the african queen

i shed a tear near the end for Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn... filmfour being on freeview now is really rather nice, ghostworld the other night and today this one, except of course it's tempting to just stay in there watching films... the road to perdition is on now... tom hanks, i don't know... anyway i have my own film to make...

which reminds me i did my weekly inprovisation today, 5 minutes on the fender rhodes... deliberately short being as last weeks was so long... it's up on youtube but i'm going to wait until googlevideo has it, before i put it up here...

balthazara just came in, very affectionate, defleaing oh so imminent (wow, so many words i have trouble spelling all at once)...

the film is coming on apace, the music is at least beginning to look like a whole piece now, much work to be done polishing... very hard to play as well... and then i've got to write the vocal bit, i know roughly what i want to say but saying it... the piano piece is so hard i find it quite demoralising... (there's another one)...

didn't go to the circus tonight because of a misunderstanding between me & spski, kind of annoying but i'm complicit in it, he phoned about 50 minutes before the show to tell me he had got another ticket but i didn't get the message until too late, and anyway i'd settled on the african queen by then...
