Yes, two more tunes are burbling but not ready to be expelled into an uncaring world.
Debuted the two new songs yesterday; Peggy was industrious and photocopied the lyrics. I’ll get them the updated 40 Million Light Years. Tom cracked up when I got to the end of Doctor Who? as he recognized the closing vamp as something out of the Doctor Who theme song. I mean what are the odds I’d write the song in the same key as the theme. Waal pretty good ackshully. But seriously, it was a great practice and Keith worked hard (when he wasn’t being distracted by a three THOUSAND piece puzzle) and the folks were in fine voice. Patrick from Headwater was talking to Tom when I got there and I had a brief word with him complimenting him on his successful European tour.
Anyway, one of the choons I’m working on is an atheist hymn, which I hope will prompt my mother to go into genteel hysterics of amusement should I ever finish it (verse and chorus only so far), and the other is some kind of rock and roll “I’m a mandolin and did you know Jimmy Page plays mandolin” weirdness. Also I had a phrase come into my mind as I was dehydrating my hair. My happiness is temporary, my sadness is temporary, my fear is temporary, my anger is temporary, but the work goes on, the work goes on. That’s the musical phrasing anyway.
The Christmas break is over; the New Year has begun; what transitory delights and terrors await us in this upcoming year?
