Tumbled Overboard
After church today, I spent half an hour trying to teach myself in vain how to improvise a jazz harmony to "Heart and Soul" on the piano.
(This is not actually quite as obsessive as it sounds, because just a few days ago I had actually pulled out "How To Play From a Fake Book" and started working throught the piano chord tutorials for the first time, and it uses "Heart and Soul" as an example. I think I may actually stick with it for a while - I've wanted to get back into music-playing for awhile, and the longer I've been at home with Mom, the more I miss the sound of Dad constantly messing around with harmonies on the piano. And the only way I'll be able to hear something like it again is to learn to do it just as badly as he did...)
This afternoon, I'm going through and sorting out all the files that I've pulled together from two laptops, two desktops, and two memory chips, to make backups in preparation for putting different OSs on several of the systems. Including all the mp3s. And the temptation to make a Clark/Lois fanmix while I'm at it is jost ... so tempting.
And speaking of that, to transfer them from one computer to a nother, I put up 850 megs of *extremely* assorted mp3s to YSI. I figure I might as well share, since the file's uploaded anyway - everything from "We Change the World" to the extended techno remix of the original Dr. Who theme. The zip file is here, if you want it.
...if someone friends me out of the blue who has "butchering Harry Potter fans" as an interest, should I be worried?
