'Ello, 'ello,' 'ello

Mr. B!ue Sky

True enough. Willie Nelson did a cover of Blue Skies. Never cared much for his singing voice but he knows how to use it and he did write some tunes. He said that in the same week he wrote “Crazy,” “Funny How Time Slips Away,” and “Night Life.” He transmitted this factual information over the radio and I received it hook line and sinker.

That must have been some week of seeing the power of truth. A fine example of recognition into conceptual thought energy transmorgifying first into voice energy and then cash energy, which validates whether or not the voice energy is in accord with reality, i.e., true.

That Willie covering Coldplay, Wonderful.

How. come you cover so much ground in music. I could never even find such as 'Immigrant', amazing new discoveries for me.
Thanks.

He does leave out the fluff on that one.

I like this. Instrumental with some scat.

(I suspect I know the how, in retrospect)

Here's a sample of my recent music, an instrumental called "Glass". My fb and muso pals seem fairly underwhelmed by it I might as well give you all a chance note to be underwhelmed too - it might save you on sleeping pills :)

For the record, I'm playing drums and the piano-y/stringy keyboard head. My jam pal is playing guitars, bass and keyboards (vibraphone setting).

Very nice. Is your jam pal Geddy Lee or the tracks were recorded separately?

Glass reminds me of Philip, which reminds me of Reich:

Cheers, glad at least someone enjoyed it :) Yes, the basic track is just part of a guitar/drums jam and we added dubs later.

Philip Glass and Steve Reich, masters of musical hypnosis :)

Great, really good sound.

I'm glad to hear you say that, Pluto, because my focus has been on keeping things ultra simple and cheap, the kind of setup even teens could afford and achieve - and without getting machines to do all the playing! I'm all for labour saving gadgets, but some labour - like playing an instrument - can be more fun to do manually. The hard part for young players today is living in close proximity and noise. It's hard to know what will happen with music in the future.

Levi Stubbs, quite an artful, expressive voice.

“You know I don't come from no black lagoon.
I'm from past the stars and beyond the moon.
You can keep the thing,
Keep the it,
Keep the creature, they don't mean shit!”

Don't you think Rick Moranis looks like a protypical Christian lad?

I love that scene. Some great contemporary songs have used classical etc. melodies.
