  1. I remember copying other musicians when I was young. I learned licks from the pop stars of the day, I digested sheet music and music books, and learned record solos note for note. I listened to sax players, guitar players, vocalists, in a variety of genre, and internalized all that. The more I learned, the more I combined what I learned, until it was no longer recognizable as what influenced me, but was now my own. From what I read, AI seems to be on this journey. I'm glad I'm a live, gigging musician, because I don't think AI is going to replace me very soon.
  2. I think not many people are going to use this facility
  3. We did an Independence Day gig at the nursing home of the VA Hospital for our area. We all had a great time, and met a lot of interesting people. The parts of the facility that I saw were spotless and well maintained. Plus the help seemed to be very friendly and respectful to the disabled vets. That was very good to see.
  4. Don't say no no no no --- say maybe Maybe Baby — Buddy Holly & The Crickets
  5. Cream & Sugar makes the coffee better.
  6. Another lady tried to save her and went chest first into the same propeller. It was an udder disaster.
  7. Blue Train — John Coltrane Somewhere in this house, I have that LP.
  8. Crikey—I cleanly missed the clever cricket joke that someone cracked. It's a catastrophe by Jiminy. (I haven't watched TV since the early 1990s, so all my TV references are old—I'm approaching my codger years.)
  9. Neither you nor I nor anyone else has to like it, and we can list reasons why, but it's hard to argue with something that makes zillions of dollars. I don't like football, hang gliding, or hot peppers, but lots of people do. And I can think of reasons why I don't like them. Football=boring. Hang gliding=dangerous. Hot peppers=the plants developed that to keep animals from eating them, who am I to argue?
  10. Again, I'll stick with what I learned in school and via the Berklee correspondence course. I paid for those lessons, and I'm going to use them Melody, harmony, and rhythm are all components of music, but according to what I learned, you need all three for it to be music. But like I said earlier, we probably just need to agree to disagree.
