Sunday 01/28/2024
So the usual Sunday round — the balcony plants need very little water this time of year, I finish that chore in about 3 minutes — and then pass time pleasantly until lunch. After which I go off to the Museum where it is Apple Employee Day. Closed to the general public but full of Apple employees and their families. I lead the 2pm tour, about 30 people, big crowd, and I manage to keep them all interested to the end. Of course the crowd knew a lot going in, at the point where I explain integrated circuits, I kind of said, well, who am I talking to, you know all this stuff. But there’s enough history they don’t know. Anyway, they stuck with me and gave me a nice round of applause at the end.
Three different times today I practiced “Who Put the Bomp”. This is my performance bit for the upcoming “Strollin into the Sixties” party and I need to get it totally memorized — get “off book” as they say in theater. Very frustrating when I screw it up. “Come on you know this shit” I chastise myself.
Meanwhile I’ve assembled a book of songs I can play, with a recent addition, “Jennifer Johnson and Me” by a songwriter I had not heard of before, Robert Earl Keen. Really simple to play, fun to sing.
