Lalo Schifrin has composed some of the most amazing TV themes of all time (&#8220;Mannix,&#8221; &#8220;Starsky &amp; Hutch,&#8221; &#8220;Mission Impossible,&#8221; etc.) and I really have come to like his theme for <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">&#8220;Bronk.&#8221;<\/span> While I wasn&#8217;t a fan of it at first, it&#8217;s really grown on me!<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"Lalo Schifrin - Bronk Theme Version 1\" width=\"1250\" height=\"703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7eleKT1ojkw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Monday the 20th \u2013 GOT A MATCH?! \u2013<\/span> In the early part of the day I prepped for a long session in my home studio. I have been doing a session for a recurring client for about 5 years at the Bang Zoom! studios in Burbank. But since they\u2019ve closed, and the client still needs more tracks recorded, they decided to have me record some tracks in my home studio and see if the folks in their lab can match the sound from all the previous recordings over the years. I surrounded my workstation with every spare piece of foam rubber I could find, and tried to make it as sound proof as possible. At 3 I signed on to Source Connect, and connected with Voice Trax West, who then connected with the client in San Francisco. I swapped out my usual microphone for a Neumann PT 103, which is the microphone I used at \u201cThe Tonight Show.\u201d The mic we normally used at Bang Zoom was a microphone that was very similar, so this will help them a little more to achieve the match they\u2019re looking for. We recorded for 3 hours and it went fairly well. I\u2019m hoping their experts can work their magic and match the sound so we can keep working until this madness is over. After the session I fed the pets and made a pizza. I did some other work, did a few auditions, and then my effects guy Jim Ojala came over to get my trash can so he can distress it for the new home of my Oscar the Grouch replica Muppet. I took a short nap on the couch, and then when I got up later I did more auditions. I worked in the garage cleaning out some cabinets and listening to the radio. There was a lot of junk in those cabinets and they had gone neglected for years. I had paint in there from projects I did in the early 2000s! I cleaned everything out, rearranged everything and organized, and it was looking sweet! I came inside to wrote Wally\u2019s Week and then hit the hay.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Tuesday the 21st \u2013 INFO: NOT PANIC! \u2013<\/span> Spook had been sticking to everything like Velcro so it was time to take him in for a manicure. I took him in, they trimmed his nails, and then I took him home. I know he hates going in, but honestly, I think he appreciates not sticking to stuff and he rather enjoys the mani\/pedi. I drove to the hardware store to buy a mask. Yup, I finally broke down. I was sick of the bandanas with hair ties that didn\u2019t stay affixed around my ears. I headed to my mailbox to make my weekly trek to get my mail, and then headed off to the grocery store to get some supplies. I came home and put the groceries away, fed the pets, and went back into the garage to continue with my cabinet project. Though my paint cabinet was populated with numerous cans of paint from my various projects, I went through them one by one to test them to see if they still worked. About one-fourth of them were either clogged or empty, so I disposed of them. Then I cut up some boxes so the paints that still worked would go in the cabinet in groups. I organized them by groupings of white, blacks, colors, primers, clear coats, and I even organized all my fabric dyes. Now they\u2019re all easily findable when I need them! Before it was a confusing mishmosh of junk. Now I even have more room in the cabinets for other stuff. I have two more cabinets to go through and do the same thing with. As I was working in my garage, Roxy came out to hang out for a bit. A few of my masked neighbors walked by and when Roxy recognized their voices she went out to greet them. My one neighbor froze with fear like she was about to be attacked by a pit bull. I called Roxy off, and I told my neighbor there was no reason to be afraid. You can\u2019t catch anything from petting a dog. She had been believing all of the hype and panic that you can get infected by animals. I thought the whole thing started when a guy ATE an animal (if you believe that story), but petting? I found that hard to believe. Sure enough she admitted that she didn\u2019t have any solid information to support her panic, so I went inside and looked up info on the AVMA (American Veteranarian Medical Association) and found out that (and I\u2019m paraphrasing) viruses can only live on hard surfaces like countertops and door handles. A dog\u2019s coat is porous and the virus can\u2019t live on porous things; as they don\u2019t make good hosts for viruses. I\u2019m telling you people are going nuts with all this panic\u2026utterly crazy. I e-mailed her the link to inform her with real medical information so she would no longer by panicked by the next friendly dog that came up to her. NOTE: As of 4\/28 the CDC has released info in an article that social distancing is now being recommended for pets out of an abundance of caution. NOTE: This is not backed up by any sort of evidence or fact, other than just an abundance of caution. Even in the article the final line states, \u201cEven with the new recommendations, the agency said there is no evidence pets play a role in spreading the virus in the U.S.