Bourne Again / lost songs
Dec. 2nd, 2009 12:48 amSat
The Bourne jazz duo gig was OK - long night tho (left house at 6pm, home 1am) as it's quite a journey. Not many active listeners either b ut nice management was happy and it; always nice to earn some money.
Sun
Took it quite easy - went to Borders closing down sale - picked upa cheap Jimmy Cagney box in an attempt to get a better print of one of my fave ever films The Time of Your Life - alas the print looks the same as the one I have - the other films look good tho.
Mon
Worked on website in the morning. In the evening I found a file (cardboard, not computer) of old lyrics of mine. What I didnlt expect to be in there were many lyrics to old ongs rom 10-15 years ago that I never recorded. Some I had no recollection of the music. I spent the evening working thru them and found 20 that i either remembered or could do something with. Weird - like a communication from another life. Truth is about that time I had a writing mania. Bandmates often said i wrote in triplicate and they had to pick the best 1 out of 3 similar ones. I can tell what my influence fad was as songs are either David Crosby/Richie Havens/Paul Kantner/John Sebastian/Jesse Colin Young or Buffy Sainte-Marie-like.
In evening watched Kaminey dvd. Not really my kind of film but it was good seeing Shahid Kapur who played a twin role. Priyanka Chopra was good too. Kind of a dark Bollywood Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrells - too much action and violence for me but i enjoyed the music, especially the underscore. Well done - just not my genre.
Tue
Wanted to look at the sons again but lots of little chores and details took over the day. Posters to venue, sorting videoing of Dec 10th big gig, buying guitar strings strings, sorting gig dates, newsletter writing, ticket designing etc. Went out for dinner as reward for sorting a lot of stuff. I think my Inga & Anush albums arrived but I;m being a good boy and not opening them til my birthday (big kid that I am ;-) )
