Hit the Road Jack - Rick in January 2014.
Here's the car Dorothy and me "hit the road" in when we did gigs in 2014. By 2014, I think we were doing retirement homes in the Phoenix area. George and Sons gig had ended. The Taurus was on it's 2nd engine. The transmission fluid had not been changed at 95,000 miles. I was unaware of the neccessity of changing tranny fluid. Stupid stupid stupid me. This car was amazing while it lasted-- 3.8 L which was BIGGER than the other 3.0 L... plush velvet seats, great stereo-- and lots of room made me feel like a real man on the freeways of Phoenix despite the car being 20 years old. Amazing. But I apparently didn't understand the finer technical service requirements and deterioration schedule. It sits parked in my driveway now awaiting a windfall profit scenario in which I can "reanimate" it. In the meantime, I start it up every day and listen to 93.5 for the song that tells me what it's thinking. Yeah-- right I know-- that's nuts. But it acknowledges the idea that that car MIGHT be "alive".... like "Christine", the car in the horror movie-- but in a positive spiritual sense.

Margueritaville on piano-only with vocoder
We have an upcoming gig on piano only-- with perhaps keyboard drums on the side and vocoder so I thought I'd try a few tunes using that format. It requires I play in the key I sing so no auto transpose possible. This one's in D. My hair is better since I found an extra bottle of Chinese shampoo. I still have that cowlick on the right side but sometimes a curler takes care of it. I'm thinking about a laser brush-- but not until my car transmission repair bill is paid off. So here's Marguaritaville.Desperado cover by Rick in studio - using extreme vocoder as test

Rick's "Last Date" by Floyd Cramer on the Yamaha 433 keyboard.
We're creating an option to play ONLY the keyboard at a few upcoming gigs. I'll take the keyboard, an amp (on a dolly this time) and the Boss pitch corrector as well as the old Canon camera. Given that we'll zero in on this option, I'm creating some examples of what it will look and sound like. Every place we play also have some kind of acoustic grand piano, usually a little out of tune and hard to play but we'll likely do straight acoustic piano or a combination of the acoustic and a keyboard. PIANO LESSONS: A lot of our students only have keyboards now-- not pianos -- so this series of videos will offer good examples of how these keyboards can be used to create authentic sounding bands and how students can learn piano and sing using them as well. Here's Last Date on a keyboard.

A bird called 'donald trump... donald trump' in my back yard.
I couldn't believe my ears when I first heard the bird calling from my backyard.... 'donald trump... donald trump!". It was the day before Trump was to visit Arizona. I grabbed my handicam-- and ran to the backyard to try to catch a piece of this call and I managed to get about 6 seconds of it before it disappeared into the background noise of the day and other birds and traffic. So I grabbed that 6 seconds and repeated it on a loop about 8 times. See if you do not agree with me that the bird is callind 'donald trump!" "donald trump"!
All I want for Christmas is... a 10 Gallon Stetson Hat (Rick on piano)
Here's an original song by a customer we recorded in a studio track by track, edited by a studio tech on a computer. I played the piano. Audio only. For visual relief I installed the lesson book on chords.

Country Roads
I'm not too happy with the results in this next song, Country Roads, but I'll post this interim result anyway. BE CAREFUL WITH VOLUME-- turn it way down because my recording level is too HIGH... I still have some learnin' to do on how to make that go right.

Piano player and singer at Burlington's La Salle retirement residence.
Note that the couple are doing Girl from Ipanema... perfect! I know that one! I think that that 's a digital grand with the backgrounds electronically built in. Both have mics. They'd have to be local for this one shot deal but a place like this with a piano could mean ongoing business.

Hey Jude
I'm running videos on this blog from vidmeup.com now instead of youtube so it may or may not appear in your browser. I don't know what the translation problems are and I'm not likely going to bother figuring it out. Youtube won't take uploads from me anymore because I think my browser is "out of date". That's funny because they didn't have any problem taking them before six months ago. Now all of a sudden they can't take them. I'm not interested in upgrading browsers or very much of anything lately. That goes for my music so herewith is Hey Jude from the 1960's. I'm not really hitting the nail on the head here but I figure it to be an attempt-- an experiment. I think the vocal isn't balanced with the instrumental. And I made few booboos. Anyway... I'll have to give this a shot in public next Saturday night at Habachi Grille.
Old Time Rock & Roll
I continue to experiment with a direct line input from the amp/speaker/mixer combo unit into the camera. This time Old Time Rock and Roll is the topic. We'll have to use ONLY the keyboard at Habachi which has it's own keyboard but a lesser quality. The Yamaha below has subtractable parts so you'll hear me operate those to some extent.