&#8221; Then why even MENTION it? I\u2019m sick of all the baseless crap that gets disseminated via our media. That to me is worse than the actual virus! So on the rare chance that a pet DOES contact the virus, the pet would have to sneeze or cough on your in order for you to catch it. It\u2019s highly unlikely (damn near impossible, I think) to catch it from petting a dog. This whole thing is going beyond the pale of ridiculousness I think. But then again, I like to learn solid info and facts, extrapolate it as such, and make my judgments from that. I don\u2019t go into panic mode and lose my mind. Like the fact that you have a 99.9% chance of not catching this if you\u2019re healthy. And even if you DO catch it, you have a 99.9% of surviving. But that news is seldom reported because it doesn\u2019t get ratings. (Don\u2019t get me started!) I did some of my auditions, and then took a nap. I\u2019m still hoping someday that I\u2019ll wake up from a nap and realize this was all a really bad dream. No luck yet. I did a little work around the house, edited some videos on my computer, walked Roxy, came inside to make some spaghetti and watch another episode of \u201cBronk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Wednesday the 22nd \u2013 THE HEAT IS ON! \u2013<\/span> What a glorious warm day, with the likelihood that it\u2019s going to get warmer. I\u2019m talking \u201cearly summer\u201d warm! AWESOME! But unfortunately it was very windy. Weather like this makes me miss my beloved Palm Springs! It was such a warm, lazy day that I really didn\u2019t do much of anything except lay around. Later in the night when it cooled down a bit I went back into the garage and kept working on my cabinet reorganization project. I came in and showered, and then napped on the couch for a bit. When I got up later I had an amazing e-mail from my attorney that all of the trademarks we applied for had been granted! At first it looked like they were going to contest them, but when we filed appeals they acquiesced and granted us the marks! These are all germane to my kid\u2019s book series we\u2019re launching. It was really windy out, and when that happens my allergies go nuts! I stayed inside and did some more video editing, and then walked Roxy for our late night stroll through the neighborhood. Even though it was nice and warm out, it was too windy to enjoy a cigar. I came back inside and worked on filing the original artwork for my kid\u2019s book concept, made some soup, and watched \u201cBronk\u201d again.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Thursday the 23rd \u2013 VITAMIN D-LIGHTFUL! \u2013<\/span> The day began with a stroll outside with Roxy. It was sunny, hot, and the wind had died down. Roxy loved lounging in the grass of the courtyard getting her vitamin D. To be honest, I enjoyed standing in the sun as well. While I normally try to avoid it as much as possible, today it felt Heavenly! I worked around the house doing odd jobs, napped in the evening, and then got up to do some more video editing. When the time came to take Roxy out for our late night stroll, I realized the evening was perfect to enjoy a cigar! It was a still, clear, gorgeous night! Plenty of stars, euphoric quiet, and pleasant weather. Roxy and I took a nice leisurely stroll as I finally got to enjoy my cigar. I came inside and did more editing and was feeling very mellow. I made a sloppy joe, some soup and watched another \u201cBronk\u201d episode. I love this show and I\u2019m very sad (and confused) as to why it went only one season.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Friday the 24th \u2013 SUMMER COMES! \u2013<\/span> With my A\/C on all day, and me sleeping like a baby, I finally got up later in the day to walk Roxy and feed the kids. It was pretty hot out, and will continue to be hot until Sunday evening. This is the kind of weather I had been longing for all winter! I did a little work around the house, turned on a fan, and napped on the couch. Later I got up to enjoy another gorgeous summer night. It was only slightly breezy, which was fine, because it clears away all the clouds and it allows me to see what stars you\u2019re able to see in a city the size of L.A. I felt very much at peace, and really started longing for another trip to Palm Springs. I thought carefully about it and laughed when I realized that my trips to Palm Springs are pretty much the epitome of \u201csocial distancing.\u201d Roxy and I stay up all night and watch the stars from the balcony of my room, which is isolated high and away from the rest of the hotel\u2019s activities, and we sleep all day. Really the only time we see anyone is when she has to go outside, or we go grab food. I like those periods of isolation in the glorious desert weather. I did a little more work on the cabinets in my garage and how I have so much extra room now, I need to carefully consider what I\u2019m going to store in them. I fed the kids and then drove over to Denny\u2019s to pick up some food to go. I came home and ate and watched \u201cBronk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Saturday the 25th \u2013 SENTIMENTAL SATURDAY! \u2013<\/span> Once again I slept all day in air conditioned comfort. I got up in the evening to feed the kids, and laid right back down on the couch and