Thanks Jon, that was a fun listen. I never saw that movie or heard that song!

hugs, helen

[disneydream06]

Never heard the song, huh?
It was every where for awhile. lol.....

[kaishin108]

I never liked AeroSmith but that song is okay!

[disneydream06]

I grew to like them. :)

[kaishin108]

I never gave them a chance. I thought they were heavy metal and wrote them off.

[disneydream06]

So of course they do this ballad and have a HUGE hit. lol.......

[kaishin108]

Right! LOL!!!

I did a performance in Lord of the Rings Online Saturday devoted entirely to food songs. Just got word from a friend in Germany who recorded the entire show, like six or eight bands! - that something happened and the first two acts - the organizer and me - were lost! So I'm going to redo my show this weekend.

I did Foreigner's Feels Like The First Time:
I could bake you a soufflé
It won't fall, I guarantee!
If that's what it takes me baby
To show how much you mean to me

And I guess it's just the hunger in you
That brings out the chef in me
I know I can't help myself
Cooking's everything to me

It feels like it's prep time!
Feels like it's slice 'n' dice time
Prep all the veg time
Fire up the stove 'n' oven time

The good thing is that it was a very last-minute show for me: I had driven to Phoenix Thursday to attend a memorial for a friend who'd passed away from cancer in mid-'20, and that was on Saturday, which was when the show was. I had no time to practice, very little time to put my lyrics file together. Had some tech issues with a computer program scripts but was able to overcome that. I'll be able to do a better show on the re-shoot with a better sequence and I'll be able to do two new songs that I ran out of time on.

[disneydream06]

That is so cool. :)

[kaishin108]

I have to agree with Jon, very very cool! :-)

Thank you!  I have a 15-member band on several servers, but I mainly play on three.  On one server, I play at least twice a month on regularly scheduled shows, sometimes three times a month.  It's a tremendous amount of fun!  I was just invited to a festival on another server where I play festivals 3-4 times a year and occasionally otherwise throughout the year.  The game has a free to play mode, so it's not like I'm paying for all 15 of my band members :-)

[kaishin108]

How fun! It sounds like you really enjoy it. :-)

[thewayne]

I certainly do!  It is a tremendous amount of fun.  It's also a big time sink, but it beats watching TV for me and costs a lot less than drinking or drugs, or so I hear.

[kaishin108]

And it is creative! I like to paint and write so doing something creative is a lot better than watching tv, for sure! :-)

I've also been a photographer for several decades and there was always a surprisingly high quality camera in my pocket when I left my house for any reason.  I bought my wife and I a pair of iPhone 13 Minis for Christmas - she had to have one to work with the Apple Watch 7 that I got her that trip for medical reasons, and I decided to get a pair.  And the camera in that phone is absolutely insane!  I do need to start carrying my Lumix again, though.  I dig out my Canon full-frame kit when I'm going somewhere for a planned shoot, but the Lumix more than handles impromptu shoots.

Very cool! Do you mind if I add you? No worries if not. I know since coming over here from DW I am meeting more people from LJ, ha hah!

[thewayne]

You are quite welcome to add me!  I came over from LJ, IIRC, in '17 after starting there over a decade earlier.  I'm kind of behind on posting photos, I need to get more up.

[kaishin108]

Thank you, just added you too!
I came over in 2017 but I stopped back in at LJ in 2021.

I struggle to post photos here, still figuring it out, LOL!

[thewayne]

I have the advantage of a photography web site that is easy to add pix to.  I keep an unpublished gallery page that I dump photos on, then grab a link from there and use straight HTML IMG tags to post them over here.  Photos seems to be the most common complaints of people transitioning from LJ to DW.  I tried using Dropbox but would occasionally accidentally wipe out my cache, Amazon's photo app (at the time) didn't work at all, I don't know if Microsoft's One Drive would work.  But since I'm already paying for web hosting, might as well use it!

[kaishin108]

Good idea, what you are doing. I can email my photos here from my computer or my phone, I take my photos on my phone, I just can't resize them. Still working on getting that figured out on my phone! :-)
