JayBeacham.com-A Voice as an Instrument

ON November 18 I did a show, stories and song at the Temple View RV Park.

It was the weekly Potluck program.  They “enjoyed it” and were very forgiving of my forgetfulness and that of the piano player.  Next time will be better.

Tonight I video taped the ” Bag Full of Miracles” play by the Senior Class Act Theater group at the Sun River theater. The last night. Second time for me to see it. Very good. Christen Olsen also taped it.  Between the two of us we got the whole show on tape.

On 15 of July, I posted the following:

“Its your body’s health”

I just finished reading “2 day acne cure” an e-book available for purchase from http://www.productsupplycenter.com/web283032/

It is a very good book and advises good health regime.  I wish I had written it.

You should get it and try the program.

I don’t have acne now but feel that this program could help me feel better and have healthier skin too.”

But it seems that most people would rather keep buying solutions for years than to learn how to change their life style and solve the problem permanently for a lot less money.

E-book tells how: http://www.squidoo.com/ahealthyme 

Find a link here and some information about it.

I attended the Wensday Night concert.  Brodie Perry and friend Chris Shuck(no program was provided so I may be miles off on the spelling)(who sang two solos while dressed in his military uniform. Also three women: Jenny Smith, Heidi Anderson, and Taz Murie sang solos or duets with Brodie or each other. The audience even got to join in on the last number.  It was better than any TV concert, lasting one and a half hours, the audience did not grow tired of it and stood to applaud at the end.

Brodie is one of the best vocalists ever. And the others were very good.

Warmer today October 31, Saturday and the warm shingles cut like warm butter even with a dull blade.

It has been windy and cold in Utah’ Dixie for several days.

I’ve been re-shingling the north side of some friends’  roof.

“Why don’t you work in the mornings?” I was asked.

Well, when asphalt shingles are cold they don’t scuff up when walked on by installers and the cellophane strip on the back come off easily but they become stiff and are very hard to cut with a utility knife.  Shingles need to be cut to fit around pipes and vents and on the sides of the roof. A certain amount of heat is needed.

Tip: When possible, plan re-roof and roofing projects using asphalt shingles from late spring to early fall to avoid  cold temperatures.

Besides, the shingle tabs can melt into the glue strips when the weather is warm and cannot when it is cold.  Problem here is that winds could take tabs and even shingles off that are not sealed down.

In October 2008, I built up some flat sections of a roof that were lower than the drains on the sides of the roof.  I used felt and liquid roof coating over tapered plywood.  The product we got was a water borne asphalt.   Because the weather was cool, the felt wrinkled badly and couldn’t even be flattened with nails.  What to do? We had to wait until the hot summer.  The rolls and wrinkles in the felt completely fattened out when the moisture in the asphalt was able to dry out, thus drying the felt out and letting it lay flat.

Tip: If the cheaper water borne asphalt product must be used, do the work during summer’s heat.

I can’t say that the quote exactly fits my situation, but I feel a lot like what Erza Taft Benson said at one time: “To busy making history to write about it.”

I have been busy since the last entry with much work and other activities.

Sang in “The One Song Wonder Quartet” with David Watson(His title for the group), Stuart Spendlove, and Dale Larkin with a counter song by Kalin Snow.  Our second year of “Lida Rose from Music Man and Marion ” for the Golden Generation luncheon during Homecoming Week at Dixie State College in St. George Utah.  Have done several special tours and an appearance with other St. George Live actors as Brigham Young. Sang a solo in church with the ward choir, harvested the October peaches and irrigated even today for the last time this season, filed the tax report for 2008, and done many other financial things in order to stay afloat, helped son James by acting in his film entry for the Guerilla film fest for Oct. 30th with brother Stan, John Drewry, Jake Schaubelt( I sing in the film), and still put countless hours into voice over auditions and reading and deleting email messages online,  etc.

Am even getting a back log of work again. Even a story telling engagement for a private school on the 30th of Oct. where I’ll portray pioneer Jacob Hamblin and tell other stories as I guide the students from the Hamblin to the old fort and corral and pioneer cemetery in Santa Clara, Utah.

Things are on the up.

Tip of the day: The roofer dud said do the roof repairs today. The owner said wait till tomorrow morning. Its now raining and in some areas of St. George very hard. Tip: Listen to the roofer.

It’s been hot and cold and you’ve run your swamp cooler but then you went out of town for a week or two or were in the hospital and rehab for a month as one customer was,  you shut your cooler off while away.  Good idea but while it was off  the aspen pads got dirt blown in them and maybe mold began to grow or just moss or algae.

The tip: Change the pads. For under $4.00 each, it is well worth it to preserve your health and the air will be cooler and will smell so much nicer.

I believe in saving money and economizing, but this is one place where you shouldn’t  scrimp on money.
