don't know...But I pray for him..
ANd THEn...I was on facebook and thinking, I wonder if anyone has started another site based on other parts of the body?..Yup, they did..it's called Assbook...its a real website, but its pretty new, and of course...not quite as appealing as facebook..and the membership is pretty low...I didn't see anyone by name I recognized on there, but most use aliases..some use profile pics of their face, while other use(you guessed it)
The recession has finally ended according to government statistics..but I do know a couple of things..it doesn't feel that way..
The first thing is - I suppose you could measure the economic barometer based
on certian signs..one would be the drop of sales of SPAM or PEanut Butter.
The second thing I know is if the media will start putting out more positive reports, I think things will improve...but as long as we hear things are bad, we tend to go that way...and mirror what is said...so we need to be positive and think and act positive..I know its a hard thing to do in wake of the jobless and homeless....
And now they have a new website for dating, based on the not so good looking..its a dating site for the ugly! They call it uglybugball.com dating for the aesthetically challenged.
Well, of course, I had to go on the site to see what they were calling ugly...and well, really so many of the folks on there arent that bad...
of course theres the flip side of the coin, a site for people who think
they are beautiful and yes, many of them have illusions of grandeur.....
Well, Ill sign off, and as I have said(not often, but sometimes)
"keep singin and keep swingin!"

Songs from the 50's and 60's I VAmp on at the Piano
Songs from the 50's and 60's I VAmp on at the Piano...
Hi,
Thought I d mention a few vintage songs Ive been vamping
(improvising) on the piano...
I dig Eddie Heywood's Canadian Sunset, and it's a groove to
play..
Lets see, what else?...a trio of songs IVe been messing with
lately by the great composer Henry MAncini..Pink Panther Theme,
Peter Gunn, and Dream OF a Lifetime(Ballad) One of the old
standards I like mess with is "Pretty Baby" written by genius pianist TOny Jackson from the
ragtime era(this one admittedly not from the 60s-lol...)
I dont know if Ray Charles ever did this one, but I can
picture him doing it...I fool around with some early Beatle
tunes..In particular I like All My Lovin'
and play a version of it similar to how Stu Phillips
conceptualized in on his Vol 2 Hollyridge Strings PLay the
Beatles..also
along the same lines from Stu Phillips P.S. I Love You, also by Lennon and Mc
Cartney...
What else do I like to do...well, I like to explore the
opening chord of A Hard Days Night by the Beatles...probably
the greatest opening of any record ever made..just one big
bang chord..on the piano.
the original recording does have a piano, but it also has,
well I hear a Harpsichord, an electric 12 string guitar, and an
electric Bass....So my version has a lot of notes in it...but its all
in the form of basically a sustained chord, a derivitive of the
d minor chord....or maybe a g7sus 4 chord
What else? Maybe vamp on Wives and Lovers By Burt Bacharach,
or trying to figure out the Beatle tune Yes It is!
Just a bunch of old songs for an old guy, but Im having fun!
Steveo
P.S.
ON the original front, been trying to further my composition
entitled Strawberry Hill..
It languished for quite a while with a sub standard bridge, but
this morning i thought of a new part..
and its much better..so I will try and integrate that into the
"body" of the song.
