Sybilrose - Far Above Rubies

[elron77]

Har har...

Actually, after/If I clear Monday's Court call, I am going out golfing next Tuesday. Today, I have an engineering project I have more or less got a bunch of people involved in, and they are expecting some direction today.

An olive green Muscle shirt and a Beret to be metaphysical... beatnics... you remember, don't ya. Before Hippies... How really bad jazz and poetry got it's foot hold in this country...

the ones around here always wore sloppy sweatshirts...sort of a cross between Manard T Crebs....and , hey!...You ain't makin, inuendo's are ya

 

[TheBloozeMan]

Get your ass back here....you ain't gettin off the hook that easy

Hell, most of the time I can't speel it...

There was the beat generation that is from around the end of the war... they were the olive green ones.

Dobie Gillis guy was more the beatnic - you're right.

I will be in the studio around lunch after I get the engineering issue resolved. I may have to alter my plans for Anne's and my old bedroom... this sleeping in the studio is not working out once I get the microphones up... the place is like a jungle.



Have a good one El...

Hey, I appreciate you - you know that don't you?

You might want to check Southwest airlines when we get the date firmed up. They have been having some really good fares to Jacksonville and Orlando (which are on either side of St Augustine) from Tulsa, Kansas City and St Louis on their DING program. $45 or so one way. That's about $110 round trip. Can't buy car gas for that price.

Right now they are just doing Dings through about Nov 14th.

That would be cool... then all I'd have to do is figger out how to get a guitar there without having it mashed or having to buy an Anvil Case for it...

Well, for all you who have been haunting your email provider looking for the song today I have sad, Sad news... no dice.

Not for lack of trying mind you. I been busting my hump all afternoon. I can't get the input into the recording program on the PC. Everything is hooked up, everything is has been checked out and run through my Crate amp just to make sure. Just no signal to the recorder.

I'm hitting the Web now and reading all the PDF books that came with the thing to try to sort it out. I really like the program and the equipment, I hope the solution is a simple - DoH!! and a thump on the forehead for being dumb.

At one point I had lost the melody for the song, so I had to sit down and really work that up until it stuck...

I'm going to take me a little nap now tho. Starting to get a bit frust-irritated...

You all have have a good Friday night with your each other tonight...
Hold 'em and hug 'em, and let 'em no you love 'em...
They are worth far more than gold...
Far more than rubies...

PM me an email and I will add you to a list of folks that get my songs, or songs that I send out.

Here's the lyrics...

A Simple Song
Macx Buck

This is my first song
Its gonna to be a simple song
I’m gonna write a simple song today

It’s gonna have a simple tune
Made up from every tune
I’m gonna write a simple song today

World peace is on its own
True love will have to wait
I’m gonna to write a simple song today

There’ll be no broken hearts
Or lonely walks in wooded parks
I’m gonna to write a simple song today​

It has a snazzy little finger picked melody.

That's it.

A simple little song.

LOL - it sounds like the two of you are having a great time.

I am so happy for both of you.

Man, Jimmy Buffett has some pretty good people working for him. It is almost like every song he writes anymore turns into a franchise.

Thank's for the coaster! I got a spot on the wall picked out for it already!

Well, I got me a thread to pull on with the interface - it is taking over the sound card - not much of a thread really. What it means is that I am going to look in a couple option menus for something that looks like it will straighten it out - failing that, I'm going to start calling people.

I need somebody to help prepare me for talking to the helpdesks. If you fill your mouth with Cheerios and talk as fast as you can, I'll see if I can understand you, or listen until I do...

This little delay has messed me up even more. Like, I felt all along I should have another verse to the song, but the idea that a simple song would only have one verse fits my sense of order so I didn't push it. Well while I was trying to remember the tune I came up with a couple more lines. Six of them, half a verse.

Now, I ain't much of a song writer, and I damn sure ain't no poeter, but I know the danger of half a verse, or even one line. You wait on it, and you wait on it - and sooner or later you start pressing, scratching for it, grasping for it. You can find the line in a song, in a poem, hell - in a movie script, where the guy ran out of ideas - got impatient. Maybe it was a deadline, a budget, but whatever the reason... there is a line that makes no sense, doesn't fit.

Sometimes it just kind of taps you when you go by it. Like something in the back of your mind says, "Huh, what was that?" It really doesn't stand out - it just unsettles you about the whole piece. When asked, you say "I don't know, I can't quite put my finger on it... it's missing something."

And other times it sticks out like a sore thumb. Your brain shuts down and you say, "What? What in the hell does that mean?" or "What in the hell is that doing there?" It would be refreshing to ask the writer that sometime and have him say "I ran out of ideas and was reachin'" instead of spouting some sort of existential bullshit trying to justify it.

You run into that with Jazz musicians too. You hear some sort of run that is discordent as hell, and doesn't resolve - it usually followed by a short drum solo or the bass thumping along holding the song together. But ask the musician. The honest answer - "Fuck, I don't know - I got lost and I was just trying to get back to someplace I knew." or you get the music theory major... "Well actually, that was a diminished scale based on the flatted 9th of the root's suspended fourth - it isn't supposed to resolve."

Yeah right.

So anyhow, I got half a verse...

And when I went re-huntin' for the melody and was trying to cement it in place, I tried in a couple different keys. I found one that is interesting, that requires me to capo the guitar to sing it. But it is rife with cool possibilities. That has me on the techincal hunt. El can tell you, it is frustrating to listen to... I keep stopping, going back, playing a passage over and over again, hunting around.

Anne used to get up and come kiss me on the forehead and tell me, "That's nice - why don't you play it for me when you figure it out." My Dad used to just holler, "Play something you know for Christ's sake!" That also meant I was playing too loud.

So now I got me half an arrangement to go with my half a verse, and a PC based digital recorder that can't hear my $500 condensor microphone.

This being a recording artist is not all it is cracked up to be. I wonder does Willy Nelson have to put up with this shit...