slept some more. Later in the evening I decided that Roxy and I needed to get out of the house, so I called Barone\u2019s to order a pizza to go, put the top down in my Mustang, put Roxy in the back, and we drove through the warm night enjoying the evening. I got my pizza and then headed home listening to \u201cDisco Saturday Night\u201d on 1260 AM. As I\u2019ve said before, there\u2019s just something magical to listening to 70\u2019s songs on the AM band. It reminds me of being a kid, I guess. So as Roxy and I are cruising through the night, \u201cLove\u2019s Theme\u201d by Love Unlimited Orchestra came on. Amazing! Then \u201cPhysical\u201d by Olivia Newton-John came. Now this song REALLY takes me back to when I was a radio DJ on KELO-AM and we played the song every 90 minutes. It was then the ambience of the evening overwhelmed me. Great music on AM, gorgeous night time weather, the smell of pizza \u2013 it all made me very sentimental and gave me a bit of a tear. As I was pulling in home, they played \u201cHollywood Swingin\u201d by Kool and the Gang. That did it. Now I was REALLY lost in Sentimental City! When I was working on \u201cThe Tonight Show with Jay Leno,\u201d the Ricky Minor band used to play this song just before we got the countdown to start the taping, in order to fire up the audience. But instead of the lyric \u201cCity of stars, movies, women and cars,\u201d the lead singer Dorian would sing, \u201cCity of stars, movies, Jay Leno\u2019s cars.\u201d Hearing that song on the radio takes me RIGHT back to those wonderful days on the show. I miss them. I went inside and ate some pizza, and then napped a bit. I got up to feed the pets, and then got an idea to write a new parody voicing my frustration with this lockdown lunacy. It\u2019s a parody of the Beatles\u2019 \u201cHelter Skelter\u201d called \u201cShelter Skelter.\u201d I wrote a few verses, and then walked Roxy to think of some more. I came back in and finished the song. I bought a karaoke track on Amazon, but it had a vocal in it! Utterly worthless as a karaoke track. WHAT?! I started sanding some puppet eyes to take the shine off, since the plastic eyes I bought on a website were shiny. I like them to look like the real Muppet eyes; matte finish \u2013 so they don\u2019t reflect light. I made an eye plate for my new puppet project; the \u201cBeautiful Day\u201d monster. But all the rigorous sanding had irritated my left elbow and it was getting painful. I\u2019ve had a case of (what I believe to be) tennis elbow for the past few weeks. Not sure if I\u2019m sleeping on it wrong or what. And to make matters worse an old chiropractic problem is returning, making the thumb and forefinger on my left hand numb. I know it\u2019s from slouching too much, as the vertebrae pinches off the nerves that run through them. It\u2019s the same nerves that feed the sensation to my left thumb and forefinger. It was a problem that developed back in the late 90s, after I had surgery. I couldn\u2019t sleep on my side, so I had to sleep on my back. But inevitably my head would sink down into my chest as I fell asleep, thus pinching my nerves. Normally when the problem would recur I would \u201cself-adjust\u201d by stretching out my neck, leaning my head back and rolling my head around to unclench those vertebrae. But with all of the slothful, lockdown inactivity I\u2019ve been involved with, the problem had returned. I wish I was bionic and I could take my entire left arm off and trade it in for a new one. The tennis elbow and the numb thumb is irritating me. Unfortunately the salad I had left had turned, so I wouldn\u2019t be able to make my traditional Saturday Night Super Salad. Instead I heated up some slices of Barone\u2019s pizza and watched \u201cSpace 1999.\u201d My pal Scott sent me a better karaoke version of \u201cHelter Skelter,\u201d so I spent some time editing it together and doing a pass of the vocals. I sent it off to Scott for mixing.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Sunday the 26th \u2013 SHELTER SKELTER! \u2013<\/span> After snoozing all day I got up later to hear the first few mixes my pal sent me of \u201cShelter Skelter.\u201d I started putting a video together of the lyrics so I could post it eventually on YouTube. My pal Sara came over later to watch a movie, but I wasn\u2019t very hungry. Normally we get food delivered and watch some movie that would be totally inappropriate for my usual movie night, but I haven\u2019t been very hungry of late. I graze during the day on Cheez-its and a veggie tray, but I\u2019ve only been eating one meal a day. We watched the old 80\u2019s horror movie \u201cMotel Hell\u201d with Rory Calhoun. It\u2019s pretty funny, but oddly enough didn\u2019t really have anything to do with a motel. It was almost like they came up with the witty title, and then put the motel aspect in as an afterthought. But I remember liking it as a kid. It was one of John Ratzenberger\u2019s first projects, I believe. After Sara left I did some work on-line, and then started in on my \u201cBeautiful Day\u201d puppet again. I made the head and put the eye plate in and then took a shower to get ready for bed. But in the shower I was singing and realized that I was in pretty good voice, so I went back downstairs and did another vocal pass on \u201cShelter Skelter\u201d to send to Scott. Then I headed to bed. When I get the mix back from Scott I\u2019ll put it on the video and then post it on Monday.
