WARNING: explicit Romanian language through the end of
the show. Do not listen if you get offended easily through language.

Divorce appears to be a common side-effect of the immigration.
Many of the Romanian couples that I know dissolved within the first few years spent in Canada.

The Jungle Line
Music and lyrics by Joni Mitchell

Rousseau walks on trumpet paths
Safaris to the heart of all that jazz
Through I bars and girders-through wires and pipes
The mathematic circuits of the modern nights
Through huts, through Harlem, through jails and gospel pews
Through the class on Park and the trash on Vine
Through Europe and the deep deep heart of Dixie blue
Through savage progress cuts the jungle line

In a low-cut blouse she brings the beer
Rousseau paints a jungle flower behind her ear
Those cannibals-of shuck and jive
They'll eat a working girl like her alive
With his hard-edged eye and his steady hand
He paints the cellar full of ferns and orchid vines
And he hangs a moon above a five-piece band
He hangs it up above the jungle line

The jungle line, the jungle line
Screaming in a ritual of sound and time
Floating, drifting on the air-conditioned wind
And drooling for a taste of something smuggled in
Pretty women funneled through valves and smoke
Coy and bitchy, wild and fine
And charging elephants and chanting slaving boats
Charging, chanting down the jungle line

There's a poppy wreath on a soldier's tomb
There's a poppy snake in a dressing room
Poppy poison-poppy tourniquet
It slithers away on brass like mouthpiece spit
And metal skin and ivory birds
Go steaming up to Rousseau's vines
They go steaming up to Brooklyn Bridge
Steaming, steaming, steaming up the jungle line

So, WHY DO I PODCAST?

To answer to this question, I must look into the past.

TEXT: recording voiceovers and interviews at conferences
MUSIC: Widespread Panic, out of their 2008 album
EMAIL: mojoe763@yahoo.com

*****************************************************************

MY GENTLE ADVICE:

- find quiet corners in the first minutes at a conference.

- record a 15-30 seconds of ambiental noise in the lobby at
the conference: people chatting, speaker system announcements.

- record the interviews in quiet corners or unused meeting rooms

- when editing, you will have a separate track for ambience
and the interview. Lower the ambient volume so that the
interview track is clear for the listener

- if no interview is necessary, record your voiceover at the hotel

- you can use a car as a soundproof space for recording. Just
find a quiet spot to park the car.

GOOD LUCK!
