If you ain't got that swing

Roger Radcliffe, straight from the East End of London. Been playing music since before I could walk. Jazz is my speciality, though I dabble in classical as well.

I haven’t seen The Godfather but it seems like a decent sounding movie. I apologize for doubting you.

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

The Academy would agree with that statement. Once I get that video player we’re watching it. It’s long but worth it. You’ll want to watch parts 2 and 3 afterwards, so we’d have t set a night aside. I’ll make snacks.

[theimportanceofbeingaurora-blog]

If  ask you what you’re going to be watching, will I regret it?

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

Oh have some faith. If you must know I was thinking of starting a video collection, as I picked up a nice copy of The Godfather from the thrift store on the boardwalk but I don’t know if I want to invest in a video collection if I don’t have a proper video player.

Why didn’t you talk me out of that bloody earring? I swear to God, Ro, I’ll have to tell my kids about how my best mate let me walk into a tattoo parlor while drunk on her birthday and walk out with a pierced ear.

If anyone’s got a video player they’d be willing to loan me, I’d thank you massively and maybe even buy it off you if I like it enough.

[theimportanceofbeingaurora-blog]

You know how badly I’ve missed you? I’ve missed you enough to watch Zombie Strippers again. That’s a whole lot, so yes please.

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

Wow, well I certainly feel missed now. I know how much you detest that movie. 

[outtatheway-honey-blog1]

Uh hello, you’re forgetting SOMEONE the TOP BITCH of Elias. 

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

My apologies. You’ve been unusually quiet lately, I’ve forgotten about your Top Bitch status.

[not-a-real-boy-blog]

It’s the biggest bitch here, definitely. 

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

This is literally the first time in weeks that I’ve had time to sit down and just be lazy for a few hours. 

[theimportanceofbeingaurora-blog]

It keeps us from hanging out, so yes.

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

The minute my mid-spring recital is over, we’re getting breakfast for dinner and watching bad scary movies. If you don’t agree that sucks, because I’ll be on  your couch.

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

Well, I think we can all agree that school’s a bitch, yeah?

Whatever genius decided to start putting bacon bits in mac and cheese...

[alleycat-omalley-deactivated202]

Oh, so you’re definitely a seasoned member by far. Yeah? And where’s home for you, sir? I love the place, the view is straight out of a postcard, it is. I like waking up just as the sun is about to rise, casting those orange-y yellow-y colors on the water? Once I figure out what exact color it is, I’m determined to write a song about it. Just a week or so ago I was in Paris, weather in the mid 40’s, and here it’s doubled! And I said to myself, “Not bad, Bahamas.”

But you said you were part of the music program? Do you play something? OR are you one of those…producer types? I met the strangest fellow the other day, and he creates music all though the computer. Can you believe that? It’s the most fascinating. 

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

I'm from London. I like my grey skies and perpetual rain and the crowds of people and the soft fog over the Thames. But I've got a thing for sunsets, and I must say the one here can't be beat.

That I am. Music composition, specializing in jazz, officially, but I do my fair share of classical. Mostly piano, and some trumpet. I take it that I'm in the presence of a fellow musician, yeah?

[alleycat-omalley-deactivated202]

Name’s Thomas. Thomas O’Malley. And I’m all shiny and new to this place, so I’m not surprised that you haven’t seen me around. But likewise, Roger, you seem like a pretty cool cat, yanno? Have you been at this place long? 

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

I was here for all of last year, but had to take the fall off to go home and work a bit. So I missed the influx of fall students and I'm not quite sure who's new and who I just missed. What do you think of it so far? This place's a bit warmer than I'm used to and there's the island kitsch of it that can get annoying, but the beaches are wonderful and the music program's top-ranked, so I can't complain at all.

[alleycat-omalley-deactivated202]

I’m inclined to believe that some will put bacon in just about anything and it will become an instant culinary masterpiece.

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

Truer words have, indeed, never been spoken. Don't know if I've seen you around before, but my name's Roger. Nice to meet you.

[tokillyouorkissyou]

…. You’ve only just now tried it?

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

Oh of course not. I just happened to make an absolutely fantastic rendition of it, and thus, felt the need to share it with the blogs, in case any one did not think of it before.

[oh-itdontmeanathing-blog]

I applaud you sir. Or ma'am.
