another from new exploring with the mountain dulcimer. This one tuned DAC. Digging it. Created for the Sound-in Event.

August 9 - 1-hour skirmish (I cheated a bit and ended up taking 1.5 hrs., but I did have the song in the hour). Prompt: "I'm so ...." Tossed around a few ideas then this came. Used the fabulous internet to help me come up with 1964-ish ideas…

August 11 - A world beat/rock song. When I don't know who's side you're on Oh, It hurts, I really need you But if I must go it alone I will, if I have to The strength of moving together The love that binds us effortlessly We Are Stronger…

August 14 VERSE: The minutes pass As do the lives we've planted And it's easy to take Too much for granted We plow ahead Beliefs get slanted Do we really have time for that CHORUS: Its' a Borrowed World We're not here very long…

August 18 - Working on learning to improve my skills with midi and VST instruments, still much to get a handle on. VERSE: It's time to step over The line that we've drawn in our minds The heat we expel From our anger and fear is a sign…

August 20 - Wrote the lyric to the prompt "Just Out of Reach," though I've experienced this when I was younger and even sometimes today, I was thinking a lot about one of my best friends who has never married or had a long-term relationship…

August 22 - Was reading the statistic about how few U.S. citizens make the effort to vote. It's surprising to me, but I do understand how some feel that it doesn't matter. I disagree. VERSE: It's dark outside Foul winds are blowing There…

August 28 - An intentionally ambiguous lyric that's not meant to say anything necessarily about the pandemic .... or maybe it could? VERSE: He was walkin' up downtown Through the heart of the city The streets were gettin' crowded again…

August 30 - Sunday skirmish, prompt is "Conversation" - joined late because we took a trip to visit my Aunt today, and interestingly our little day trip ended up being perfect as a jumping off point for my lyric. VERSE: A perfect late-summer…

September 7 - At first glance I had some musical ideas in mind, so really glad that Cindy's lyric was available for a collab. My aim was to keep it in the pop/rock vein but with a nod to African rhythms/sounds. Cindy's original note to her…

September 10 - Feeling like the well is running dry lyrically (I know that's not true and is really fear, doubt, and resistance). Grabbed this title from the FAWM Muse site and told myself "write!" VERSE: The tall grass is blowing As I ride…

September 12 - This could be that inner voice that might prevent someone from expressing themselves creatively, or from pursuing any other goal that might cause fear or resistance. Partially inspired by the Stephen Pressfield book "The War of…

September 17 - Wanted to try another song in AABA form, since I ended up liking my song from last Sunday's skirmish. This ended up being Part 2 because about three-quarters of the way through the song I had another idea and almost scrapped this…

A recording from aug 23 Hans Nooitgedagt Jr - drums Bingsolex - lead guitar Erwin B - bass, recording KC - vocals, guitar, keys & mix -------------------------------------------- I don't take no for an answer I want to know what…

Some straight-up tenor sax, starting off somewhat tuneful but eventually wandering, as tends to happen.

Listening to Boris today will do it to you ...... Thanks for listening Talking Head (Am7 Am/D D7 sus4 F C Gm DM Cm Am F C G F C Gm ) Your just a talking head to me I see your lips move but I don’t hear what you say Tomorrow is just…
