Vestal Virgins Split Saying Donald Trump Pays Better for Virgins

The Vestal Virgins were informed Donald Trump will just chuck them into a volcano.  His own volcano hasn't erupted since 1984.

It's ok that they split.  The Silas is now bathed and said that feels swell.  He may even do that again next Christmas.  That rascal is even clean-shaven ... well ... except for the parts which ain't clean-shaven ... which is most of his face.


There are two opportunities at this juncture:  the first is toward indolence and decay in which we blow a bowl of the high-grade and watch Christmas in "Die Hard" movies.  Christmas is good and Christmas with Bruce Willis chasing bad guys and cracking jokes is even better.  The other choice is to do something productive and lay down another recording, hopefully not suckulous this time.

(Ed:  what is suckulous?)

Well, you know what fabulous means, right.  Suckulous is anything which isn't that.


Bathing doesn't have anything to do with shooting a video because you won't be able to tell much of anything anyway with all the lasers firing.  That could happen today but mostly I want to get some dry runs of "The Sanctuary Song" down until I'm satisfied it's dialed.  Each time with all three songs it goes out twenty-thirty minutes so I'll be gassed.  It's still not clear if all three will be in it and that mostly depends on how the ganja blows before I do it.


Cadillac Man said he doesn't always understand it when I write of musical things but, that's ok, neither do I.  This is music education using the Braille method in feeling my way.

The situation always comes back to Gabriel's Horn because that's the bridge.  His riff starts on D flat but the key of it does not walk down to the F where I need to be.  Going down from D flat in F minor works fine.  The way it has gone sometimes has been to play a four-note riff in the key of Gabriel and then four in the key of Sanctuary, all so slow and wistful.  Throw in a little trill in-between to end on F.  Answer that with another F two octaves down and then bring in the fanfare phrase on top of that ... it reads jumbled but it doesn't sound like it in play.

That's not even close to the recording from last time but, dat's ok, it will work much better this way and it's the only way it can work for the video because of timing considerations.


In the interests of being marginally human, it's probably still too early for this on Christmas Day.  We'll go with some indolence and decay and Yevette will bounce later for some type of festivities which do not require a co-conspirator, at least not me.  She likes it when I record, tho, and has often asked if I am planning on recording on any given day.

I remember reading that Steven Hawking was told when writing 'A Brief History of Time' that If he included even a single equation the book's sales would be halved. Being Steven Hawking he decided he had to include one equation, E=Mc2. Sales of the book did pretty well as it turned out anyway. I remember thinking it would be an easy read as it was a short book. I read the book. Then, I read a book on how to read the book. I then read the book again. Still only understood a little. However, understanding a little of the mind of a genius is truly worthwhile. So, it goes with your musical descriptions. Keep it up. As, even if I get only a little, I learn a lot.

Best wishes to you and Yevette for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. UH!

Happy Christmas back at you with lots of happy li'l grandbabies and whatever they call grandness in niece and nephew babies.

Right about now maybe you're coming into the Christmas part where you think, well, ain't that incredible. It all worked and now you can kick back and do nothin'.

It seems Santa missed a couple people in ChiRaq. Tomorrow the sled heads north for a couple days. Then back home to the hearth and I'll be sure to follow your advice.

Tried to figure what ChiRaq might be by sticking things on Chicago. Chicago Racket makes sense but not close enough. Enjoy the sleight ride to it, whatever it is. Uh!

Cadillac Man said...

ChiRaq is a nickname given to Chicago because there is more gang war, violence and killing on the streets of Chicago than in Iraq. UH!

Dayum! The Windy City has got a whole new vibe. It happened again with two more killed this weekend up there. The carnage is staggering.
