I have resolved to go back to playing from the dots instead of the freewheeling improvisation that is my wont. Then I caught sight of this cartoon.

Life is just a bowl of fricking cherries
Seeing that I am moreorless confined to barracks at the moment, I scratch around for things to do that won't upset my hips, knees and bumpsadaisy. So I have begun to brave the complexities of my new keyboard. The basic grand piano setting is majestic, even if all I have played so far is the Teddy Bears' Picnic. Beyond that, styles and voices and rhythms and tempi are areas of mystery.

Anybody want to hear the Teddy Bears' Picnic played in 5/4 time?

Yes, yes! Teddy Bear's Picnic is what I sing when I confront a bear in the woods. They turn and run. Every time. Hmmm.
I recommend "Audacity" which is googlable, a free download, easy to use. I think short stuff can be posted on blogspot.

I am sure you know what a hapax legomenon is. I am a collector of phrases that by their nature can only have been used once. Mary mia, you have produced a stunner "Teddy Bears' Picnic is what I sing when I confront a bear in the woods". What are the chances of anyone else anywhere else ever saying that?
I don't think I will need Audacity, but thanks anyway.
