Yesterday was Veterans' Day. Every school, banks and some companies had one day off. But the shopping centers and stores were open on the holiday.
Most people took a rest at home, and other families went shopping and cooked dinner with friends. Actually, I had a day off from school. I didn't plan to go anywhere. I just wanted to relax at home. As usual I got up at 6;00. I had to make breakfast to eat. Then I read an English text book for awhile, until noon. Then My Brother-in-law and Sister invited me to eat lunch with them at a Chinese restaurant in Monterey Park. We waited for twenty-five minutes. We ordered different foods for each person. There were fired crabs, vegetables and beans. boiled chicken, stewed pork, and lotus seed soup with steamed rice. That was a delicous meal !
Afterwards at home. We watched a DVD " The Sound Of Jazz " an American classic moive about the 1930's.The movie talked about Jazz music which was very popular at that time with a famous Black female singer whose name was Billie Holiday. It was a tragic story about her singing life. She died from drugs at age 44. It was a true story.
Anyway, I spent the whole day as a holiday. Though It wasn't anything special,I enjoyed it very much.
Great job with your recording. I love music of all types. Billie Holliday is one of my favorite singers. I like many types of music though. I like Tom Waits, The Rolling Stones, Cat Stevens, Jerry Garcia, Mahler, Bright Eyes, Bob Dylan, The White Stripes, The Cramps, The Velvet Underground, Neil Diamond, Frank Sinatra, Graham Parsons, Pink Floyd, Willie Nelson, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Neil Young, The Fleet Foxes, and many many more!!!!!!!!!!
