Failure

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  Are you enjoying your life?  It's awesome, right?  Alhamdulillah!  I didn't have to go out today, which is awesome.  Well, I had to take out the trash to the dumpster but that's it.  I did my laundry this morning, and I planted some cilantro and tamarind.  I need to mark where I put the tamarind.  I'm keeping all the young trees at the size of large shrubs.  I can't reach the high fruit is the problem, and I'm not planning on commercial farming.  Ain't no mo!  Lunch was a tofu omelet and fries, and for dinner I had my mother's awesome fish curry with fresh pita bread made from fresh dough.  The law of bread is that it tastes the best when freshly cooked.  Well, I had to let my fresh dough rise for a couple of hours before I could cook it.

Mary Unknown7 is telling me that she fails to reach that high note on "Chandelier" every single time, and she won't sing it unless she can.  I'm guessing that she won't.  I know you kids love that song but keep hopeful, sometimes it takes her months to master a song.  Instead I gave her to sing an old Shadowplay song called "Failure", which I wrote when Andre was still alive.  I remember recording some of tracks in the closet, I think it was the bass drum and the vocals.  I sang this as a baritone, and Mary is going to sing it an octave higher.  She has trouble getting those low notes, especially early in the set.  It's very rare that she sings Karen Carpenter as the first song.



I don't know why I approved this outfit for Mary.  It's unsexy, loud, not consonant with her personality, and too friendly, especially now that we are living in "social distancing" times.  Mary laughed at me and said, "Failure!"
