I have promised to have 2 new songs on the site (which is something I can do rather nicely–that is sing and play the piano\u00a0 upon occasion) however in order to get these songs recorded, Charles Sauer (said husband and chief technical manager of Kay Buena.com)\u00a0has to code the software, and \/or stick his finger in the electric\u00a0outlet a \u00a0few times,\u00a0in order to make his new digital gizmo work.\u00a0 Frankly, this seems extreme to me, when we have a perfectly good and\u00a0seemingly capable (?)\u00a0multi- track analog (?) set-up here that is\u00a0just a few years old, hanging out-gathering dust on the shelf; but this is NOT the latest technology, ergo:<\/strong>It wouldn’t be prudent to go there, and use it. Naturally, if he were to be consulted on this issue,\u00a0there is some detailed and long explanation to counter this suggestion (such as ‘it dont work”.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I bought a 25$ cassette tape recorder from Radio Shack.\u00a0 It’s a little bigger than a deck of cards. Well, yeah , sure it doesn’t quite pick up the majesty of that big Steinway Grand piano, and my singing sounds a little like lou Rawls, but I’m not sure that this is a bad thing.\u00a0But I\u00a0couldn’t figure out how to transfer those recording\u00a0here, if my life depended on it.\u00a0 \u00a0Anyway, most of the songs that I’m playing are one’s recorded back in the 1920’s and\u00a01930’s, when digital recording wasn’t happening.\u00a0 My father had a copy of Vernon Dalhart’s “Prisoner’s Song”\/ (B-side) “Wreck of the OLE ’97,” ( for which any real country music fan, with a knowledge of it’s historical significance, would offer up his or her limbs. ) This record he played in the 1920’s on one of those wind up record players that were available back then…my guess is the sound quality of that was good enough for me, as my Dad (to this day and he’s 87 years old) still plays one hell of a good guitar and sings better than ever.\u00a0 He learned allot of\u00a0 his material off of such a machine, and yet\u00a0 his own performances are\u00a0 not impaired in anyway. Sometime’s, if you can’t hear ever little specific note, or sound that goes on, it\u00a0is a ‘far, far better thing’, and a decent presentation, in my somewhat impatient opinion, however—what do I know? Nada.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0And as far as the digital pictures of new works of Ort*\u00a0 that I\u00a0promised\u00a0to instantaneously appearing here, on this web site;(“*Art”-a translation from Texan is sometimes indicated as wise),\u00a0 I’m just too disconcerted and idiotic to remember to do stuff like that, as those of you who might have some experience in what “housewife”guilt and insular, internal fears can do–such as\u00a0leave one frozen in inertia, so\u00a0that these artistic\u00a0things, though important to me\u00a0at this time, tend to take their place at the end of the line.\u00a0I’ve really no good excuse,\u00a0however, one good thing about having grown children in one’s house hold,( as we do now<\/em>) is every thing that is forgotten, or goofed up, or broken\u00a0can be blamed on them. It’s like we have an implyed\u00a0immunity from all blame, ’cause they are\u00a0such obvious slugs,\u00a0here in the Sauerosa.\u00a0 It’s\u00a0their <\/strong>fault in some way, no question about it.\u00a0 They are fixing to move to their own apartment soon, so,\u00a0we better use that one, while the offer’s still good.\u00a0 They didn’t get it done, as per usual, those irresponsible, ner’do wells.\u00a0 But\u00a0I did play the songs: “You\u00a0Talk Too Much”\u00a0 and “Shine on Harvest Moon” for my PeeWeeHerman Doll, and he was still smiling when it was over.\u00a0 Maybe I can still get that going, unless my inflammatory comment about Charles’ inability to\u00a0“get off his ass”, was the true reason the recording wasn’t done.\u00a0That’s quite possible.\u00a0 \u00a0Perhaps, as a matter of political savvy, I should refuse to co-operate anytime soon, just to trump that rump.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s never a good plan to appear impatient or enthusiastic to a Computer Scientist, they aren’t used to it, finding that behavior suspicious. \u00a0What they really want is what they get from this machine, what ever that is– I have no idea; but what ever it is\u00a0 precludes all else, and is probably done in the manner and consecutive order\u00a0of his command.\u00a0 Actually anything missing from here, is probably just Karmic, so you won’t come back and check it out.\u00a0 \u00a0Yeah, I know no on gives a flying —-about this exclusion anyway, however, feed back is always appreciated.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0And the song of the Day today, Friday\u00a0August 3,2007\u00a0is a Hank Williams tune,:\u00a0 “You Gonna Change or I’m a Gonna Leave.” What was I doing before I spent way too much time on this?\u00a0 Oh, yeah…problem with me is\u00a0a sheer fire short term memory loss,\u00a0but I wish I could forget some of those things that happened a while back too, not that my long term memory is all that good–it’s too bad you can’t “dis-remember” what you want to,\u00a0but \u00a0remember the good stuff\u00a0in \u00a0minute detail.<\/p>\n

What’s your excuse?<\/p>\n
