A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |

Why they decided to collaborate? 6 ?? Why are they collaborating? Because, I bought a Kalimba just before Christmas and my muse, who has no particular name, has been watching me (with some amusement) translate some songs I particularly like, over to easy kalimba notation. Andre agreed to help. We had a jamming good time. Andre supplied information about Ape's living in trees. He is also very good on the Kazoo. The song they wrote, as written can be played on the Kazoo. As a matter of fact, I think a lot of music can be played on the Kazoo, without much practice. |
What song and Why? 5I think? I have to admit I'm a little confused. Seriously, about how many prompts I'm writing. So, I'm just following notations I made on a tablet when this all started. So, just encase I miss the mark just smile and move on. The song they wrote is called. {Smiling Chimpanzee Because, whenever I go to Andre's Bar I notice his wide Chimpanzee smile. As, my muse and Andre were collaborating they chattered and laughed all the way through it. Andre agreed to help. The muse was asking questions about what would make a Chimpanzee happy. The muse decided, that since Andre is not a normal Chimp, the song should note some actions that any Chimp even Andre could be found doing. I think a note here is wise. Monkeys usually do not swing on vines. They run across limbs to jump from tree to tree. Apes, which denotes chimpanzees, have the length of arms and muscular structure to swing on vines. The only human I know who also does this is Tarzan. Ok. Onward to the music. |
