haha, this just got me thinking...Do you have a laptop on the ship that you update from? Maybe you just use a public computer they have available. Anyway, if you had a laptop maybe you could bring a keyboard on a cruise with you sometime and record some of your songs, live covers or even originals. I'm not sure of your free time, but I know the cruises are long and I'm sure these sights that your seeing could be great inspiration. Just an idea.
"Happiness is..."!
What a cool tune!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to sing it with the crew when you come home!!!!!
That's so cute! You always had a way with lyrics. Remember Binko Biloba or is it Ginko? Oh No! I'm loosing it. I need my Biloba.
Ah yes, Gingko Biloba……..I remember it well.
Back in the mid-to-late 1990s, while in my mid-to-late 40s, I got paranoid about going senile, due to some instances of forgetting this or that, due to approaching middle age, and due to a family gene pool that’s somewhat “suspect” in this area.
In hindsight I realize I’ve been “forgetting this or that” my WHOLE FRIGGIN LIFE…..when I was I kid my parents said many times that I’d forget my head if it wasn’t attached to my shoulders. In fact just yesterday I left my head in a closet for over two hours.
But back then (1996?) after reading some promo for the Wonders of Gingko Biloba, I bought a large supply of the stuff.
But of course I “forgot to take” my daily dosage with the required consistency -- thus the proverbial punchline about forgetful people forgetting to take the pill that’s supposed to reduce their forgetfulness.
It became a moot point one day in my doctor’s office when I asked him about Gingko Biloba, and he strongly ruled out the stuff. I was already taking medication for high blood pressure, and taking Gingko Biloba was very incompatible with that.
He also hinted that Gingko Biloba is overly hyped, and really doesn’t do all that much. So that was the end of that, but a pretty good song parody came out of it --
(to the tune of “Frosty the Snowman”)
Ging-ko Biloba -- is a pill I take each day
And it helps me to remember things, before they fade away
Ging-ko Biloba -- is a miracle pill I’ve found
I was headed for senility when it turned my life around
Couldn’t remember people’s names, always forgot my keys
But now I’m sharp as a razor blade,
I can learn anything with ease
(so get some) Gingko Biloba
It’ll fix your rusty brain
And you’ll never wind up in a nursery home
And you’ll never go insane
