Dear "cubanpete"...

You hope we like it??? You hope??? Man, that's like me asking you if you enjoy making music!

My mother was born in Louisiana, my father in Arkansas. Your blues conjures up images of times, places, and people I still remember from trips I took to their birthplaces as a child more than forty years ago: of backyard dogs barking at the blasting horns of mile-long freight trains barreling down the tracks at 2 a.m. through sleepy towns where the nights were as hot as the day...of fishing holes where the water was so muddy that it looked like oil...where every family had a relative that lived right next door, and so on. Yessiree, it's all in there!

This is atmospheric, emotional, gut-wrenching, story-telling blues that sounds like a "live" performance, "cubanpete". I have a feeling that you know how to get exactly what you want out of B-I-A-B, and I'm not talking about only chord changes. I'm talking about the experience of listening to a composition that has a "shape", a beginning, middle, and end. It has that elusive feeling of spontaneity that makes me think it came out of your head (and heart) whole, and not piecemeal, as sometimes happens when a composer (such as myself!) spins the "circle of fifths" wheel searching for "good" chord progressions.

Would you tell us what is the name of the documentary that inspired your composition? I'd like to watch it and listen to the soundtrack so I could determine if it sounds as good as your blues!

Sincerely,

"bluage" (a.k.a. LOREN)
