Sweet sounds from a wonderful neighbor. Really enjoyed the backstory. Just wondering if the guy EVER seemed as joyous as she did. Some people are more reserved in their excitement. I like how you illustrate feeling in major and minor, and the snare didn't bother me at all. Jerry Garcia was my first love of the pedal steel in "Teach Your Children." This is a really good tune with much emotion. Man, I'd like to talk with you for 10 minutes and see what we write from that. hehe Much appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed it, Alan. I do hope you return for another song updating the neighbors woes.
Hey Marty ...
The neighborhood is always a better place when you show up - thanks for dropping in!
The lady wasn't particularly jealous, to the extenrt of my knowledge; she felt neglected and underappreciated.
I have virtually no kowledge of music theory - don't read or write notation appreciably. My knowledge of theory ends after: if I pluck the strings, press the keys, or blow into the mouthpiece, it should make a sound of some kind. After that, the knowledge bank goes broke very quickly.
I guess we'll have to talk for ten minutes sometime - longer would be even better - and see what happens! I get inspiration from various sources. Thje most unusual, probably, is roadside billboards. A number of years ago, I was driving from St. Louis to Memphis. Near Cape Girardeau, MO on I-55 there was a billboard for a Baptist Church. It invited folks to attend and receive ther gospel and Southern hopitality. I wrote a song called "Southern Gospetality" that made me a few dollars.
I also read the back pages of newspapers, look at quirky on-line sites, and listen to conversations wherever I am.
Anyway, glad you enjoyed the composition! Thanks for the kind words!
Alan