Surfin USA for Habachi Grille with direct input-- use stereo headphones.
We're working to put a new set together for Habachi Grille for 2 hours on Saturday nights... and this can be used at our upcoming Chengdu Delight gig and retirement center gigs as well. I've changed my recording tactics to direct input-- which is a big deal in terms of sound quality. It involves lots of wires. I hate that. But it is what it is. I always try to put a systematic routine together that can be used across various types of venues-- be it online, or in front of retireess or at restaurants on lousy grand pianos or on our keyboard & digital piano *which is heavy. Anyway... give this one a listen-- an old tune from the sixties... still known by the youngin's out there who sport backward baseball caps, tattoos and piercings. Go figure. Beach boys-- Surfin USA

Recording test with Boardwalk-- direct input from mixer/amp/speaker combo unit via headphone jack
I had to switch my old Canon ZR-40 (my 3rd one since the others bit the dust)... from direct input to headphone input since those outputs use different "impedences". I then plugged my speaker/amp/mixer headphone output into the input on the camera for a direct hardwired input which I think sounds better.

Mexican Hat Dance Accompaniment for San Jose Anti-Trump Riots
It occurred to me, while watching some of the riots in San Jose yesterday, that what was missing was MUSIC! I'm not very good at dubbing but if you play the 3 minute clips below at the same time, you'll get an idea of what I had in mind. Maybe someone better at video creation can take it further. Both video's will play for about 3 minutes so start them both and sit back and enjoy! I'm not sure what feeling the juxtaposition imposes but it's kind of funny in a way-- certainly interesting!

Obama stuttering songs
In keeping with my idea of reviewing songs inspired by current events, using the playlist function of Youtube, I now present Bee-Bi-Obama-bama-bama who made us all laugh yesterday with his Trump-breakdown inspired stutter which I found hill-lairrrrious. I couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes. I follow up the snippet of the stutter with stuttering songs or near-stuttering wordgame songs such as bbb-b-b-b-Bad to the Bone and the NAME Game. If I think of more I'll add them after this writing.

The Magilla Gorilla & Harambe Hoax Show - both cartoons
Here's another one my playlists featuring SONGS that can be associated with CURRENT EVENTS. In this one, I recall a THEME SONG from the CARTOON about Magilla Gorilla. The tune is done in a BIG BAND STYLE accompanied by singers and a full orchestra. It's the kind of TV OPENING that used to be popular in the last century-- and I would say the quality of those musical openings were better than today's. Here are more...Hanna-Barbera Productions - Television Series (1960s) - Part 1 - YouTube The MODERN FORM of the CARTOON is VIDEO-CGI (Computer Generated Imagery). As a modern cartoon, CGI looks real-- unless you look closer. Today's "news" orgs are so confident that most of us DO NOT look closely, that they feature CARTOONS as "news". I have to admit that the quality of these latest cgi cartoons along with the fake news is entertaining. The only thing missing is the THEME SONG-- that's where I thought I would do my part and add to the entertainment.
LYRICS - I could not find chords yet... but here's a site with a TV Fake book that includes this song. I might get that. http://www.ezplaymusic.com/browseproducts/Fake-BookThe-TV-Fake-Book.HTML
I recall the lyrics as "Magilla Gorilla and all of his friends say hello, hello, hello..." but cannot find THOSE lyrics. Apparently that's the closing theme.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/golden-buddha-phoenix-3?hrid=PqMWXqwdmCIkkh31mttTww&rh_ident=piano&rh_type=phrase
We came on the earlier side for dinner, so the place wasn't quite busy. Needless to say, we had the server's undivided attention the entire time. We sat right by the piano so it was very neat to hear the live pianist play while we ate. We ordered about 9 dishes, and the memorable ones that I really liked included the: garlic and onion crab, fried crab, tofu clay pot and the steamed fish.
I ate at Golden Buddha a few weeks ago. We ate at the restaurant after a day at the zoo with our 4 year old and had a blast. The piano bar played tunes for my daughter and the staff was more than accommodating.
We stepped in and asked for a seat for two. We were seated immediately. The place was decorated nicely and a lady playing the piano made for great ambiance.
Service is pleasant and friendly. Cost is reasonable. Ambiance is nice. There is a baby grand piano, but only played at night for dinner. It is comparable to California standards. Good ROA (ratio of authenticity)
A gem for Chinese food when you're in Phoenix, man. It's authentic and even offers entertainment each and every evening: live piano! Yes, there's an American guy who plays from a book of songs each night. Feel free to tip him if you'd like; he plays well!
Oh but this place is classy; it has a piano, and a 24 hour player!
Be entertained by classic, quiet standards being played live on a piano while you dine?
When we left, the same manager was at the piano singing in Chinese
Chengdu Delight Restaurant in Chandler has a piano on stage.

