Resume

I dug up my MR8 from the closet recently, turned it on, and found it to be dead. After futzing with everything for several minutes, including the power cord, I set it aside, but left it plugged in and turned on. I don't know what possessed me to do that.

A day later, I had to move the guitar case, and bumped the surge protector plug from the wall. When I plugged it back in, I noticed the MR8 was glowing and ready to go. I guess the surge protector plug had been loose all along. Lucky!

I messed around with it the a couple of days later and recorded a musical version of a poem by Dorothy Parker, which my mother introduced me to after a long talk about suicide:

Resume

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

Dorothy Parker

The music is lifted from my favorite rif by Jason Mraz, and the melody I just made up on the fly. My apologies to everyone for the poor sound quality and cheap "drum machine". These are all one take tracks, so be kind.

Enjoy!

Just trying out this embedded flash player from Jeroen Wijering. The song is by some guy named Phil Stafford (stage name - catchy, eh?).

Enjoy!

You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.
