“Just one.” That is what I said to my wife. Just one. It was about the 1958 show “Peter Gunn”, perhaps you don’t remember the show, But, I am sure, you remember the theme song. How do you convey it on a typewritten page? I’m going to listen to it. Which version?
The original, from the soundtrack of the original? From the Qatar Philharmonic, starting with the drummer and tuba player getting us through the intro and then the rest of the brass walking onto the * stage to join them on the stage? (no redundancy here…) The Blues Brothers, lots of gruff sound there. Or Sarah Vaughn – yes there can be vocals in the piece and they are great also. Or more rock with Poison Ivy or The Venture. Yeah, if you have trouble remembering it there are plenty of choices to listen to, which I did because, well “just one.”
I had never seen Peter Gunn as a kid. It originally aired from 1958 through 1961. The plot lines were very, and I do mean very, simple. They do seem to get a bit more complex. Not by much. I said “just one” today. I was chilled. It seemed to be something to do. So we watched. And another and another and even more. Kinda like listening to the theme song. It just seemed to hook us in.
If you have a Amazon credit card, they are free to you. Enjoy.
By the way, I had earlier talked about Bordertown, a serial about a Finnish town close to Russia. We watched it to the end. And we are happy with it. A couple of low spots in it. But all in all it was satisfying with a great conclusion. Netflix.
LATIN and CURSIVE WRITING
I have asked the Facebook crowd about these subjects. Amazing responses. Does your school require cursive writing? It seems that it no longer taught. Well, not everywhere. And for people who did have it there was a large crowd that will admit to to having terrible writing. (ahem, I am working on mine. Writing with a mix of block and cursive letters.) Over 100 people have responded to that query. In the Latin world, just asked a day or two ago, 45 people have replied. It seems a majority of them did have Latin taught. Some people talking about three years in high school. A couple of them saying it was a great thing to have learned.
I am working on both subjects. Wish me luck.