| The piano broke while we tried it on our first visit. It seems the sostenuto went out- that is the left hand sustain on the bottom end controlled by the middle peddle. I only had the soft pedal depressed and the right pedal, which is sustain. I recall this same problem (and our repair of it, waiting for the piano tuner several times) during 2005 and 2006 when we played it for owner Tony Kao. We visited a second time the following week and it wasn't repaired yet. The current manager had not yet called the tuner. I had offered to call him. I might end up paying for the repair as we make our offer to play it again. |

LEE HUFF on the stage with the piano facing outward is just a bit dangerous since there is nothing but a 3 foot drop immediately behind him. When I played this piano, it faced the other way with the keys toward the wall-- much safer.

Penguins vs. Sharks goals accompanied by ONE CHORD on the stadium organ?
Pierre Trudeau mispronounced "unPREcedented"... as "unPREEcedented"
When you are a musician as I am, you hear language differently. You hear the composition of the cadance, the rhythm and the pronunciation. Here Trudeau exposes himself as a mere reader who doesn't understand English and thus English reasoning when he says "un preeeee cedented". Other than that, a very good command of English pronunciation. I just can't understand how he could have made that error of making the short E and long E. I completely missed that back when this was live.

I may as well take the time to create a piano lesson out of this song... here are the searches.... and below that some lyrics and chords and more.

The Ice Cream Truck Song - YouTube
What mechanism is involved in playing ice cream truck bellular sounds-- and why was that sound chosen? ... good question. I added a video to the playlist above to answer that.
Here's a first attempt to create Lollipop as an ice cream truck song. I didn't use sheet music but did use the chords as seen above. I think I have a lot of inaccuracies and might have to order the sheet music. I forgot to edit out my first few false starts. I replicated it 5X with copy and paste. I do not believe the end user is going to be able to play this off his smart phone through a loudspeaker as ice cream trucks use. The proper equipment is sol by a particular company as seen in the video playlist above. In any case, playing the following will give us basic idea of what we're considering. I believe I used some tones that are too low.

Turn down your amp before playing this video-- or reduce the volume on the bar on the video by more than half-- it's too loud. This is a test video only.
Atonal music
Be sure to check under ATONAL music in the index below anytime you wish to hear music that makes no sense. This type of music is great for those with no sense of harmony, melody or rhythm. They can be expressive and sound like they're doing something right away.

These latest videos are not on Youtube proper-- as such-- but uploaded on the Blogger site here. Because of that, I cannot link the videos in a playlist as I could on Youtube. It appears now that Youtube won't allow me to upload with my old Mac OSX 10.4 and Safari 4.1-- but to update my browser I need a new operating system. To do THAT, I need a new computer because I'm on a Mac G4 and the most I can run on is 10.4 (Tiger). So I'm done with Youtube uploads until I get a new computer it seems. In the meantime, I can continue to upload one video at a time here. I've tried other video hosts like VIMEO but they insist on using HD and don't have playlist linking anyway. There is another service that allows playlists but they charge $10/mo and I don't want to do that right now. So here's the best video I can make and upload at this time (using an old Canon video camera).

No more youtubes for me-- VidMeUp might work better.
I'm not signing or renewing any more URL's or domain names. The domain name industry has been destroyed in my view. I'll never use twitter or facebook again either-- they're useless. I'm very unhappy with google and even blogger for different reasons. My MacG4 is way out of date, my browser constantly is indicated as being out of date. I'm just really unhappy with the entire Mac experience now. It's all useless... pointless. They've all destroyed themselves. I'm now getting zero hits on this blog due to my non-renewal of my domain-- nothing is re-routed or forwarded. Here's my first upload to VidMeUp... a possible alternative... lets see if the embed works.

Rick's Popcorn Playlist for Sun. April 25, 2016
Of course, the movie can be advanced by skipping over certain videos on the playlist by clicking the advance arrow. Or a selected video can be seen by using the drop down menu. Neither of those can be done with a remote control yet but Rick invites the TV industry to study his idea for upgrades to that this can be done.
Rick's popcorn playlist is not intended for viewers who are walking around with video-enabled smartphones. It is possible however to watch an internet enabled ipad propped up at the foot of the bed before sleeping. In fact, Rick includes late night Coast to Coast talk shows by Noori and Bell about ancient aliens at the end of the popcorn playlist for the viewer's late night listening experience. Another term for this method might be "video deejay".
