Can I get an 'amen' to the problem of little things getting out of control, no matter how diligent you are about keeping your life in order?! Yikes.
Hence, one reason I love summer in my little life of luxury is that it gives me the opportunity to clean things up.
On my list of things to do today was to transfer pictures off of my computer.
Thousands of pictures.
[I'm sort of killing time here, because I can't do some of my other tasks until they finish copying..., fyi.]
Anyway, as I looked through things, I found a file that I'd never blogged about, and--for the sake of record keeping--[which is how this blog serves me]--I figured I'd take a second to tell you about it.
Sometime in the past year or so [can't for the life of me remember exactly when, and am too lazy to look it up...], I was asked to record a commercial for a local software company.
The purpose of the commercial was to draw people's attention to this problem:
You can hear musical errors, but can you catch utility bill errors?
They wanted to show a person playing a portion of Mozart's K. 545, but with errors in order to demonstrate their point.
Now, I don't generally like to specialize in errors, but all these guys needed me to do was to be a decoy. They asked me to play without errors, just so they could dub their recording over it and use my hands to set the scene.
So, I agreed, and found myself here, late one night,
watching these guys set up the stage.
When they were ready, I got myself settled on the bench.
And then, I played my assigned portion over and over again,
while the guys stood around me, making me laugh, keeping a beat by banging on the floor so that my playing would match the tempo of the recording they wanted to use.
It was super fun.
