Entertaining Video: Rico Loop - "In One Shot"

Screen Shot Taken From Today's Video

  --------------------------------------------

Hello,

Today's video may not be for everyone—but I thought it was very cool—and definitely unusual. 

The description on the site where I found it gives very little information—but it features a guy in what looks like a European city somewhere using an digital sampler/controller to mix various sounds he creates by ringing bike bells, blowing in bottles—along with sounds he makes with his mouth, a little scatting, and a dash of singing too.

He improvises an entire track while he walks and dances along the street.

What really makes it enjoyable is that he looks like he's having fun—and the people he encounters respond to his enthusiastic performance with smiles—although some seem a bit bewildered as well.

: )

The video is titled "Rico Loop - In One Shot"—which I think is a nod to the performer's name—and of course that it is one continuous shot of him.

Hope you get a kick out of this too.

PS:  The best part in my opinion is when he plays a harmonica in a bluesy style at about 2:23...and he's pretty good too!





Thanks for stopping by!

See you again soon!

Two Men On Town Payroll - Don't Do Any Work For 15 Years

Hello!

Almost a year ago to the day this blog published a story about a building supervisor in Spain who had not gone to work in as many as 14 years!

https://perfectusstuffus.blogspot.com/2017/07/man-skips-work-for-6-to-14-years-and.html

Today's post is about almost the exact same thing — but this time with a Driver and Gardner — also in Spain.

------------------------ 

In June of 2016 - Two men "in the town of Jerez de la Frontera, southern Spain, have been fired after the town hall discovered they had been collecting pay but not going to work for a period of up to 15 years.

The Human Resources department in the town council at first discovered that the two men had not been to work for a single day in 2015 or so far in 2016 when they were going through their records.

But on further inspection they discovered that the period stretched much further back than they could have imagined.

The town admitted on its own website that: The two "could have gone years without coming to work [and] according to a written statement by the men themselves this situation could date back 15 years.'

Their union defended the men suggesting 'that they were simply taking off their "accumulated days" and those of other employees, which can be shared."

-----------------------

The two men are not the only workers exposed as having worked much fewer hours than they should have.

The town hall claims that it also discovered that several workers from the local police had worked fewer than 100 days in 2015. One member worked only 47 days in 2015, while another worked 66.

In February 2016 it was discovered that a civil servant has failed to turn up to work for six years but had continued to collect his salary each month when no one noticed his absence.

------------------------

Now if we could only talk the government workers in the U.S. into not "working" too.
