so, it appears

I’ve been tagged in some bizarre Puma equivalent to a chain letter  where  I have to tell folks 6 random things about myself and then tag six other bloggers to do the same.  The easy part is tagging six other bloggers … don’t hate the player folks, hate the game!

So, here’s the easy part first.  (Hey, doing the easy things first got me through school, what can I say?)

Okay, six random things about me:

1)  I wrote a song that Beyounce recorded.

2) I would eat sushi everday if I could afford it.

3) I had a speaking role in a French Movie of the Week that was filmed in New Orleans called Scarlette’s Children.  I played a waitress at cafe du monde even though the scene was filmed in the courtyard of a hotel and not cafe du monde.

4) I have a hobby of being a sound engineer … I’ve mic’d Elvis Costello, Joss Stone, Keith Richards (and had a 2o minute conversation with him in which i understood NOT one word, but said, really? and yes?  a lot), all of the Nevilles,  the ZZ Top dudes, was supposed to but refused to mic Nelly, mic’d Randy Newman several times and a whole bunch of other folks …

5)  This is a picture of me playing one of the big steinways at Carnegie Hall a few years a go

6) My favorite movie of all times is Local Hero.  I own every single session of Cowboy Bebop.  My steinway grand and the front two rooms of my house were used in the imax movie Hurricane on the Bayou as the supposed home of Allan Tousaint.  He plays my piano and watches out for Hurricane Katrina.  The stupid crew filmed and left my kitchen door open and you get a great view of the kitchen sink area where they stacked a bunch of cans of soda pop, I did actually straighten up for them but cringe every time I see that.  They shot most of it from outside my dining room window because my house is really small and the imax cameras are HUGE. As a matter of fact, I’d bet the IMAX screen is about twice the size of the two rooms they used for the set.

Update: here’s a pic of my dining room/piano room with the kitchen door CLOSED.
