It’s obvious when most people start talking about the weather in a conversation they’re bored or can’t figure out what to talk about. To clarify, it’s probably a good 90% unless it’s about a major mother nature event. As the neighbors dogs are currently barking, I’m going to embark on a little tripe about recent weather.
Southern California, or rather Los Angeles, isn’t really designed for a lot of rain. That’s rather odd when you consider that it’s very close to the Pacific ocean. One would think that being near such a large body of water that engineers would have designed the system to handle copious amounts of water. Such is not the case when it rains here in LA for more than an hour, let alone several days. No, the water builds up, rather than runs off toward it’s home in the Pacific. Streets flood, lawns can’t lap up the water fast enough and become a soggy mess. Roofs leak (not mine but a friend of mine), driving becomes erratic for some people, and a mild form of utter chaos grips the area. Go Figure.
Speaking of wet stuff. I got a song for you. Chances are, by the time you’re reading this sentence you’ve already started hearing the little bluesy live ditty. Straight from the brain of Fran Snyder, the mastermind behind a site called concertsinyourhome.com. Fran is a master of the subject. I mean the subject of performing in a home. Namely yours. There’s a whole scene going on across the globe where folks like you gather a group of friends and bring a performer into their abode and have a great time. Check out the site for greater detail.
Being a guy, I’m sure he’s also a master of the subject of the song. Could there possibly be a guy in the toiletized world that has not been subjected to the phrase “don’t leave the seat up?” or something similar? Probably not. I suppose the bigger irony would be a song about leaving the seat down. Fran? You ought to pontificate on how wet the seat gets when this is done. I’m sure that could bring even more humor to the situation. Many men think they have masterful aim for this bodily function. Sad reality is, they’re delusional. Though I wonder if a study has been done about IQ and urination aiming capability. That could be interesting.
So come into the world of live playing. A little blues and a lot of fun. Fran is setting it up in style. Why not join him. Oh wait, he’s been homeless for a while since leaving the seat up. Be a man, join him in the misadventure. Be a woman, take him in. He’s able to sing, make ya laugh, he’s handsome, and an entrepreneur. That’s qualities a girl would want. Right? For all of us that need reminding about leaving the seat up or down, snag the song off of CD Baby or iTunes. I’ve heard it takes at least 9 listens to something before you learn it. After you’ve got the lesson, you’ll want the song for yourself, to remind you where you’ve come from and how you’ve improved!
