"Today I woke up at 11:00!" I played with Kirsten and got new boots. We went to Zellers and I got my Zamfir tape. Right now I'm listening to it and its (sic) lovely. I went to see Three men and a baby with Sacha, Kirsten, Becca and Mitchell. For my third time!
How does Zamfir play the pipe so fast?"
Background:
I really wasn't like other kids, and my musical tastes certainly reflected that. While others were probably listening to Michael Jackson, I was enamoured with the Zamfir (who played the pan pipes) and, much more obsessively, a piano player named Frank Mills, famed for 'Music box dancer' a song most often heard on shop PA systems or in elevators.
It wasn't all odd choices. I did still love Duran Duran and Cyndi Lauper!
As for the movie, my mom had gotten a job counting ticket holders at a local cinema. It was great for us, we got to see movies for free!
And the excitement over waking up at 11? I was a champion sleeper and pretty proud of it. Waking up at 11 was like a badge of honour for me (though I doubt my parents felt the same way about it!)
