I have to tell y’all that when I met my husband he had three organs! As I became more organized, I made sure he became less so. I made him get rid of two of them. But, my husband’s remaining organ weighs 300 pounds and has to be moved with a dolly.
Do whut???
Ohhhh you! Not that one — his Hammond organ. Sheesh. What am I going to do with y’all?
As I was saying before you went off on your tangent, smack dab in the middle of our living room, we have a Hammond organ. It rarely gets played, because Mr. Tucker has far too many interests. I enjoy it when he does play it, because he will play boogie woogie music for me. When he gets wound up all five cats run and hide so I can finally have some peace and … er … um … quiet?
To tell the truth, I didn’t know I enjoyed organ music until my husband made me start listening to it introduced me to it. Then I realized that a lot of the rock and roll music and blues music that I loved had an organ playing in it! Duh.
On my iPhone, when I get bored, I start adding silly applications. I’ve told you about Ghost Radar (go look at the comments! People are writing about their weird experiences with it!) and about Bookworm. Recently my husband sent me the following link to this YouTube video of The Spencer Davis Group’s “Gimme Some Lovin’” played on the Pocket Organ C3B3. It is an application for iPhone/iPod touch that might not be available right now, because I couldn’t find a link to it. Go ahead and listen to it. It’s fun … Scout’s honor.
I think he sent me that link so I would download the application. But, I’m not gonna do it. I’m not as dumb as I look. I know his game! See, I don’t play the Hammond organ … so I know he just wants an excuse to take my iPhone away from me.
Yes, he’d take that iPhone in a heartbeat and hope I’d paraphrase Mae West:
Honey, is that an organ in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?
Like he thinks I’d fall for that.
Do you have an iPhone? What time wasting applications would you suggest for me? You know I have eclectic taste. I don’t want an organ for my pocket, but I did download that Bubble Wrap app. What does that say about me?
That was a rhetorical question!!!

Oh, my! I am probably the queen of time-wasting apps on the iPhone. I started out by buying and downloading the iPhone version of the old game, “Oregon Trail.” Very nostalgic, as my kids played it all the way through school, and I played right along with them. You can waste an entire afternoon with it. Shark Solitaire has something like nine or twelve different solitaires, all well rendered. It has really good version of that queen of time-wasters, “Spider Solitaire.” The best of all word games is one called Moxie. It requires some smarts and can while away inordinate amounts of time. You need Google for iPhone so you can talk into it. All it needs is a mechanized recording of Majel Barrett saying “Working…” My anti-technology brother in law was here this past weekend, and I amazed everyone by addressing the iPhone saying, “Papa John’s Pizza, Eastern Avenue, Baltimore” and having it come up with the phone number. But I guess the supreme time waster on the whole iPhone is “Moosentration, LL Bean Version.” It’s free. It’s stupid. It has dumb music. It’s strangely addicting.
Anyway, that’s a rundown of my particular time wasters.
Oh, Heavens! I was going to “work” this afternoon … but you have given me other ideas. I will concede my “crown” to you. At least you download apps that require more brains than “Bubble Wrap.”
I don’t have any cool apps on my antique cell phone, but I can identify with that Hammond B3. I had a Lowry with built in Leslies. Not that grand sound like the B3, but some great effects just the same. Now, it’s a small Casio keyboard and the only organ I use is a mouth organ, or harp, a harmonica.
Betcha didn’t know I used to play in a blues band, didya? I’ll have topost some Dump and Shortcake tunes one of these days.
Hey, I can use one of those songs as a ring tone!!
Peace.

No, I didn’t know you played in a blues band, but I could have suspected it!
Right now my obsession is ORBA, a ball color matching game, love it and played it tonight while cooking supper. I also love Pebbles which is another game involving colored balls. (yes, you can have your organs and I will have my balls…..) And then there is Splash photo which I blogged about here: http://jennymcb.blogspot.com/2009/11/butterfly-iphone-photo-fun.html
Very fun. Now I need to check out the ghost one.

I have Splash, and love it, but I don’t take wonderful pictures with my iPhone. Yeah, get ghost radar. It’s fun. You should see some of the comments on that post!
