The Story
Welcome to the Trés Le Parque
Hello, I’m… Gideon Rhyme:
Music Enthusiast; Rock ‘n’ Roll Sommelier; Radio Industry veteran; upstart Songwriter; serviceable Blues singer and nominally skilled Harmonica player.
Trés Le Parque is my online retreat. A space to create, and share with others, what has been a lifelong passion for music.
You’re welcome to hang here, as well. For as often, and as long, as you like. Listen to the audio, leave a comment, and be part of what promises to be a lilliputian but like-minded community.
So, pull up your trailer. Put up your feet. Pop the top on a cold one, or roll one – and pump up the volume on the Blues.
Meantime, I’ll continue to tidy the place up to make you feel more comfortable.
“Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.”
― Frank Zappa

Throwing Stuff At The Wall
———————————————————————————————————————————————
When Elvis Presley was returned to sender, on the 16th of August 1977, at the age of 42, his body weighed 159 kilograms. (That’s 350 pounds. For old schoolers, think, 25 stone.)
Elvis may have been ‘King Of The Whole Wide World’ here on Earth but how would he have tipped the scales if he’d been somewhere else in our solar system at the time? According to exploratorium.edu here are the answers to our inconsequential query:
Mercury: 60.1kg Venus: 144.2kg Mars: 59.9kg Jupiter: 401.9kg Saturn: 169.1kg Uranus: 141.3kg Neptune: 178.8kg Pluto: 10.6kg
The Moon: 26.3kg The Sun: 4304.4kg
