In the morning I did a little desk work, then spent a couple of hours on the video for the upcoming C&W event. Actually what I did was search the internet for pictures of barn doors. I need a static picture of a half-open barn door, or better still a video of a barn door closing, to use as a “bumper card” between each song in the final video. You would think… but no. It’s been very hard to find what I want.
At 2pm I got on the bus with 20 others for a visit to the San Jose History Park, which is what it sounds like, except they were celebrating VJ day, the signing of the Japanese Surrender, ending WWII. They had army people in period uniforms with period equipment, jeeps and artillery and such, in a model encampment. And 20 or more 1940s-era restored cars parked around the square. The park has a restored doctors office and dentist office, and a barn full of period fruit-picking machinery, and stuff like that.
At 7:15 I’m going to head out walking to the Lucy Stern theater for the “Happy Pleasant Valley” musical we had a preview of last Wednesday. I’ll report on that tomorrow.
